Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-09-29
THE CITY TICKET.

The work of the democratic city con vention was finished up quickly last night and with a unanimity that speaks well for the success of the tick. ct nominated on election day. Attor- ney James ai. Lynch, as predicted, was made the standard bearer, and in plac- ing him at the head of the ticket the democrats have made no mistake. He is one of the ablest men we have in the party to-day. A property owner and tax payer himself he will guard the city's finances as If they were ms own. An honest and conscientious citizen he stands for all that is good in our community. With no strings tied to him and dominated by no faction he will go into the mayors ofnce with out pledging himself to any one. The city of Waterbury needs such man at the helm, one who is of the people, a self made man, if you will, who has attained whatever he has by superior merit, honesty of purpose. and con- scientious discharge of every duty rhaL has been thrust upon him. The men on the ticket with MT Lynch are all well known citizens, and most of them have been before the public so long that an introduction for them is hardly necessary. Michael J. Ryan, the con didate for city clerk, has already filled the position for two terms. That he has. performed his duties well goes without saying. and the voters VIII no doubt see to it that he will have chance to keep on with his good work. He numbers his friends among both parties, all of whom heartily endorse the able manner in which he has filled the position. Michael D. Russell should, and no doubt will be elected to the office he now holds. The posi- ton of comptroller is one of the most important in the city and MT Russell has attended to the duties connected. herewith in a capable anI painstaking manner. John W Mcdonald, better known as Jack occupies his old place on the ticket. He has been at the helm so long that it is superduous to say anything about him. He adds strength to the ticket and will come in on election day with his usual big ma jority. 4 new man in politics is Henry ". Minor, who has been named for the position of tax collector. Al. though new in the political field, he is well and favorably known. A rising young attorney, whose ancestors have been known to Waterbury for many years. He has hosts of friends in both parties who are pleased at bis noml- nation and who will use every legitimate effort to elect him. Edelbert Reichen- back is another new man in politics. The democrats have placed him on the ticket as t--7- E. He is well known and popular and will add strength to the ticket. James E. Rus sell is nominated for the position of agent of the Bronson library and John Healey and William F. Bowe have bee ] named as members of the board of re lief. MT Russell need not worry as his
 nomination is equivalent to an cleo
 ton. The ticket as a whole is a strong one and worthy the support of every
 democrat. The republicans have al
 ready begun to throw mud and rake
 up old scores which is sure sign of
 weakness. If it has no better argu-
 ment than some of those now being
 put forward it deserves the threshine
 it is bound to get on next Monday
 Up democrats, and at them.
