@AA AVehA NoAf g. AhoA A.
The borough election, on Tuesday next,
is an important one to the people Of Shouau-
doah Upon the verdict of the people will
depend the character Of tho governing power
for the next three years. The contest Nill Dc
a spirited one, and if we may be allowed To-
judge from the attendance at the primaries,
the indications are that a full vote will be
polled. The leaders of both parties are active,
and are bringing to their assistance every
available means to crown their efforts with
success.
At the head Of the borough ticket, the
Citizens present. the name Of Charles H.
Hagenbuch The Office of Chief Burgess is
one of much more importance than the aver
age citizen places upon it. The Chief Exec
udve Of the borough is supposed to enforce
the ordinances adopted By the Borough
Council; see to it that the pavements and
cutters are kept in proper condition, aud
maintain a general supervision over the
town. There are many improvements in
this line needed in shenandoah, and upon
the character OF the man elected to that posi-
tiou will depend the kind of administration
the people may expect for the next three
years.
Mr. Hagenbuch has been a resident of
shenandoah for many years, and is one Of
our leading business men and public spirited
ciuzens' His career is known to all, and no
act oil ms has ever tarnished his manhood or
suiiied his name. The people may well he
proud to have him as the chief officer Of the
borough for it matters not in what position
he may be placed, nor what emergency may
arise during his administration, he will do
ms duty tathtully and with credit to the
people OF the borough. He has nothing tu
lose but everything to gain by comparison
with his opponent
An Office to be filled ON Tuesday which is OF
as much Importance, If not more so, thau
that OF Chief Burgess is the Collector OF
taxes. The Citizens party haa unanimously
nominated A. D. Gable at present Council
man from the Fourth ward. lie isuo stranger
To the people OF Shenandoah, whom he has
served well and faithful for many years in
the legislative branch Of our borough govern
s shippeu lis calling has bloughC him into close
" farm pwith the people, and he is well
lrge "pped for the Office he seeks. Energetic
and active, fearless and honest. he will give a
good account OF his stewardship. Mr. Cables
experience as a Councilman, and the knowl-
edge derived as member OF the Finance
Committee for several terms, gives him an
advantage that his opponent does not pos
sess' and which will redown to the interest Of
the property owners and others Of the
borough.
Inc nominees for Borough Justice, William
H. Shoemaker and I. I. Williams, have each
much to recommend them. They were both
Justlce Of the Peace Tor a number OF years
and held the position until they were uneere-
monlously ired out by a legal teehnicality
Inc Democratic party has apparently sane
TONED that trick upon the voters Of shenan-
doah IN the nomination Of oneot the gentle
men who prohted thereby and holds the
position to-day under the commission thus
issued II we mistake not the feeling Of our
people they will resent the act in the election
