Council In the Eighth Ward.

For the REPUBLICAN,.
MESSRS. EDITORS SIT would be
rather premature to canvass for can
didate for the City Council from the
Eighth ward were it not that the can
vass has already been carried on with
considerable activity, and several gen.
tlemen have been named as available
candidates. 1t seems % me that If the
present incumbent, Mr.. Grubb, whose
term will expire June LIST, is willing to
allow the use Of his name for a second
term that it would be useless to look
farther for candidate. He mas GER
tainly been an intelligent, diligent and
faithful member of Council, and has
done as much for his ward as any other
man could possibly have done. ] am
informed that Mr. Grub is willing to
again allow the use of bis name This
being 50, then why should the Eighth
ward looK farther? Having served two
year., he has that needed experience
that would take new member the half
Of his term to acquire. Without saying
a word derogatory to any other candi-
date named, my advice to the Repub.
Leans of the Eighth ward would be to
stick to the Old, true and tried candi-
date an the hest thing that can be done
under the circumstances.
No CHANGE.
