Daily Republican., 1884-06-04
Vote for Eastburn.
For the REPUBLICAN.

Citizens of the Second ward, look
well TO your own interest, as we'll as t,
the general interest of this city, before
you cast your vote on Saturday mex,
for President, Treasurer and members
of the City Council. For the first time
the citizens of this wa.d have had a
member Of Council to represent them on
the east side (over Third street bridge)
in the person Of Amos A. Eastburn, W ho
is now a candidate for reelection. Up
to the time Mr.. Eastburn became a
member of Council, two years ago, but
little if any regard (for years) had been
paid to the honest claims and demands
for improvements in that section of
the ward lying east of the Christiana
river.
Since Mr.. Eastburn has been a mem
Der therefrom, the long asked for, and
oft refused petition for extension of
water pipes across the Christiana river
has been granted, and full supply of
Brandywine water has been given them
for drinking purposes, as we'll as for
use In case of Contlagrations. All this
was done at very small cost to the
city. Streets have been extended, gra-
ded, and placed in good condition for
public travel.
Building operations, which had al
most entirely, ceased on account of hav-
ing no water supply, have, since Mr.. E.
represented this ward in Council, ,receiv.
Ell new impetus, and al the present
time some twenty-five new dwellings
are in course OF erection in that l0cali-
ty. Previous to Mr.. Eastburn's elec.
ton (two years ago., this section of the
Second ward had no one to represent
their interest in Council, ,asthe Democrat
ic party always elected both of the MEM
bers from said ward, from the thickly
settled and built up section west of
the Christiana river. And at the pres
sent time they have entirely ignored
the claims OF a candidate from the east.
ern section of the ward. Mr.. Taylor,
the holding over Democratic member,
Can employee of the Pennsy vania Rail-
road Company, resides in the west
section of the ward and Mr.. Brison, the
present Democratic nominee against
Mr.. Eastburn (who is also an employee
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany), is also resident of the west sec.
ton.
You will therefore perceive that the
Democratic party are again determined
that The eastern section of the ward
shall not (with its large population of
working men) have represen tation In
the City Council. Is this Democracy q
If 30, the sooner it is squelched out the
better, and | very much mistake the
sentiment of my fellow Democratic
property holders and tax payers, over
Third street bridge, if they do not turn
out en.masse and re.elect Amos A
Eastbnrn to the City Council, by a
largely increased majority, on Satur-
day next. Mr.. Eastburn resides in this
section he knows our wants and
resp cts our peti ions he is affabe AMI
courteous to all who come in contact
with him, and the hum blest citizen,
white or black, can approach him and
receive patient hearing, aud kind
and courteous treatment. AS d member
of Council, Mr.. Eastburn has shown
himself to be worthy public servant.
He is not controlled and biased in his
actions as an employee of any of the
large foreign corporations, or otherwise. |
He is an uncompromising opponent of
the infamous Water Commission bill,
which, if the Democratic party succeeds |
on Saturday next, will before forty.
eight hours thereafter, place its framer,
instigator and originator, Boss"
Mclntire, In control of the Water De-
partment with large salary for him
self, as well as for host of new Off.
GERS, ministers and servants, as this In
famous bill terms them, as well as
pay him a full years back pay for SER
vices he has never rendered.
Fellow Democrats, if you are opposed

creased for the special benefit of Boss
Mclntire, ex-liospital Superintendent
Lee, and Lost of other broken-down
political huukers, who pay no property
axes of their own, vote for Amos A.
