Hon. A. g. Dayton's record In con
ress has been clean and efficient. he
has done his duty as he saw II. and
his service and worth are not only
knownthroughout his district and state
bnt this entire nation is familiar will
his exceptional ability, which ne has
repeatedly demonstrated, as member
of the naval committe, and, also, on
the floor of the house.
Mr.. Dayton is man who is easily
approached by the humblest citizen.
He IL ever ready to help those who
are in trouble, and to render any as
ristance for. charitable purposes that
may be In his power. In the midst OF
political battles he never loses sight
of his chief aim in life--to serve his
constituents in the very lest way he
can Such a man deserves TO be re-
elected to the position which he now
so ably fills.
Occasionally we hear some one at
tack his administration, but no man
successfully contradicts the fact that
Mr.. Dayton has made a good con-
gresham. Those who would malign
and abuse his good name are not cap
able of knowing and appreciating his
true worth. Doubtless he has made
some mistakes, but isn't it human to
err Suffice isto say that he is always
found at his post of duty, striving TO
solve the best way he can, the great
problems which are daily before him.
He who would know and understand
Mr.. Dayton thoroughly must acquaint
himself with his ten years record in
congress. Then he will the better
know with what great questions he
has had to contend, and how success
fully he has managed every depart
nent of government under his inn
mediate care. Let every thoughtful
and intelligent republican do his ut
most in taking some part in the cleo
ton of such a statesman as Aston

In less than two weeks the people
of this city will elect a MAYOR and five
councilmen to control our municipal
government for another tern. The
men nominated by both parties are
good, honest and deserving citizens,
and no one has word to say against
their characters. But in voting, this
is not SO much the question when all
parties are good men and loyal to their
convictions. political principles are
to be taken into consideration and
they should be upermost in every man s
mind when casting a vote for any
candidate. Office holders are only
servants of the people, carving out
their will.
1t would be useless to say that the
republican party stands for good
government, for its record Is open to
