there are two tones to the voices thus
directed toward Washington, somewhat
discordant when brought together, they

TUESDAYS ELECTION

w. L. Aster Withdraws and the Alnm-
nj Makes DR.. Carter Its Candidate
for the school Board.-.Capt. Dur
ham and the Others.
Mr.. w. L. Aster has Withdrawn the
use of his name in connection with the
selection of members of the board OF
education, and the alumni, whose candi-
date he was, is now centering its hopes
on DR.. Carter. who, with Mr.. Aster. has
been the choice of the association from
the first. Capt. Durham is continually
gaining strength as a candidate. and his
| election as we'll as that of DR.. Carter for
the long term,is now practically assured.
But Mr.. Aster's withdrawal has
complicated the situation as to the
short term considerably, and while
Mr.. w. s. Knowlton is being strongly
urged, and would make a most excellent
member, there is q general feeling such
ticket would. to some extent, at least,
ignore the upper end of town, and this
sentiment prevailing, there is move
ment afloat to induce some democrat to
run.
The Union of this morning advances
the idea that common equity requires
that the two full terms shall be filled by
one republican and one democrat, as
when Messrs. Reimers and Durham were
elected" sentiment which we cheer
fully endorse, and the same sense of JUS
tice demands that Mr.. Yore's successor
be as he was, democrat in order that the
political equality characteristic of the
board for some time and until Mr.. Yore
resigned, be continued. Thus it is, and
without the least discourtesY to Mr..
Knowlton, that the ARGUS holds that a
democrat should be elected for the short
term.
The ARGUS would be glad to support
Mr.. Sears for the short term, but he
could not consistently run. Mr.. Edwin
Ward has been suggested and if he will
be a candidate, would be elected.
Mr.. c. j. Larkin is also being pressed
as candidate for the long term.
