The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1889-04-13

OF course the office of mayor is the most
important just at this time. Ottawa is in
the midst of a period of growth that makes
1t especially desirable to have mayor of
good business sense. 1t is undeniable that
many towns like Ottawa are over burdened
with taxes and chimerical schemes. The
remark is frequently made that the taxes
of city like Chicago are driving the fac
tories to the country towns. Ii Is not true,
however; because, as rule, the taxes OF
country towns are considerably higher
than in Chicago, both In the actual rate
levied and In actual money paid In proper
ton to value; yet there is no valid excuse
for this state of things. No one can accuse
Mr.. Sherwood of niggardliness, yet we
are confident that with f. A. Sherwood as
mayor an effort will be made to keep taxes
as low as is consistent with good govern
ment and the maintenance of good streets
and good fire department, and the like.
Mr.. Sherwood Is progressive man. He
has faith In the future of Ottawa. He has
put his money into the improvement of
Ottawa real estate in places and at times
when the majority of men considered him
as little less than crazy, and In this way has
built up tumble down rookeries and empty
spaces that were eye'sores, and made busy
business places of them. He has, further,
provided the means for building more
than one architectural ornament to the
city which no other capitalist In the city

The aldermanic candidates named by
the ward caucuses of both parties are as
follows, the Indicating candidates for re-
election.

In supporting the ticket nominated by
the democrats on Thursday night, as
named above, the FREE TRADER does so,
not simply because the men named are
democrats, but because the ticket is one
deserving of the support, not only of dem
oCrats, but of the voters of the city gener
ally 1t is hard to see how better ticket
could have been named by any party con-
vention, or how better ticket could have
been presented in a please"
race for these offices. II is made up of
clean men In every respect honest men,
capable men, and men who individually
have personal interest In the city's
growth and welfare. Mr.. Sherwood is, by
considerable, the heaviest tax payer Ia the
city; owns more improved real estate than
any man in the city, and has greater
pecuniary interest in good government,
than any man in Ottawa. Mr.. Leahy is in
active business with his father; Mr.. Trab-
ing is similarly situated, and Mr.. Madden
is young attorney just entering upon the
practice of the law,--one of the best read
and prepared young attorneys of the La
Sale county bar. All are men of good
business sense, excellent habits, and ster-
ling honesty. In the name of all that is
reasonable, what more can be demanded of
candidates for office? No one is more
honest than an honest man. When a man
Is capable TO filling the Office for which he
is named, the superlative degree of capa-
bllity is no better; and it never was con-
by the law making power that
only banking house employe should be
elected as city treasurer, though Ottawa
would seem to have pe1ecb0nt for bankers
for its mayors.

The truest test of superiority is the

hose manufactured We also offer more
than half a dozen qualities of children's
hose, which for sake of equity are marked
at graded prices; that is, each pair from
) inches up selling for two cents more
than the size smaller. These are in
plain, ribbed and drop stitched styles,
and each and every grade represents all
that the particular price can possibly
procure. As absolutely fast black hose
are boon to the purchaser, we conf

for these special qualities.
