. Now that both parties have placed in
the field aldermanic tickets the average
man is justified in drawing conclusions
and speaking his mind. 1t is the talk OF
the town. that republican convention
held Tuesday. 1t is generally consider
ed one of the lamest efforts ever made
by a republican duly authorized con-
vention of men. In the first place. voters
wonder why the republicans named a
ticket at all. when they found how ut
terly impossible il was to arouse the
least bit of interest in or prior To the
convention. Everything points to vic
tory for the democratic ticket. The re-
publicans themselves, or the very great
majority of them, appear to be sad,
thinking. brooding over affairs or the
past few days. II is remarked on all
sides that never before in this city has
that party so plainly exposed III brow
of care and sadness that II has shown
since that memorable day when IL men
produced the play, entitled Picking the
Losers"
A superficial canvass of the city gives
the democrats an overwhelming ma
jority i'm the coming election. me

so well and favorably known as to
make victory certain, emphatic n

anywhere and they are all popular with
the masses. They are known to be true
as steel. every one OF them: they are
representative men OF this growing
thriving city. men who helped TO make
the city what II IS; men whose efforts
have placed Anaconda among the nfst
cities OF this great state; men who have
helped to make II possible Tor
others to come here inc find jobs and
homes. They are entitled 10 the sup
port OF every working man in IN city.
They were nominated by a large body
of Anaconda's leading representative
men. There were more than Is men in
convention to give h voters a ticker
and ask their support. There were IN
the democratic convention representa-
tive business men from every ward IN
the city. They were not placed IN the
sorrowful plight Of having 10 cali the
roll ~ an absent delegation. They rep
resented the people who want a nrst-
class. able board of aldermen.

THE VILLAGES FUTURE.

The annual village meeting takes
place next Wednesday and the electors
will be called upon to select officers to
control the affairs of the village for the
coming year. The commendable energy
displayed by the board of trustees and
other officers Of the past year makes
them fair critera in the selection of
climber" for the new board. The voters
could 90 farther and fare worse in their
search for succeeding board. But no
matter who is nominated, let the voters
see to it that the village does not suffer
by the selections made. There IS gen
eral awakening all about us, and Mid
dlebury can be made or married for a
year by the men who control her
officially.
A splendid start has been made in the
matter of village improvements. None
among us grudges the permanent pave.
ments, graded streets, well-bept parks
and other evidences of a progressive
community which we now possess; MOI
should we be willing to rest with these
lest we fall into a Rip Van Wrinkle sleeI
to awake and find ourselves hopelessly
behind the times when compared witt
our neighbors.
