We announce this morning the name
of Mr.. Leander AXlcy, an old citizen of
Cairo and worthy one, as candidate for
the Office Of city clerk, Anything that we
might say in his favor would be superilous,
for in his various positions in life he has
always merited the respect Of the people Of
Cairo and, no doubt, has received it, That
he would be as efficient an officer IN the
employ Of the city as any Of those that
have so presented themselves to the voters,
or that are likely vet to do so, will be de-
MED by none. To those who tear that he
will not ''stck to the track" until the race
is run, he has authorized us to say that
their fears are groundless-that he will not
withdraw under any circumstances.
