Some days ago this correspondent incl
dentally learned from several parties,
among them leading merchant, that
those who opposed revising the corpora
ton were casting about for q good man
to run for mayor who, in case of election.
would decline to qualify, thus hoping to
defeat the movement, and that Mr.. ]
R Howard, an estimable citizen, had
been settled upon. The substance of
this statement was communicated TO THE
GAZETTE, intended as entirely compli-
mentary to Mr.. Howard. The important
fact may now be announced that Mr.. ].
r. Howard was not a candidate for
mayor, neither was he opposed to "the
graded school. - The officials elected
are prominent and highly esteemed cit
zens, and it is expected that they will
give Crockett wise and conservative
of public affairs.
