Since the ticket given in another
column was nominated an attempt was
made by Judge Goblin to get another
ticket filed by petition, but he was too
late. This ticket had W. b. Goblin for
Mayor and J. N. Kinney, DR.. Kearby
anb Geo. Hammond for trustees. Messrs.
Kearby and Kinney woro not consulted
and would not accept. An impression
prevails that the movement was only to
give some prominence to w. B. Goblin
as candidate for mayor. The incident
forcibly sn9gests that the supporters Of
the regular ticket should be out in full
force that every nominee shall be elected.

"A oonxsation was held in the Brsi-

nominate ticket for the coming muniei-
pal election. d. w. Barkley was chos-
en- chairman and Z. J. Smith secretary.
The following ticket was nominated:
For mayor. Dr.. W. J. Mcdonald; trust
ees, G. NJ. Hall, Chas Recker aud Geo.
Daring, jr. The ticket is compromise
between the prohibition and the high
license elements. Rocky Ford has quite
n respectable minority which would to.
tally abolish the saloon, but they do not
raise that issue. The ticket nominated
is equally divided ia sentiment on the
saloon question. Bnt it does stand for
the enforcement CT Law. The ticket is n
thoroughly good one. DIR. Mcdonald
has served one term ns mayor to the sat
isfaction OF the people. Meesrs. Rocker
and Hall have proved their value as
members Of the council and their election
at this time is very important. Geo.

A Very Important Election, Tuesday,
April 4th.
At the ensuing municipal election tax
payers will vote for or against the issue
of $4,000 OF Water Bonds. or this
sum, il authorized, $1,000 go to pay off
bonds for that amount issued Oct. ], 1889
and due Oct. l, 1899, bearing per cent
interest.
The remaining $4,000 to be used in
bettering the water works. it being the
opinion Of the present board Of Trustees
that with this expenditure the service
will be 80 improved that the ill.,
creased earnings OF the works will make
them nearly If not quite self.sustaining:
SO that in future it will not be necessary
to levy direct property tax for the pur-
pose of paying interest on water bonds.
The report and estimate of the Con.
sulting Engineer follows, showing the
line OF proposed Improvement.
Tax payers should give this matter
careful attention. 1t is admitted by all
that something must be done to make
the water system better. The plan pro-
posed seems to be good and entitled to
favorable consideration.
