PEOPLE ABOVE THE MAN.

Another phase of the "baby-act' is
underway, in the ceaseless bid that is
being made for A. NJ. Smith, eandi-
date for mayor, for sympathy and
tender concern, as against the attacks
of the Morning Astorian and the Re-
publican committee, and il is react
ing against the genial ex-city-attor-
uey and Democratic boss, as tomor-
rows vote viii demonstrate The peo-
pie admire a man who fights, openly,
manfully, upon a sheer and level base
of courage and repute, just as 1t con
demns, and forsakes, the man who, in
the midst Of a political fight, resorts
to idle threats and complaints, and
who gets his friends to echo his
whine where it does not reach on
his utterance. The people are above
the man; their interests are greater
than his; they know it, and rebuke
his complaining overtures promptly
and severely. They win do this to-
morrow.

A DAY OF PUNISHMENT,

In tkis land Of the free, the people
have but one method Of Furnishing the
publican that fails, or transcends, his
official duty, and that is by refusing
him reelection, by Withdrawing their
confidence, and putting the sea Of
disapproYal on his acts, once for all
Tomorrow is to be day OF account
ing in this behalf, and ii belongs en-
tirely to the people to say whether
they are satisfied with the way things
have been done for the past IL TO l6
years; whether the Citizens admin
istration, with its ever increasing load
Of debt and its bid for still greater
debt, is to be put back into place and
power, to work the eity's complete
wreckage and shame.
Or whether Samuel Elmore, the
ablest business man and manager in
all this section, with a group Of clean
and helpful associates, is to be sent
to the head Of government, charged
with the task Of abating the curse Of
this debt, and putting the city back
on normal and progressive bases Of
thrift and justice and honest econ
omy.
