The PEOPLE HAvNT FORGOTTEN
Taxpayer" in the Vigilance Committee
organ at the last moment attempts to
throw all the blame of Corporation
Working upon the Republican party and
the Republican members of Council, and
never mentions an action of the Demo-
Gratis. The people havn't forgotten tina.
last year they were imposed upon by a
public meeting in which the Democratic
leaders shouted we've got them, &c.,
for the sake of getting control. They
have not forgotten the pledges made to
the people and broken with the Demo-
cratic leaders staring them in the face on
one side and railroad bosses on the other.
This year they are pursuing still hunt
with the same object in view,-CoNTRoL,
with some of the same men to the
front to the exclusion of others who
didnt suit them or whom they couldn' t
use. This is no Republican Council;
every tub stands on it's own bottom; and
this is not no Republican fight, but it is
the peoples issue. Then let "Taxpayer"
stop throwing dirt in the people, eyes
and tell us who spent about $500 dig
ging down in the first ward, and who
laid expensive drainage along Yelling
er's lot in the Fourth; most all the pipe
on Liberty street are run in the Fourth
ward. As to carts, &C., Republican
who had good teams could not get them
used. The reports handed in Thursday
night at Council show several hundred
dollars less spent on streets this year than
previous years, when there was little
work to show for it. Voters, look at this
matter in fair light. Elect men on
their merits and they will serve you and
not the party that elected them.

Mr.. ID. III. Dodd was elected Sup
erintendent of Schools by a crafty
ing majority,-encouraging to the
young man and a proper recognition
of his energy and attention to the
duties of the office. Mr.. Dodd had
many Republican friends who work
ed and voted for him, and if he can
not return the favor politically, he
at least will generously appreciate
their liberality. The election was
not made political issue, the result
depending more upon Mr.. Dodd's
efficiency in Office, and clever work
in interesting the public in his cause,
than upon political preferences on
either side.

And if it prove to be a Martins
