should be made, and Mr.. Wells continu ed.

this convention, has in addition thereto by
the power conferred upon him under the
laws absolute supervision over every sub

people of this municipality.
HE can see to IL that the duties which

platform placed ia his hands, and particu-
larry at this time, requires most intelli-
gent idea of the situation, as we'll as a

Experience teaches us all, and Mr.. Ellert
is man who not only has such experience,
but has by his record in public life shown
that his ideas blend with those which are
enter talned by us all, whose every act has
