REFORM SAMPLE.

One OF the sample reforms" of the
present and last city administrations
vas the increasing of the city salary
list from $1,000 per year, at which it
stood for many years under Democratic
control, to 81, 800.
Reforms" which result in increased
cost to the people is hardly the sort
they wish.
Economy and a decrease in taxation,
be it even so small, would be much
more popular.

the success of the ring slate in the hope
of getting a city job are simply badly
mistaken.
They are being "jollied" until after
the polls close, when they will dis
cover that circumstances are such that
they cannot possibly be helped.
All the present ofice-holders and en-
ployes intend to hold on if the ring
wins, and there will be no room for
new men.
