THREE EXCELLENT MEN.


The selection of candidate for the
State Senate must be made by September
o. It is important that an able man
shall be selected for, besides the care
which should always be exercised in
choosing legislative members, the next
session Of the Legislature viii have TO
consider questions Of unusual import
ance
II Is requisite that the member from
this city should be a man of afIairs-say
a business man-interested, and, IL pos
sible, a respectable participator, in the
commercial activity which gives this city
it's importance and engage the time and
efforts Of the people in the great struggle
to prosper and be happy
There Is no necessity TO enumerato the
questions which will likely engage the
attention Of the next Legislature. The
subjects ON which any legislative body
may make laws for the guidance of the
people are always important It is al
most inconceivable that any legislation
could be made which is not fraught with
good or i'll for community of
busy people, 1t is eqnally incon.
ceivable that any worthy citizen could
suggest a candidate for such a position
who does not possess the qualities re.
quisite TO consider these questions
calmly, intelligently, unselfshly, and the
courage to act upon them according to
his convictions, and for the welfare of
the people at large.
Three such men have been suggested
who will, we believe, meet the demands
Of the occasion and Of the position. They
are Hon. John c. Farra, General J. Park
Postles and Allan Spealman.
Mr.. Speakman is merchant. He is
man of intelligence, industry and integ-
rity, who has conducted successful
business here for many years, and during
that time, he has become known to the
people as a man Of staunch character and
Of the best impulses; while he, in turn.
has become part of many of the indus.
trial and charitable enterprises which
distinguish our city. He is familiar with
all classes of people, and in sympathy
with all worthy enterprises of the city.
General postles is man of great
activity and energy Tie rs courageous
and full Of all that inirepid.ty of char
acter ana alertness Of action which dis
tinguish man Of intelligence. ability
and selfreliance, who carries strong
mind in strong body General postles

touch with all enterprises which benefit
and adorn the city. He knows the
questions Of the day and is familiar with.
and as deeply interested in. the prosperity

Mr. Farra became favorably known TO
the community as the admirable and
amiable president of the City Council
He exhibited in that position rare intel
ligence, great forbearance, unimpeach.

gratifying to his personal friends as it
was useful to the city. He is familiar
with, and thoroughly identified with, all
public and private movements likely to
be of any benefit or any detriment to the
public. He Is man Of position, char
acter and strong convictions, who may
be relied upon with absolute confidence
to do what he conceives to be right,
though he may not make much fuss
about It.
These are three competent, reliable,
| honorable men, any one Of whom is suit.
able In character, attainments, courage,
health and interest in the welfare Of the
people to represent this community in
the body which will be called upon tc
pass laws TO the benefit OF the detriment
