Robinson, the Republican candidate. can-didate. Mi. Anderson can not even be the choice of tho Democrats, for accoiding to the Democratic oigan, two tonus of olllce Is all that Is pei-mittcd pei-mittcd any man of that party. That paper, two jcais ago. uiged this as a reason why Mr. Anderson should not then bo nominated for athlidtcrm. And will an body tell us of any startling startl-ing things Mr. Anderson or the council coun-cil did during his two terms. Mr. Anderson is a gentleman, but an ordinary personage and his selection for a thlid term Is either a proof of the Democratic paity's scaicit of mavorality timber, or is a delibciato slap at other capable men in that partv who have a right to lecognition.
