when a man seeks to resign an office
which pays $1,000 or $4,000, to accept
one which legitimately pays only 49,
600, his action is subject to grave sus-
picion, to say the least, and use no
harsher term.
No one can assuredly object with
reason to Mr.. Thad Smith and Mr.. Joe
Cassiano supporting Mr.. Levy or any
other candidate they may see proper.
They are both honorable, high minded
citizens, incapable of personally COM
hitting q dishonest or corrupt act.
But many people will and do seriously
object to Messrs. Smith and Cassiano
assuming the sponsorship of any can
didate for q city office, especially IL
that sponsorship, as Is generally be-
lieyed, has in view the control and d.
rection Of the city government In the
event OF that candidates election. 1t Is
not the mere fact that Messrs. Smith
and Cassiano support Mr.. Levy that
objection Is urged, but 1t is their per-
nicious and domineering political Dos
sism against which such a general pro-
test among all good citizens goes forth.

URRAH!!!
TH0S, B, JOHN SON
FOR CITY TREASURER.
A few REASONS
Why You Should Vote For
Thos. B. Johnson
FOR CITY TREASURER:

I. B. Johnson as candidate for city
treasurer is not hypnotized by any
local combine, and is under no per-
sonal obligation to any corporation
syndicate.
Il. 3. Johnson as candidate for city
treasurer will not receive warrants,
due bills, time certificates, etc, that
have been paid by the city collector
as cash.
L. B. johnson as city treasurer will
pay out city money only on legally is
sued warrants, and will pay them in
order as drawn, and will hold lack
no payments when there is money in
the treasury to pay with.
I. B. Johnson as city treasurer will
not pay warrants drawn for sundry
expenses out of the sinking fund,
which sacred fund has been set aside
to pay for bonds.
L. ID JOhhSOh dS city bCuSulSl VIII
not pay warrants for sundry expenses
out of funds set apart for specific pur-
poses.
T. B. Johnson as city treasurer will
have regular days or regular office
hours at the city hall for the purpose
of attending to the city business.
7. B. johnson as city treasurer will
show no favoritism in the payments
of warrants drawn on the treasurer,
and will scrutinize carefully all war
ants for dummies, or dead men on
pay rolls.
nothing to do with the making of the
city laws, but is in favor of trimming
down the salaries of the higher Off
Gals and pay the laboring men on our
streets, not less than $1.50 a day, and
that in cash; and he also believes in
every officer or employee doing a full
days work, for full days pay.
T. B. Johnson as city treasurer is in
favor of radical retrenchment in all
the city departments, even unto cut
ting his own salary if necessary.
r. B. Johnson is in favor Of the
strict enforcement of all city con-
tracts.
T. B. Johnson, whether as candidate
or as city treasurer, will continue to
publish the Daily Light as a news
paper Of the people and will advocate
issues that he honestly believes to be
right, and will defend nothing that
he knows to be wrong.
7. 3. johnson will discuss public
questions and not private character,
but he who throws mud at our glass
house may expect brick-bats in re-
turn.
He is also liberal in his ideas, and
opposed to all sumptuary legislation.
If you think IL years long enough
for a man to suck the public tit, and
want n change vote for T. B. Johnson
for city treasurer and don't forget to
scratch the opposing candidate. He
will count the cash and ask about the
missing sinking fund.

BULL EArEN1
Sadly Lacking in Aggressive Courage Re
 garding Wheat.

New York, Sept. 3,-It was eviden from the action of to-day's wheat mar ket that the bull element is still sadly lacking in aggressive courage They had the market in their grasp this morning, but threw up their hands in the last hour despite the fact that ex- porters picked up in the neighborhood
 of sixty loads of wheat at New York
 and outports. The Chicago pool, after
 giving the market some assistance
 early in the day, nysteriously with
 drew it's support.
 December had been carried up to eSI
 when a storm of selling orders struck
 the market, bearing it down to 964s, from whence it rallied to 97 at the close. Sellers were aided by cables particularly the French markets The Liverpool decline was 1%0sa q. for the day. Foreign houses had fair orders on the buying side, but also sold rather freely around the opening. Seaboard clearances of wheat were again heavy to-day from all ports. The total this week is already a million bushels ahead Of the same period one week ago.
 Included among the shipments from New York was a steamer for France carrying 114,00O bushels. the second large shipment of the kind this year Baltimore and Newport News were among the heaviest outport shippers Taking flour as wheat total cleara ances this week have easily reached five mill lion bushels.

 not being on so large d scale. The | market throughout was stronger and the average level of prices raised fur-

 being confident and on a large scala
 The volume of transactions in tba Vanderbilt group showed a considerable falling off to-day, but retained tha sharp gains achieved yesterday and in fact closed tonight higher. Northwest sold as high as yesterdays high point but reacted. But the center of interest in the market was shifted to St. P9ul which sold during the day at 99, a net advance of 334 and which crossed Rur- lington during the day on enromous transactions.
 The rise was stimulated by rumors that the dividend rate would be in creased. Unauthorized rumors had ax- aggerated the gain to be shown bv R,r- lington's statement, and the stock fail ed to benefit very materially aItbongb an increase was hown in gross of coco 7OS and in net of $99,314.
