HARD TO CHOOSE
Between Knox and McConochie,
But It's Up to Repub-
licans
ON THE MAYoRALTY NOMINATION
Former Mayor Seeks Vindication-
Others Mentioned for
the ONCE.


While Mayor Knox, as they say in
! slang parlance, may be regarded as
''all in politically speaking, he APP
parently does not realize the fact. for
the information comes that lieuten-
ants of his are out drumming up SEN
timent for his denomination as
measure of vindication. This may or
may not be with the knowledge and
consent of his honor.
The popular belief is that Former
Mayor William McConochie. however.
has already gotten the worm. for he
has had his minions out since last
fall, and of late his anvil chorus has
been working overtime. So that. to
| a man up a tree, the republicans seem
about to face the predicament of
choice between McConochie and Knox
| And that will be an alluring state of
affairs. for as far as the moral as
pect of the city is concerned their re-
| Spective administrations are a stand
OFF. as those at all familiar with the
condition of affairs during the last
McConochie administration will adj
| NIT. McConochie has the advantage.
perhaps, of being the more foxy of
| the two politically, and the more ca
pable as far as the discharge of the
duties of the Office go, but on the all
absorbing issue before the people at
the present moment he has no very
great advantage. except that Mr..
Knox recognized the evils then exist
ing two years ago and promised if
elected TO remove them.

and below will be found the
amounts of the various taxes to
be collected this fall, and also
the amount for the same pur-
poses for the year 1892 for com
parison. The difference in the
two years is due to the reduc
ton of the rate of state taxes
from % cents to 10 cents on the
800 valuation for 1903, which
materially reduces The state
tax. The State Board of Equal.
ization increased the assessed
valuation on all farm lands 10
per cent and it will be seen
that all taxes for county pur-
poses is greater in amount tnan
for 1902:
