THE DEMOCRATIC K

At the head OF the editorial page oil to-
days MINER will be found the Democratic
city ticket placed in nomination yesterday,
It is an invincible ticket. Every man ON it
will be elected, and another year of good
government will thus be assured the city.
Mayor Frank, as The MINER predicted,
was renominated by reclamation and
unanimously. There was, OF course, not a
dissenting voice. The record that Mr..
Frank has made in office has been a matter
OF commentator on the part of the heav-
lest tax-rayers of the city, without dis
~tinction of party. There has prevailed a
universal desire, not bound by
party ties, that Mr.. Frank should
be renominated. With the Democracy it
was only a question whether he would &C.
cept. His denomination was rs certain az
is his election. Mayor Frank a year ago
found the city in debt, the records in con-
fusion, the ordinances in doubt, the police
service loose and ragged, the streets in i'm
passible condition and the lives and health
of the people endangered by the want of
sewage and the filthy condition of the

official station the sound common-sense
that enabled him to achieve such -
distinguished success in his pri-
vate affairs. The result is known
to every citizen and especially to every |
taxpayer. The city is not only out of
debt. but has more than $4,000 cash in
the treasury. The records of the city have

to date-in such as to be compre-
hensible to every taxpayer, to whom they
at all times open. The ordinances
have O only been rigidly enforced, but
nave been sustained in the courts. The
police force has been recognized and uni
and discipline has been instilled
into it. The streets have been graded and
ful things have been don to make the streets
only passable but attractive. Much
needed and costly sewerage has been con.

J. R. Russell, the candidate for City .

OF John Jolly, the nominee for City
arshal, we need scarcely speak. He is too
known in this community to need any ia
or words of praise. He has nj
ed here for ten years and is known to N'
cry man in the camp. He is a blacksmith Fl
trade, an honest, brawny son OF toll, ev

III in all, the ticket is probably the best -
1t has ever been presented to the SUI VI
ges of the people by the Democratic soi
'ty OF Butte. It is a ticket that conn., n
nds respect and inspires confidence. 1t h.
resents the best elements in the COM 20

n. 1t represents law and order. It L..
lmands the votes of property-holders. 90
