grade. On Wednesday last, some
twenty eight were confirmed, after pro-
baton from January LIST, 1881. We are

that end--the dispensation of the Word,

would have made an excellent Mayor.
Try again, Davis, and we believe you
will win.
Mr.. Lang was the regular Republican
nominee for Treasurer, and ran like a
race horse. He is an old and successful
business man, and will discharge his du-
ties efficiently.
The contest for Recorder was a TRAN
gular fight, and the fact that Mr.. Tor

the Republican vote in the Third and
Fourth Wards, left a comparatively easy
victory for Mr.. Hodapp, the Democrat.
