BEFORE the next issue of the PRESS,
Benjamin Harrison will have been
sworn into Office as President OF the
United States, ,and President Cleveland
ouce more have assumed the position
and duties of private citizen.
The outgoing administration has
been in ali respects the ablest, most
business like and upright one that the
country hiss seen for many years, and
if Harrison will accomplish as much
during his term toward purifying the
public service, securing 10 the people
their just rights, and elevating politics
to the exalted position they should DC.
cupy In the naind of every true AL ar
lean patriot. the people, irrespective OF
party, will say well done" Grover
Cleveland's course during his admin
istraIion has been that of conscien
tious servant of the people, and We
| find him critically examining. every
measure presented for his approval
and possessed of that sublime courage
and principle that dared to interpose q
veto on every bill which he deemed
unjust or based on fraud, or inimica
to The best interests of the people
With such a record the Democracy car
patiently aoide the four years interva
during which the monied power will
run things to suit itself, knowing tina
in 1892 the grand old Democratic party
will again be called to the charge o
the nations affairs.

very pleasant. the sun shining bright,

have about two blocks TO go to our
meals, and yesterday we both frozs our
ears. There have been no winds TO
speak of thus far, but we have been
unable to start the ice on the windows
enough to see out today. Sleighing is
very good. but too cold TO enjoy it.
On going to our rooms Sunday morn
ing we found quite surprise awaiting
us-a center table filed With fine prt j.

II on. d. C. Cool nm 3 N Throws Light
ON the Agitetcd Question of the
City-S Purchase of the Electric
Light Plant.
Edi-o- Democratic Press:
GIsNTI..,MEN:-I see by your recent is
sues that the question of the purchase of
the present electric light plant by this cor
poration or The purchase of new one is
agitated and that the sentiment of the peo-
pie may be ascertained upon this subject at
the coming spring election by popular vote.
Being interested in the general prosperity
of our beautiful little city and having no
personal interest directly or indirectly
either in the Ravenna Gas Company or
Electric Light Company, therefore what
have to say upon this matter is attributable
solely to what believe to be the best pol
icy for our citizens as a whole. l hold it to
he business axiom that no municipality
should embark in any enterprise that can
be conducted equally well by the private
capital of her citizens. although it might be
in part or in whole for public use. 1t is
argued that the municipality can purchase
and operate an electric light plant with less
expense to the corporation than they would
be compelled to pay any company or indi-
viduals. l think this is grievous mistake.
1t will not be denied that an individual or
company of individuals will manage their
concerns with greater prudence and econ
omv than the same business bv a municipal
cornoration And If therefore follows that
tba authorities of the municipality ought to
and would be able to light their streets for
as little money or less, through individual
enterprise than they could do it themselves.
