Thhe election for members for the
Board OF Education to hll tito places OF
those whom terms ex xpirc, will take place
next Saturday, aud although the election
10 90 close, added to tue fact that this
body disburses over Sl2n. 900 annually oil
the peoples money, thus far very little
attention has heou given to the matter.
This may, however, be caused BY the
fact that the present board has proved
one Of the best the city has had for years
and that all the retiriug members are
willing to serve another term, If their
constituents desire. Tho position Is a
verp important and responsible one, as
the members not only have control OF
this larse sum OF money, but also super
intend the education Of thousands of
children, consequently mon should be
selected for their ability, without regard
to politics.
jesse X. BaylIs, of the FIRST ward, has
proved an excellent member and as he
Is candidate for re election tor the two
years term, should be returned without
opposition.
Tho came can be said Of John Pyle,
also from the First ward, who is candi-
date for the one-ycar term. Myer Hayes
OF the Second ward aud Peyfon g. West
Of the Third bave no opposition, and
there 10 no doubt but they will bs return
cd. John Il. Hartman, who was elected
from the Fourth ward to iill the unex-
pired term of James +. Magee, has con-
sented TO be . candidate for reelection,
and as he has made . very efficient mem
ber there 10 no doubt but he will be re.
turned without opposition. John II.
Danbv Of the Filth ward has provol a
very acceptable member, aud although 1t
Is said that be will be opposed br
stephen d. Duncan, there is every reason
to believe that be will be 70 elected.
There 10 no doubt about the return OF
Samuel II. Baynard from the Sixth ward.
as be has been ono of the most active
members Of the board. DIR. John Palmer
oI the Seventh ward will also be return
ed, and as the veteran Abner p. Bailey
has conss nted to be candidate for re
election from the Eighth ward, 1t 10
scarcely probable that he will have any
opposition, but even II he should it will
not prt vent his re- election.
David II. Smith, of the Ninth ward, Is
another member whose re election is u
certa,uiy, rs the people oi that ward feel
turf their iDteres,s are safe In h!s hauds.
John j. Cassidy is the retiring member
from the Tenth ward, AMI 1t Ia said that
he will be oppoAsd by William Kyne,
who at one time represented tho FIRST
watd In tho board, but as Mr.. Cassidy
has proved very acceptable member
the chances are in iay0r OF his re-eler-
ton. Thus lar there 10 no opposition to
Samuel N. Trump, OF the Eleventh
ward, or Thomas u. Harris, OF The
I've ith, and 1t would be difficult mat
ter to lind candidates that will beat them,
se they have each been faithful in tae
discharge OF their duties.
The polls will open abont IL O'clock
noon aud close At . o'clock p. m. TIE
