THURSDAY. MAY 10, 1901.

SEVERAL CanQlQa leS IOT tue Deh-
ocr ratio nomination Tor the city Of
fees were present last night at a
smoke err at the rooms OF the Demo-
cratic League, the silver wing OF
the party. and made addresses.
All three OF the candidates tor
Mayor were present and two of
them made speeches, while David
w. Hughes. when called on for a
speech. like eX-President Grant,
replied that he was not a speech
maker. In other words David 10
alter the votes and is making the
livelicst kind Of hustle for them.
He Is a jolly good fellow and counts
more on his pc sonal magnetism to
secure votes than on his speech
making procliyities. The Damo-
Gratis are worried since the Re-
publican nomination last Saturday
and they know they are beaten.
The Democrats have had control OF
City Council for four years and have
shown that they are incompetent
TO run the affairs of the city and
keep down the tax rate. For this
reason, if no other, property own
ers irrespective of party affiliations
should, in June, vote the Republican
ticket, and thereby give that party
a chance to 20 on record. They
can't do any worse than the Demo-
Gratis, and we think they would be
an improvement on the City Ioun-
ellis we have been having.
THE Every Evening and Evening
Journal on Tuesday published an
article which greatly reflected on
Clerk of the Peace Quig'ey in the
manner in which the panel OF jurors
was drawn tor the May term OF
court. The insinuat'on was made
that Mr.. Quigley selected the names
of the men composing the same, and
Tor that reason the Levy Court
wanted a new pace! drawn. After
this was done under the direction
and supervision of Chief Justice
Lore fault was also found with it.
Yesterday these two afternoon pa
pers made abject apologies to Mr..
Ouigley. In fact they did the cry
ing act and for nearly one hour
were husly engaged in persuadIng
the Clerk OF the Peace not TO bring
suit against the respective papers
Tor libel. After considerable chin
ming, the matter was dropped, each
paper publishing 4 retraction oil
the charges and a statement from
Prothonotarv Speakman. This
washing OF dirty linen by the Re.
publican party is disgusting to d II
and it is nearly time it was stopped
as it only has tendency to create
disgust and keep men from voting
the Republican ticket at the comlng
city election.
IT is to be hoped that no strike
will take place i'll our city among
the machinists. Strikes are bad
things and have never yet benefited
a city where they have taken place.
