More Candidates.

The list of candidates for town
trustee is increasing, and good men
are consenting to serve. This is a.
it should be. No man should be
a Trustee who has no interest in tn,
taxables OF the town, or whom the
people would be ashamed to en-
dorse as a truly representative CHI
zen.
For Treasurer Mr.. Soliga, the
tned and faithful, is announced.
Mr.. Soliga has been treasurer for IL
years, ard not a dollar of the pub
lie money has been unaccounted
for by him. This is a record of
which any one might be proud, and
which is seldom equaled in a public
officer. Mr.. Soliga is the right
man in the right place.
For Trustee of the 1st ward Mr..
John II. Gerber has entered the
race. He has the qualifications to
make a good rustee, being affable
and gentlemanly in his conduct,
sober and industrious, and a consid-
cradle taxpayer. He is a mechan-
ic and has worked at the desk fac
tory steadily for several years, and
is honorable in his dealings with
every one.
Mr.. Henry Pau is also announc-
ed for Trustee of the lst ward. He
served the town two terms as trus-
tee and it was under his directions
that the water-works and electric
lights were put in He is the large
handler Of poultry, ! utter and eggs,
on Mill street, and has shown that
he is a competent business man.
lie owns considerable real estate,
also, and should therefore be inter-
ested in getting full value for taxes
expended.
Mr.. NICHOLAS MELCHoIR, the
proprietor of the north Jasper brick
yards, is a candidate for Trustee of
the second ward. He is an enter
prising, public spirited man, a large
taxpayer, and a better man for the
place could not be chosen. The
COURIER is not informed Of any OPP
ponent.
For Trustee of the 18th ward Mr..
Andrew Schiller is announced. Mr..
$. is a native of this township, and
one Of the Oldest business men IN it.
having been a resident of Jasper for
20 years, and being all of that time,
until the burning of the Union Mills
two years ago. engaged as a flour
miller-iirst as n Of the proprie-
tors of the mill, and then as a man
ager of inside work. For ~several
months he has been the Jasper
agent OF the Ireland Mills of Andy
Fritch. If nominated he would
make a careful Trustee, who would
avoid squandering the public mon
ev. knowingly.
Mr.. Wm. II. Flick is also a candi-
date for the nomination in the 4th
ward. He served two terms as
Trustee, and would be familiar with
the place. He owns aneat residence
on Newton street, and says he don't
like to pay az much in town taxes a.
the rent Of a house would be. He
is an industrious blacksmith in the
George z. Wagner extensive manu-
factory, and is a clever man.
