SlR:-We read with pleasure you,
stalwart utterances this morning regard
ing the alleged independent" ticket 10,
the coming city election.
We believe that the Republicans will
not be hoodwinked into supporting any
such movement. II the. Democratic
voters are disgusted with the present
city government, they know the remedy
and how to apply it.
The independent ticket, il made up
will be headed by an independent Dem.
ocrat, and the body ard tail OF the ticket
will;b likewise. On all party questions
however they will be there at roll call,
ready to slash Republicans at the nod OF
their ward politicians.
An independent Republican Of course
would not be acceptable to the Demo.
cratic wire-pullers who are back of this
movement. Republican in any shape
or form would be thorn in their flesh,
although there are many capable and
deserving Republicans in this city that
the party lash would not swerve from
right and duty. 5fslg
The present condition OF matters in
this city is due solely 10 Democratic
mismanagement, and es such, should be
shouldered by them. II we are to have
good, clean city government. good,
clean nominations by the Republicans
and their election by the citizens will
accomplish it, and We have faith that the
ticket will be an scce ptable one.
No 'uilk and water movement ever
did ae>N e:plish very much unless old
parties lomed in it, but to put up a
Democratic ticket under the guise Of IN
independent movement will not mis.
lead people who read, and especially
Republicans. 4 STIAIaurour.

way Of large salaries.
while We found much friction in the
local committee, and many things tend

OF this friction had been removed and

that the Pacific Null has facilities fol

that stock but OF all the other stocks
which were largely held by the parties
who tried TO support Pacific Mail. To
some extent personal feelings on the

also probably require tho retirement Of
Mr.. Adams from the Presidency OF the
Union Pacific, because his policy for
several years has made him unpopular
with the other roads west OF Chicago,
and in order to maintain harmony, it
will probably be necessary to have
President for tho Union Pacific who will
be better liked by the officers OF other

regard to the Pacific Mail and Union Pa.
citic settled, it may be expected that the
stock market may be relieved from bear
