business sense, his standing In the
community through q long career, fit
him in an uncommon degree to fill the
position OF chief magistrate OF the city.

shown much ability. and has iudicious-
" tempered Justice with mercy. He
has, in short, made a model mayor, aud
should be reelected.

executive ability which won the admira.
ton OF all who came in contact with
him. Tho Register recently attacked
