Pride goeth before fall Arrogant as- srmptions and vain-glorious boastings are not good qualifications for office.
 In Henry Gray's card of yesterday he asserts that all concede him to be a winner Ask the first ten men you meet who they are for for treasurer, and see if he does not show a woeful lack of information and desperate recklessness. He endeavors by this boosting to draw attention from the real issue in his candidacy, viz: the personal profit he hopes to make out of your taxes through his bank.
 Are you that easily "bamboozled?"
 He also claims credit for the rea-iction of street tax. Why did he wait until he got to be a candidate to vote for a reduc- tion in street tax? He has been an alder man several years. If he is anxious to serve you as lawmaker, why is heCnot running for the legislature? The answer is plain-the opportunities for -1aking money are not as great.
