the trick ponies appeared TO be very
intelligent
Just what camels could be trained TO

AS the time for the selection of the
next chief magistrate Of our fair city
draws near, we frequently hear the
question asked. who will be the
next mayor" This Is a matter in
which every man. woman and child
should be vitally interested, for so
much depends upon the mayor. We.
all OF us, desire TO see a clean, hon
est, progressive administration; and
there is no possibility of such a thing,
unless the man at the head of the ad-
mlnistTntion be clean, honest and pro-
gressiye, That there are many men
in the city of Ogden who fully meas
ure up TO the above standard, goes
without saying; that there are man.
who do not, Is also true. That some
of those clean, honest. progressive
fellows possess that rare ability and
peculiar fitness which enables men TO
reach that top-most pinnacle Of right
eouS fame. and to govern for the i'm
partial benefit OF all, Is beyond ques.
tion
Now, this being unQuestionably true
and the fact that the union people
are taking more interest in politics
of late, that is. in the selection Of
good men for office. therefore, we have
decided TO ascertain in advance OF the
coming election, as nearly as possible,
the feelings of the people relative to
this matter, so each paid admission
