The Spring Election.


Three weeks from next Monday
March ellsworth will again elect
municipal officers. DIR. A. @. Hager.
thy, who has so ably conducted the
affairs of the city for the past two
years, will doubtless be a candidate
for a third term.
The result of the contest of two
years ago, when he was first elected
completely dazed our democratic
friends; that of last year utterly dis
couraged them, and it would not be
strange if this year they will be un-
able to find a candidate willing to run.
It is we'll known that large num-
Der of Influential democrats can be
counted on either actively to support
him or not oppose him. In the face
of certain defeat, therefore, it would
seem as though our friends the enemy
would be wise in making ir unani-
nous, although this is hardly to he
expected.
Doubtless there will be the usual
ward contests for aldermen, although
it must be admitted that up to date
no sigas of serious strife are visible
TO the naked eye.
Next Monday is settlement day,
and soon thereafter the voters win
know how good an account of its
stewardship the present board can
give. Those who have followed the
course OF the board in it's use of the
ci,y's money during the past year al
ready know, however, that our
municipal affairs have been conducted
with rare good judgment.
The roads have received unusual
attention during the year, and while
expenditures have been considerable,
the Improvements are desirable and
permanent.
In the matter of electric lighting,
the board has gone slow, but with
view of securing the most efficient
service for the least expenditure, and
the report of the changes and i'm
provements proposed at the meeting
on Monday evening seems to meet
with general approval.
In general it is safe to say that
all the departments have received
0reful attention from the board, and
e issues, so far as there are any, are
deeed to merely political ones,
thich in community like this, when
purely local, are not apt to be con-
nned to party lines.
