OUR TICKET

At the head of this column this week
will be found the Democratic City Tick
ct, which was placed in nomination last
Friday evening. We believe it to be one
of the best tickets ever placed IN the
field. The name for mayor is vacant
above because Mr.. Frederick Kruse,
who was nominated for mayor, has de-
clined, but this will be filled this week
by the committee.
In the First ward Mitch Griffith is
the nominee. He is the present alder
man from that ward and has given good
satisfaction during the past year. He is
conscientious, and will be good man to
elect.
Edward Cody in the Second is known
to everybody. For years he has hauled
quartz. and everyone that knows him is
certain that should he be elected he will
be faithful man to the public in that
Office.
In the Third ward Charles McCallis.
ter has again been placed in nomination.
He is one of the best known and ener-
getic young men in the city. and should
be the choice of the voters OF that ward,
they can depend upon being represented
with as fine ability as was ever sent from
there.
William a. Hoskin il the Fourth was
placed in nomination, not so much as a
Democrat, but because he is one OF the
finest and most liberal minded young
men in the city. In politics he is inde-
pendent, generally voting for man rather
than party, but we are certain that il he
is elected. as we believe he will be, that
ward will be proud of its alderman.
Taken as whole no better choices
Could have been made for aldermen, and
when a good, strong man is placed at
the head, it will be ticket not Demo
crat or other citizen need be ashamed of
Gilpin observer., 1904-03-24
THE OPPOSITION

The Republicans have put at the head
of their ticket Mr.. Ii. P. Davies of The
Pharmacy. For Alderman OF the first
thoy have Burt Seymour Of the Hawley
Mdse Co., who makes his bow in politics
for this Office. In the second Christian
Fisher the agent for the Zang Brewing
Co., and at present alderman from that
ward, is the nominee. In the third
Robert Wilkinson, former marshal Of the
city is their choice and in the fourth
John g. Williams has been placed in
nomination.
They have good representative ticket
but on the whole we believe the Demo
cratic candidates will best serve the in
terests OF the people.
