We exercise our privilege as voters
of the city of Richmond respectfully
to recommend the recollection Of Mayor
ness. his integrity of character his
high moral qualities. no word Is need
ed. Upon his intellectual endowments
his quick perception. his acute analysis
of a tangled proposition. his resource
fulness. his forceful presentation OF a
subject so as to be understood by all,
and his untiring industry, there is no
his faithlulness to the Confederate
Cause, whose interests he espoused as
a lad, or uron his long and exemplary
life in this community as private
citizen

sponsiole within the gift OF our peo-

to veto all measures confers power
that can be overcome only by fourteen
Councilmen, hence 1t will appear that

sity of a trained administrator. In no

of practical contact with the INSIDE
