they have reflected credit upon the mu-
inequalities they have served as well as
upon themselves.
These city and home officers are of
Importance to the people and the tax
payers generally than county and State
officers are. The Mayor of the city,
the members of Select and Common
Councils, and School Controller, ill places
and direct matters that concern us more
closely and have more influence on our
prosperity and comfort as individuals or
citizens, than the actions of a Congress
man or Governor. Therefore it is good
sense and judgment to elect men who
will administer the law fairly and justly,
without regard to position or place, and
in the interests of all the people.
We believe the Democratic nominees
are so situated that they will be more able
to do the most good 10 the greatest num-
Der. That in the administration of the
new city government they will be able to
act impartially to all interests, and that all
portions of the new city will be treated
with the consideration and attention they
are justly entitled to,
The candidates are for Mayor w. Horace
Rose Treasurer, George G. Miller; Con-
troller, John Dowling Assessors Joseph
Kuntz, GOttleib Bantly, John OToole,
have been nominated in accordance with
Democratic rules, and are worthy to, and
no doubt will, receive every Democratic
vote.
This election is of more than ordinary
importance, and on its results will depend
very largely the speedy success of the
new city. The Democracy have presented
candidates who are competent to perform
all the duties of their respective positions
with credit to the city. They should be
elected, and if such shall be the result the
new city will be inaugurated under the
most favorable auspices.

OUR CITY TICKET.

The Democratic City Ticket is worthy
the support of every good citizen. The
nominees are all well-known in this COM
munlty and their ability and fitness to fill
the various offices for which they have
been named will not be questioned. So
far as ability to properly administer the
affairs of the new city is concerned there
can be no comparison made with the
Republican, ticket but what will be to
the advantage and credit of the Demo
cratic candidates, Nearly all the NOM
inees have had considerable experience in
municipal matters, and in the positions of
trust and importance they have filled, they
have acted with such marked ability that

For County Treasurer.

1t will be noticed elsewhere that Dir.
G. J. Mayer to-day announces himself as
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for County Treasurer. Mr.. Mayer
has long been recognized as an active and
energetic member of the party, having
taken quite a prominent part for many
years in the political campaigns in this
county. On several occasions he has been
requested to be a candidate of the party,
but has refused to ask for an office, pre-
ferIing to help elect those who have been
nominated. In 1886 he was made Chair
man of the County Committee, and
proved himself to be the right man in the
right place, as his able direction of that
campaign resulted in the elec ton Of the
whole ticket by large majority. He
filed several offices of trust and import
ance to the entire satisfaction of those in
terested, and in every position he has oc-
cupied he has shown that he possesses
ability and qualifications of high order.
Mr.. Mayer was born and raised in Johns
town. and has hosts of friends in this city
and in all parts of the county. He would
make strong candidate, and the Repub-
licars would have difficulty in nominating
any one near as popular with the people.
Ii nominated he would be elected by a
large majority.

A BIG PANTHER HUNT,
All the Farmers Turned Out to vanquish
the Common Enemy,

An exciting panther hunt took place in
Adams county, Illinois, on Saturday,
which resulted in killing aferocious beast
that has terrorized the people of that
county all winter. The animal was heard
from first in the east portion of Adam
county, where it was killing live stock.
An old man named Hill says he met it in
lonely road one night, but the beast
only gave scream and disappeared.
A short time later Daniel Voorhees,
came to Quincy and said that early one
morning he was attacked in his barn by
huge wild animal, but after a short
struggle the beast fed into neighboring
strip of timber. Voorhees, received sever
al ugly scratches. The neigborhood be-
came alarmed, and many people refused
to leave their homes after night fearing
an attack.
Reports then came from other farmers
that cows, calves, and even horses were
being killed and their bodies mangled by
some unknown animal, and band OF
armed men hunted for two days recently
ia hopes of killing the animal, but moi
until Saturday was this accomplished.
The big panther, for such it proved TO be,
was tracked by dogs into dense thicket
in the Bear Creek country, and it fought
with desperation when closely pressed
and one or two of the dogs were killed
A volley from the rifles soon laid the bis
cat dead.
