| Monday morn will usher IN election "Ny'
and the people of Butte will be called upon
tn ae,ect gentlemen to administer tnelr NV
~uicipal affairs for the eneuing year. %
foolinh II not criminal to say that IL makes
M difference to whom these duties are en-.
trusted. Every citizen owes IL 10 h'msen
and to his fellow citizen to unite IN selec'-
ing honest, intelligent men to guard tne III
~terests Of the community. Butte Is =
growing, prosperous city. It has need OF
| wisdom and progression in the admlnls'ra-
! ton of its affairs, and especially 80 IN the
legislative branch OF the government. Inc
gentlemen nominated by the Democratic
convention for the position OF aldermen
each and every one fill the bill. They willtake
| with them, to the discharge OF their duties
when elected, a fixed purpose to use thor
best endeavors for the good OF all. Iheir
fitness and ability is unquestioned. Ihey
may be relied upon to render a good &C
count of their stewardship, and when their
terms shall have expired they can retire
with the consciousness OF having we'll per-
formed the duty entrusted to them. All
four OF the gentlemen are well known in the
city as good and loyal citizens OF Butte.
Neither Messrs. Forbis Jahries, Owsley or
Fisher need any encomiums. Their lives
have been before the public for years, and
no one OF their enemies can or dare say a
word ipimical to them. They are above
reproach.
As for the executive and administrative
officers, Mayor Frank has served the city
during the past year,.and SO well were the
business men and leading citizens satisfied
with his business-like conduct of affairs
that they united in a request that he would
serve them for another year. This he has
consented to do alta personal sacrifice that
he would not have felt justified in making
but for the compliment conveyed in the re-
quest OF his ellow-citizens
Treasurer Russell was also complimented
by the convention with q denomination.
In his office it is difficult to please all, but
his balance sheets show that he has been
faithful and diligent in the discharge of his

his books. They are pen to all, and his
accounts will balance to a penny. Mr..
Russell will be reelected.
John J. Mediation, tht candidate for
Police Judge is a young gentleman, but an
able and experienced lawyer. A man who !
since his advent into this city has won and |
held the respect OF all with whom he has
acquainted. As an evidence OF
this it may be mentioned that during the |
past year when on two different occasions |

City Attorney, Mr.. Mediation was
chosen by the Republican Council to fill

regard in which he is held by representa-

John Jolly, who is the candidate for City
MARSHAL, can almost be said to have been
