VILLAGE Election.


| Next Tuesday the annual village
election takes place, for the purpose
OF electing officers for the ensuing
year, viz: a president, four council
lors. two Justices. u treasurer and An
assessor. For the respective positions
there are many good men and true
who are eminently qualified to I'LL the
isame, but only six CAN be honored by
the choice OF the people to be their
servants during the coming year. The
caucus is close at hand and it Is NUT
that we should consider the fitness
of the few whose names are mention
ed in connection with the different
nominations to be made this evening.
In this election it is most important
TO cons der the financial condition OF
the village, for indeed. we must have
men on The council, as during the
past year, who will manage the public
affairs with the greatest possible
economy; and at the same time not
neglect To provide for our common
benefit such things rs may be from
time actual necessities. We want
men who will not extravagantly sx-
pend or misuppropriate the public
funds, hut will see that every penny
Is put where it belongs. And last,
but not least, we want a council. every
member Of which has mud of his
own and the manhood to exercise his
| own discretion independently of the
action or opinions of others-men
who are not always ''on the fence,
when the welfare of the public IS at
stake.
To head council composed of such
il body of IN n We hear the names OF
none seriously mentioned except that
of our present mayor, who has served
in that position faithfully and fully
satisfactory to all concerned. Mr..
Newell certainly deserves re-elec-
ton, which honor, we doubt hot. will
be accorded hun. So far We have
heard of no opposition To him.
MIRA. Dekay. Of the present coun-
ell, will be reelected.
Councillor Brown declines re-elec-
ton, but it is to be hoped that the SEN
timents of the caucus may prevail
