THE CITY ELECTION,

The annual election forcity officer,
will take place next Mondny. Two tick
cts are in the field and the gentlemen

Importance and it is very likely to pass
without awakening any very general in.
tercst.
The only issue presented to the voter
is one OF party preference. The republi.
cans have put up M excellent ticket wol-
thy the support of the party. Gen. Dew.
ey will bring to the office OF mayor un.
questioned ability. AS an executive Of.
Gccr he is thepcer OF any citizen and can
not fail to be an acceptable nominee.
His home and possessions are n part and
10 inconsiderablc part, of Yanktoh, in.
su,ing Ills hearty cooperation in all
matters which promise to promote the
general welfare. Republicans will vote
for him to q man.
Mr.. Vim. Blatt, present incumbent, Is
the republican nominee for city treasur-
or. The citizen who takes this office
should have ability and energy and be
entirely trustworthy. No man in the
community would fill the bill more COM
pletely than Mr.Blatt and every republi.
can willgladly sustain him.
Mr.. Il. L. White is the candidate for
clerk. He has held this office two terms
and is perfectly familiar with its duties.
His qualifications cannot be questioned,
his republicanism is untainted and his
party can support him with its entire
strength.
The candidate for city justice is Mr.. f.
l.. Fletcher, a young lawyer Of fine at
tainments, and one who possesses the
confidence and esteem of the people. He
possesses abundant qualifications for the
position and will be sustained by every
republican.
On the other hand in this purely parti-
san race, the democrats have named Mr..
Josiah r. Sanboln, present incumbent,
to contest the field with General Dewey.
Mr.. SanGorn is gentlemen OF unblem-
ished character and has made good Off
Ger. He belongs to Yankton, has built
up a fine business here and is still push
ing it with good success. His oycrwhelm-
ing defeat he will please attribute to the
odious condition of the political party
which claim him as IL member.
For city treasurer, the minority party
have chosen Mr.. John Fogerty, a gentle
man well and very favorably known-a
first rate citizen-tine business qualitica-
tions and deserving of membership in u
much better political party than the one
with whose fortunes he has unfortunate
ly identified himself.
For city clerk, the unterrified have se-
lected Mr. j. 4. Ziebach-an excellent
young man, almost to the manor born,
and deserving Of much sympathy because
Of the untoward political circumstances
which seem to overshadow him 30 early
III his public career. Tom is universally
popular, is genial, active, rising young
American, but in political sense Tom
must never expect to hold any office
whatever until he cuts loose from that
decidedly pcrversc and niscllievons old
fossilized organization known ns the
democratic party.
Mr.. Geo. W. Hall. the democratic nom-
lnce for city justice. will hardly expect
to be successful He doubtless regards
his nomination as Il solt of political Joke.
1t will serve to give him the title Of
"Judge" Hall, which will he honor
enough.
Republicans, il you vote an nnscratched
ballot, victory will be ours end lanktcn
will be q republican city.
