While the nominees of the Reform
party for city offices are all men OF
sterling worth, it will. nevertheless,
be interesting to their politial friends
to know something Of their careers
and the places they occupy in the
community. 1t may be stated as a
preliminary that they are "all good
men and true" and that if the admin
istration of the city government is
confided to them for the next two
years no apprehension need be telt
that it is not in capable. patriotic
