The MayOralty,

The Ottawa Business Mems Association, in.
Guiding in its membership all our best citi-
zeus, capitalists as well as those engaged in or
directing our leading mercantile and industrial
enterprises-have all along in their deliberations,
plans and contrivances for advancing the mate,
rial interests and growth of the city, been ham
pered in their work by the present fact of an
incompetent, inefficient and improvident city
government. As one important step towards re-.
moving that obstruction, they decided to take
steps to place of our ablest and foremost bus.
mess men at the head of the city government,
and to that end, after thorough consultation
with the "heads OF messes" of all parties, clques
amp interests, have decided to present. as their
candidate for Mayor, Edwin G. ALLEN. ESQ .
Cashier of the National City Bank.
The lame part of our city management for 10
these many years-but notably and lamentably
for the last year-and which seemed to call most
loudly for reform and for more Intelligent and
vigorous management, has been its finances; and
for such work no man from his life occupation
and training seemed to be SO entirely fitted as
Mr.. Allen. Though on the opposite side with
him in politics, we most cordially second his
| nomination, and we endorse heartily and enthu-
siastically all that the Ottawa Republican, paper
of his own party, says in his favor. We copy:
AS the Business Mems Association is made up
of men of all shades of opinion, and are banded
together for the simple purpose of promoting the
material welfare Of the city, they should have
the hearty support OF all voters who desire re
ductiOD of taxation, economy and an increase of
population and wealth, unless there are strong
objections to the candidate. And In this respect
we think Mr.. Allen will be found invulnerable
He is an old citizen; he is a good inancier; he
| is fully cOnversant with the embarrassments and
needs of the city government; he has influence
at home and abroad he is a man of integrity; he
| is methodical in his habits, and will conduct mu.
nicipal affairs in accordance with business prin-
ciples and rules; he is affable and man of the
people; he believes that ordinances are for the
good Of the community and should be enforced
without fear or partially; he is not an extremist
he has no axes to grind or services to reward; he
does not seek the Office, but the Office seeks him
he is qualified and will make a conservative, pru
dent and efficient mayor, just such an one as the
city needs at this tme-a need more urgent, IL is
| generally believed, than at any other period OF
her existence. With Mr. Allen as mayor and a
council composed Of prudent thoughtful men,
who have at heart the good of all, the credit of
the municipality will be advanced good govern
ment maintained, harmony restored and for
ward step taken in the direction, VI a more en-
| lightened and ben"'ir,'nt policy.
