The Borough Election.

parties have completed their borough
and ward tickets, and from now until
the 18TH inst, election day, there
will be much activity among the
local political wire-pulIers. The cleo
ton Of municipal officers is of greater
Importance to the citizens Of the
town than the selection of either
county, state or national officials.
And especially is this true in reference
to Councilmen and members of the
School Board. Great care should be
exercised by the voter in casting his
vote for candidates for these positions
of trust aud responsibility.
For this reason, we think the
nominees of the Citizen purity will
compare favorably with those Of the
opposition. Each man upon the
ticket-from the candidate for Bor-
ough Treasurer to that Of the small
est ward office-is worthy and capable
of filling the position to which they
respectively aspire, and they one and
dll htSttNt lilt confluence anu respect
of their felIow-citizeus. Nothing can
be said against their characters as
private citizens, and as public officials
they would bear the same scrutiuity.
The Citizens party presents an eX-
cellent borough ticket, in John r.
Garfield for Borough Treasurer and
Jacob Bamberger for Borough Audi
tor. This year the citizens of Shen-
andoah will, for the first time, be af-
fOrded the opportunity of selecting Il
man for the first named position, in
accordance with the law. Heretofore
the Borough Council has made the
appointment. The emul2ments OF
the Office make it one of the most
desirable within the gift of our
people. He Will receive two per cent.
of all moneys passing through his
hands, which will make his salary be
tween $1,000 and Sl4OO. At present
the Treasurer receives 5000. 90. Mr..
Garfield, the Citizens nominee, has
been a resident of the borough for
the past twenty-five years, and is one
of u most progressive and promi-
nent citizens. There is no question
as to his qualifications. He has held
many positions of trust, and is at
present manager of one of our leading
industries. He will make a strong
candidate and will receive "a large
complimentary vote from the Demo
Gratis.
The candidate for Auditor, Jacob
Bamberger, who is the retiring mem
Der of the Board, has shown himself
to be the right MAJ in the right
place, and possesses all the qualihca-
tions to fill that Office. He deserves
a reelection for faithful service and
we believe the people will freely ac-
cord him a hearty endorsement.
What is true of the borough ticket.
is equally true of the ward nominees
for Council and School Board. In the
First ward, the Gibraltar of the local
Democracy, Charles f. Smith is the
candidate for Council and Robert
Anderson for School Director. Both
are competent, and their nomination
will afford the citizens of that ward
an opportunity to rebuke the people
responsible for the tactics at the re-
cent primaries.
In che Second ward +. f. Magargle
is a candidate for reelection to Coun-
ell, and his record as Il member of
that body during the past three years
bears the closest scrutiny. He is II
large property owner and one of our
leading business men-qualitications
that fit him for the position. The
nominee for School Director, Edward
Malick, is IA young maj closely identi-
fed with the party's interests, and a
staunch supporter of the free public
schools. He is young and energetic,
and knowing the needs of the schools
has the ability to suggest n remedy
for any shortcomings that may be
discovered in the future, and with ali
he is popular.
The nominees in the Third ward
where a nomination on the Citizens
ticket is equivalent to an election-are
NO strangers TO the voters. William
Neiswenter for the one year term and
David X. James for the long term,
are at present members of that body,
and it is safe to say they will continue
to represent the people in that capac-
ity. Both take an active part in
the deliberations Of Council. For
School Directors, John II. Martin
and George Holvey will lead their
Democratic opponents by the usual
Citizens majorities. Mr.. Martin has
always been closely identified with
educational matters and his colleague
on the ticket will no doubt prove his
worth long before his term expires.
While the Fourth ward is con
sidered debatable ground, with II
slight inclination towards the De
mocracy, yet there is every reason to
believe that the Citizens candidates
will be successful. Arthur Whomsley.
the nominee for Council, is well and
favorably known, and has every
qualification as a member of the
