CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED.
The campaign in Manchester for the
spring election is launched and every
day new candidates are brought out for
be the most exciting and hotly contested
of any in the history Of the city. For
nearly every public Office there will be
some opposition. and the vote will be SO
split up that the result cannot be tol6
until after the closing of the polls on
election day. For City Sergeant and
Mayor the contests will be the most in
teresting. For Sergeant there will prob
ably be no less than six candidates, and
each man is claiming the victory. Mr..
Saunders, who is now a member of the
City Council, has a great many friends
and has made a good member of tbs
Council. He will be q man to be feared
in the contest. Mr.. Jim Nunnally is tbs
latest candidate for this Office, and ht
has a number of friends, especially
among the young men. Mr.. G. A. Carr
has been spoken of for the place, but will
not say definitely as to his running. Mr..
Carr was III the race at the last election
and was defeated only by a small vote
by the late Sergeant H. c. F'urguson
Mr. Walter FurguSon has been spoken
OF, and should he decide to enter thv
race some one will have to work mighty
hard, for the friends of Mr.. Furgusol
are numbered among every branch o
life in the city. MI. H. A. Maurice viii
be q candidate, for reelection for Mayor.
and will be opposed by Captain a. G.
Atkinson, the present Commonwealth
attorney. Mr. Attlisson is quite popular
He has made a good Commonwealth
attorney and had many difficult cases
TO handle. Mr.. Maurice is strong with
the people and will make a good run
For Commemorative attorney there VII.
be two young lawyers, Messrs Willis
C. Pulliam and Robert s. Rives. Both
are we'll known and will make a good
fight.
SUGGESTIONS MADE.
Now that the City Council has accepted
The offer of the Richmond Passenger and
Power Company for lighting the city free
Of charge for five years, and the saving
Of $50, $50 is effected by the contract, how
10 spend this money best and where II
wou.u do the most good is being agitated,
md numerous suggestions are being made
all good ones-but whether the surplus
will go around is another one.
Increasing the police force was the
.irst thought of the citizens on learning
of the remarkable offer Many applica-
tons came in from men who would like
10 help protect the city from all harm
The Finance Committee has this propo-
sition for their consideration, and at the
next meeting will look into the eSpedi-
ency Of placing more men on.
In a talk with two real estate men
Yesterday they expressed a desire to see
the rate Of taxation lowered and let the
1olice force remain as it is THE four
men now on the force" said one of the
gentlemen, have made out to protect
The city's and citizens interests until
aow, and they can do SO in the future
continuing he said: Just because there
have been many robberies over here re-
,entIy, the people are bowling for more
police: look at Richmond: they have
plenty OF policemen over there, and the
robbers went right along with their
work, as though there was no such thinS
as :. million Of the law in tie City of the
; Hills" This gentleman wants to see the
taxes lowered and realty so up in the
city. The Council will receive many suS-
sestions as to what use to make OF the
money which has heretofore been eX-
pended for lights. There could bc no bet
ter expenditure of a part OF the money
than making an addition to the clerks
Office MI Duval, clerk of the Hastings
Court. is in need Of more room for books
and i.apers. Every available inch IS nlled
witt, books and flies OF papers Whlle
Mt Duyal is one of the best clerks ever
in the Office, and q very useful enc, the
space of the Office does not permit OIL ms
alacins the books as he woul1 like to do.
Many citizens have spoken Of the con-
dtion of the Council Chamber and won
Tered why a better one has not been
built or this one remodeled. For a small
sum of money the room that the Coun-
ell now meets in could be made much
