Two Acceptable Candidates.

There is one thing that the opposi-
ton cannot urge against Mr.. Callow,
the De mocratic nominee for Auditor,
and that is that he is not thoroughly
competent. He is one of the best &C.
countants in the State, and it may be
regarded as a fortunate circumstance
that a community is able to avail
itself of the services OF one who may be
considered An expert in accounts.
As to Mr.. Callow's political tenets,
though he may be somewhat socialis-
tic in belief, he certainly errs on the
side of right, in advocacy Of q system
of government that 10 rejected mainly
for its Utopian characteristics. The
individual belief Of any candidates can
not be assailed for party discipline 30
long ~ he maintains the usages and

pudiation Of Ismay's claims TO indi-
vidual support. 1t is just as much the
privilege of anybody to oppose Mr..
Ismay without impairing his standing
in or out Of the party.
