WARD -FOUR.

Favors Mayor Mitchell's denomination.
To the Editor of the Press.
The Republic ans of Deering are now
canvassing the field for the best man to
place in nomination for Mayor, one to
lead is to victory in the coming oam-
paign and to transact our business in a
business like manner after election. l
do not wish to convey the idea TINT good
men, capable of filing this pc sition, are
scarce in our city, because they are not.
In fact the Republican party of Deering
is made up of capable men-men who
are worthy and senpable Of filing any
position within the gift of our common
wealth. However, we must insert in
this word best, considerable elasticity
because we must view this candidate
from different standpoints. One may be
amply competent and capable of filing
this position but cannot afford sufficient
time ow ing to the small salary attached.
Another may be competent and owing to
stress Of other business of personal
nature, be obliged to eglect the city q
business. We cannot afford to put a man
in this position who Will lot devote the
necessary time and attention to transact
the city's. business. to the satisfaction of
the public. We want man who can be
ound when wanted, and not away con-
fined to his own business in Portland OF
surrounding towns. After stretching
this word bsst as much rs you like,
where is there better man than the one
who occupies the Mayors chair at the
present time? He has been faithful, hay
ing aeyGled much time TO the service and
has nut been absent from single meet
ing Of the city government during the
past year. He is caps BILE and ble to I'LL
the position ard while we do not claim
perfection for him, still We do consider
him as near that as any man yet pamed
for the position. We undertand he is not
an active candidate, but there is q strong
movement en- foot to induce him to be-
come such and TO again accept the nomi-
nation. Taking into consideration his
large number OF friends and admirers
within our city, tie writer has no doubt
but both the nomination and election
would fall his way If be would allow his
name tn be used.
Consider this question, gentlemen,
and when you make up your list OF avail
able candidates be sure and do not over
look that Of Hon. W. W. Mitchell. The
caucuses are close at hand aud 1t is time
to think this matter over.
