used in story without its owners con-
sent.

TES years ago the editor of the Erdm.
| iller was the Democratic candidate for
district attorney TO succeed Rosenml.tr,
and the best argument for his election was
the shameful abuse OF the office by the
present Republican candidate for mayor.
f- - HY5s IN ...a
committee has tue control Of the s..k.ug
fluid, how does it explain that ia Iwo
years OF CoInc,ImAu Evans chajrmluship
Of the finance committee the fund was not
even increased by the amount Of the later
est on the bond, already in it.
DEMOCRATIC administration of the
mayors office in six years and half re-
duced the city deOS $4,000 a Repubn
can administration in four years had
increased the city debt $500 600. \ vo'e

lie for this clgy? Under Republican GOV
ernOrs no Democrat need apply aud
even Mr., Brosius, esq, was once refused
TeappointmsGC because he was suspected
Of independent !Dc!inations,
An alderman should BE- a conservatOr Of
the peace, not an aspi,ant for the p.ize
ring belt. One who administers legal
oAtLs should not swear TO incorrect bills.
A magistrate should not abet false voting.
A slcowd politician who expects rayors of
his party should not stir up facIoual
strife. Voters OF the Third ward who
think reform is necessary in the alder
manic office should vote for w. T. Wyle,
the peoples candidate.
As Mayor Mqc Gonige', administration

| BIEGHAMTON, n. Y, was long under
the control Of a conscienceless Republican
ring, but a couple of years ago the citi.
zens drove the bosses from power chose
a Democratic city government, and tht
wisdom Of the movement is shown in
reduction of the city debt sSG, 900. Sil
years aud a half of Democratic admins
tration in this city has reduced the cit,
debt 500 600 and added ells, 400 to tn
sinking fund, Keep up the good work
Vote for McMullen.
The Neo Fra, in an editorial, Feb. lG
1883, said "Experiencs has shown that tn
best care is exercised in the administrator
Of municipal affairs when the executiy
and legislative departments are in th
hands Of opposing parties, as at present
They act as Wh0lss0me cheek upon edc
other. We therefore believe that the publ
good will be best subserved by maintain
= ing this balance" The situation is exactl
the same now as then. Councils are an
will remain in Republican control. TIL
only way to subserye the public good, an
I keep wholesome check" upon counci
is to elect Democratic mayor. Vote f
: McNullen.
'ONCE upon a time, ''as the old fashion
/ cd stories begin, when Rosenmiller VIZ
'. district attorney aud some of his politic
/. friends had got into such o tight plaC
4 that there was no other means Of oscar
n for them, he took the bull by the horl
4 and boldly stated to the court that Il
n witnesses necessary TO make out tho ca
a OF tho commonwealth had dsd the juri,
diction, when in reality 1t was the defen
d ant himself who had gone west" al
20 the witnesses in tho case were sitting
O. court waiting to bs called. 1t is to |
Is feared that such tenderness of heart as I'll
b. toward law breakers, because they ha,
4 pened to be of his political faction, do
- not qualify man Tor the administrati, /,
y Of an office that the NeW Era says sho,
be conducted on business principles.
