our best citizens united in voting for
the best white men on both tickets, and
their etforth were crowned with sue

which is that we could not elect a good
Board of Police without engrafting a

consider the new Beard good one,
and not damaged in the least By the alb.
sence of color. They are all intelligent
business men, thoroughly identified
with the best interests Of the town and
interested in seeing that Its affairs are
conducted on honest, economical, pro-
gressive business principles.
Out OF all the candidates in the field,
they were the choice of large majority
of the respectable, substantial citizens
of the town, and much will therefore be
