An Independent View Of Its Issues
Philadelphia Times
Mayor MacGonigle, of Lancaster, has
served two terms with blameless record,
and public letter signed by nearly one
thousand of the voters of the city again
calls him into the field in disregard Of his
known desire to retire from the RESPONSE
BILE and rather thankless position.
Among the signers are number Of prom
inent citizens vino regard honest munich
pal administration as more important than
party, and there is every reason to believe
that Mayor MacGonigle will be again
elected by decided majority. He was
first elected over Mayor Stautler by Only
SO, but his administration was SO accept
able that he was 10 elected two years ago
by S11.
While Mayor MacGonigle is a Demo
crat, his strength before the people is
mainly in the fact that he is mayor for the
city Of Lancaster and not mayor for the
Democratic party aud the persistence OF
the Republican leaders in struggling to
got the municipality back into the
clutches Of a partisan mayor, with the
profigacy that ever attends partisan ad-
ministration, is likely to defeat them
badly now as it has defeated them in the
last two mayoralty contests. They cant
or won't learn that cities are created for
some greater and nobler purpose that to
be plundered by partisan profigates, anu
the only method of bringing them to their
senses is to defeat them. as tho people Of
Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Loui:
have defeated the leaders Of the dominant
political party.
The several Republicans who promptly
declined tho nomination Of their party fol
mayor to make contest against Mayor
MacGonigle. exhibited both prudence and
intelligent judgment, and Ex Mayo,
Stautfer, who finally accepted the candi
dacy, should have been content with the
defeat he suffered from Mayor MacGonigle
four years ago. Now Mayor MacGonigle
has proved by four years Of trial that hs
can govern Lancaster quite as we'll u
Mayor Stautfer did aud reduce the city
debt from year to yeal, while Mayor
Staufer's administration increased the
city debt nearly fifty pc: cent. in fouI
/ years. The people are now awfully giver
to the study Of figures, especially in
municipal affairs, and when one mayor
swells the debt nearly fifty per cent. anG
another reduces the debt, the general in,
clination of all honest taxpayers is to vote
; for honest and economical government
and not bother about the politics Of can
didates. They will do so in Philadelphia
Oh Tuesday week and clean boss rule ou'
Of both branches Of councils, and they
will pretty certainly do it in Lancaster by
the election Of Mayor MacGonisle.

to Kaufman that Carter had bought

Mr.. Kaufman answered that that was

Of Carter at four dollars apiece, picked
from q lot uhich Garter sud he had for the
prison, and it looked as if the prison had
been overcharged. The circumstance
