NO MERCENARY INFLUENCE.

To the Editor Of the Globe.

A statement has been made in the Ga
Zette, of this city, since our late city
election, to the effect that prominent
citizen and officeholder had spent $500
to defeat Mr.. Conrad, Independent can
didate for alderman in the Third ward.
AS | was the regular nominee OF the
Democratic party of that ward at the
election referred to. deem it my duty
toward the gentleman implied IN this
statement and also to myself, to say
that the statement is utterly false and
without an atom of foundation IN fact.
No man engaged in that canvass with
either my knowledge or consent, spent
$500 or s. to secure my election. am
laboring man and not politician, and
not only refused to spend money myself
to secure the position to which
was nominated, but urged my friends
not to do so. In municipal AFFAIRS
especially no mercenary influence
should be brought to bear to control the
will of the voter, and | was determined
to leave that course entirely to my OPP
ponent. Ii corrupt influences were en-
ployed they were not directed my way.
The gentleman elected will doubtless
DIOfc d tilN u
alderman, and am not willing to be-
iieye that he could have been the au-
thority for the grossly untruthful state
ment referred to. SWAN KRANZ.
