BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
Meeting in the Third Ward--Campaign
Notes.


The Third Ward Better City Govern
ment club held a campaign meeting at
Hazards pavilion annex last evening.
Many prominent citizens Of the ward
were present. z. ID. MathueG. the league
nominee for councilman from the Third
ward, made his maiden speech for this
campaign; his remarks met with hearty
applause, Burr Bassell, nominee for
city engineer also made a few remarks
Other speakers We're Charles Cassat
Davis. George H. Stewart and j. NJ.
Jones Committeeman We're appointed
for the various precincts for work at
the polls on election day
Delegates from the Fourth ward will
meet at room 219 Byrne building this
evening to devise further plans for the
conduct of the better city government
campaign in tha, ward
The campaign committee of the league
has issued a bulletin reviewing the aims
and work of the organization. 1t con-
tains also the platform of the league,
information about the candidates. etc.
In regard to candidates and plan of
campaign the bulletin says in part:
THE league has not a word to say
against any of the candidates nominated
by either the Republican or Democratic
conventions. Assuming that they are
all good men the league members still
hold to the position that its own nom-
nees are entitled to the cordial support
of men of every shade of political be-
lief, because they represent a reform
movement in politics in a city which
badly needs it.
The league is making a campaign for
It's nominees in quiet manner, treating
it's opponents with all fairness and re-
spect ard it asks and expects the same
Kind of treatment from them. The
league membership includes the most
prominent Democrats, Republicans and
Populists in the city and their standing
ir their national party adds strength
to the local ticket which these gentle
men are supporting.
The league believes that the men who
pay the taxes and furnish the money to
transact the business of the city ought
at least in a small way to have voice
as to how that money shall be expended
and who shall spend it, Under the old
system of partisan city politics the few
ward managers" control affairs entire
ly and the average citizen has nothing
to say"

SOME POINTS CORRECTED.
Ashman Gives a Few Facts About His
Work in the Seventh Ward.

James Ashman, the regular Demo-
cratic nominee for councilman from the
Seventh ward, in discussing certain
statements made by Mr.. Starn, the in
dependent Silver Republican candidate,
said that If that gentleman expects the
support of the voters Of the ward, he
should at least confine his criticisms of
a rival candidate to something approach
ing the truth. The plugs have always
been placed, without delay, at every
point wherever they may be needed or
even requested. 1t is not true that Mr..
Ashma1 has failed to give Commissioner

The STATE CANYAssING Board
The board OF State canYassers met
again in Richmond yesterday. They
agreed to award the certificates of cleo
ton to the following democratic candi-
dates for Congress W. A. Young, of
the Second; John Lamb, of the Third;
Sydney P. Epes, of the Fourth; Claude
A. Swanson, of the Fifth; Peter j..
Otey, of the sixth; James Hay. of the
Seventh, and John F. Rixey, of the
Eighth. 1t was agreed to withhold the
certificates of the First, Ninth and
Tenth until the Court of Appeals has
rendered its decision in the mandamus
proceedings of ]. Yost against the
board. While the expected decision
will not alter the final result in the
First and Ninth districts, yet it is
thought that the court might order
the board to count the votes cast in the
First District for William A. Jones and
w. A. Jones to the regular candidate
W. A. Jones. In q similar manner it
ought to be ordered by the court that
10 the Tenth district the votes certified
to Samuel W. Williams and Samuel
Walker as we'll as those cast for Samnel
Walker Williams. Nothing was done
by the board yesterday in regard to the
adding up of the votes cast for the
presidential candidates, because it is
thought that the case of Mr.. Charles
II. Wallace, jr., the democratic elector,
NAV also be Influenced by the decision.
