may not come amiss to let the people I'M
derstand who they are going TO choose
between. and what sort of man is put
up to represent their interests in the gov>
eminent of the city. The democrats have
men placed in nomination whose piincl~
Piles are worthy. whose business capacity
is unquestioned and who could not be
improved upon. In the First ward there
is

boy, became convinced as he reached
manhood that the democratic party was
the party which had in it the true founda-
ton Of the greatest good to the greatest
number. He has adhered to this faith
ever since with one exception. When it
appeared as though the union was to be
divided, he voted with the party which he
thought would keep it united in the ma
tion, but returned to his old allegiance
when that danger was over. He has rep
resented his ward in the council three
terms, being first elected from the Third
ward in 1878 and again in 1874. He was
highly complimentary Capt. Haverstick
and many other republicans for his I'M

constituents in that body, regardless of

from the First ward in 1883 and has again
shown his ability to satisfactorily repre>
sent his ward AS a business man he
has reputation second to none, having
been in business here nearly twenty years
