| Show A THE WISE IT was not to be supposed that the knot of conspirators plot against everything that is in the interest of the majority malo rity would permit a ticket formulated by the peoples party to be elected without some kind of factious opposition therefore the attempt which is now being made to create division in the peoples people a ranks I 1 is nothing unusual or unexpected the only possible chance for any success in local politics to the is to split up the majority and so weaken its forces to accomplish this the conspirators would stick at nothing the ticket framed for toe the election on monday next is so strong that there is no earthly probability acty of its bein being 9 broken except by att attacking beking it on one or two points winch which through misrepresentation sen tation maybe may be made somewhat vulnerable ne rable no ather ticket is yet in the field but it if it can be ascertained that slander willi will render ender iu any way doubtful the full support of the people to one or two candidates another ticket will be b fixed up to deceive some and capture others and so make division work what is wanted against this the people should be on their guard the candidates selected tor for abuse and it if possible defeat are aib the nominees ar for mayor and marshal those gentlemen were selected by the convention la due form after long and careful deliberation by the committee on nominations and they were unanimously end endorsed orbed by the conven i tion and they will be elected it if the members of the party do not nob make tools fools of themselves I 1 mr frank armstrong is a solid business in es s man well known in the community t Y with many qualities that tit fib him fa for r t the he position to which he is nominated he is frank by nature as well weil as name fearless of any influences public ir r private that stand in the way of duty a shrewd successful public spirited and enterprising citizen whose word is good in commercial circles and against whose character there is not a breath of reproach all there is against him I 1 is the opposition in of the conspirators and what does that amount to the charge that he furnished money to help expose the corrupt and reeking deho bauchens bau chees who infest this city ond and w who are sustained in their filthiness by the organ of falsehood which assails him or la n that expenditure of money he performed a public service which should recommend him to all who want to see lechery suppressed and hypocrisy exposed he me made no secret of his bis part in the work for which he is now abused he told it publicly b 1 icly and before the grand jury arhe the misrepresentations of those these wilo who fear the results of that work should not weigh with the people indeed the opposition against him should count in his favor considering the source from which it emanates the very fact that he is so assailed should rally all his f friends and the members of his party to his hia support what the enemy wants least Js is what we should want most mr aft alfred solomon to is attacked even more bitterly thaw mr armstrong and why for a similar reason and because he to ia likely to be more active a against the social iniquity by reason of his position at the head of the police he is also well known is a solid man one who has built up a sound business ku in the interests of home industry he has been accustomed to direct directing lug men has been connected with the special police it 1 c e for over fifteen years has never gee been n known to falter was trus trusted feci and I 1 esteemed by the late marshal burt bart of precious memory and has not a stain upon u on his name or character what what has the abe 0 opposition to say against not him why that cal t lie he acted as a witness against the re sorters to houses of ill fame for lewdness he has seen too much to suit them he knows too much of the doings of certain persons to maae thiem them feel easy in the thought that he be will be at the th head of the police the lechars lechers dont want him the organ tha defends the common vices of humanity hates bates him very good that is a potent reason why he should be sustained by the people any one that is good enough to be black guarded by that element has a strong certificate of merit we bespeak for these candidates in connection with the others the support of every consistent member of the peoples party when a regularly called convention of the peoples del agates nominate a ticket it is our best policy to vote that ticket as a unit this unity is oar great strength it is w what hat our enemies hate and fear it is what all their energies are turned against any show of a disposition to waver they h py will take advantage of it is simple prudence on our oar part never to become divided in these times the vote of every citizen seguld be cast and the peoples party should como come out in its power there should be no vacillation and no halting between two opinions every man and woman that can lawf lawfully all use the ballot should go to the polls and vote the i peoples ticket and for its regularly no nominated candidates there should be no scratching what good will 1 it do there should be no division only harm could result from it our disputing over candidates should all be done in a bention ven tion and when that Is over contention should be stopped we are in a different position to any other people on earth and we need all our powers to stem the tide of opposition against us let the enemy r rage age let the conspirators howl but let no friend of the peoples cause be gulled into division or led into apathy when that cause requires his aid and support the peoples ticket should command a rousing vote in all the municipal wards on monday february ath all hands to the polls I 1 |
