truthfulness and honesty that the voters of boll i purlieu may colonger no longer be deceived by the wild falsehoods of an unscrupulous fon it is the worthy ambition of every progressive city to become possessed with the least possible expense to the taxpayers of adequate ai wa er and with waterworks water works good streets and sidewalks a cheap and substantial rosaua f night illumination

healthy condition instead of a boom that so often becomes a boomerang it would haie been a steady M dorous conservative advance in values such as our growth and progress would justify and not a wild extravagant inflation of values that nothing shoich of a miracle can maintain but if as some claims aliis condition of things is a great public benefit then lo 10 ruih men as col swan hon J II 11 and judge patton does the honor belong and not to the municipal of the city under liberal rule they have advertised us as we were never advertised before and instead of entering upon a crusade of slander and arousing partisan feelings they have had a food word tor everybody and have publicly and privately advocated union and harmony among all classes furthermore I 1 do not believe that they hae ever advocated as a question of merit the elevation to power of the liberals as against the overthrow of the peo pies baity for every honest man and such I 1 them to be w bo impartially question knows foil
