cur on Monday, March 10Th, it
is but reasonable that we should
speak of the candidates whom
the people are to vote for, at
said election. Both parties have
made their selection as to their
candidates, and we are glad to
say that both have been very
fortunate in selecting good and
competent men, so the voter
cannot go very far wrong, no
Offence which ticket they vote.

Mayor and naming ALI the or
der in which their names appear
on the official ballot.
For Mayor p. F. James, for
the sixth time, has been placed
at the head of the ticket, a po-
|sition for which he has never
been defeated, and in the uis-
charge of his official duty. he
has discharged the same with
impartiality, honesty and fideli-
|ty. His acts, as mayor, has
warmed many an humble home
by furnishing fuel, when the oc-
cupents were so unfortunate as
to be unable to supply the ne
cessary material themselves,
and many a poor man has been
assisted by him when assistance
was a blessing; he is a friend of
labor, an old resident, honest,
and fully identified with the
best interests of the city, and

the finances of this city.

he is the right man in the right

convention selected S. R. Will
Jams, a promising young shop
man, and one of our promising
Young mechanics; and for a
running mate they selected Ed.
D. Bradley, the clothing mer-
chant whom all know, and all
recognize in him the qualifica-
tons to make q first rate man
10 attend to the city business.
Let every voter see to it that
he puts an x before the name
