              VOTE FOE. THESE.
The Republican City and Ward Tickets
Merit Your Support.
The city and ward tickets given below, as nominated last week, are unusually good ones, and deserve the
support of every voter who is desirous
-of--clean and efficient administration
•_£ .he city's affairs. It is generally
conceded that in local. elections party
lines are not so strongly marked as in
state and national affairs, every man
_nt£e several tickets being an acquaintance and a neighbor, and; the
■personality of the candidates enters
largely into the result. In presenting
*the names given below we feel that
we can ask the siiffrage of every voter,
not on the grounds of party, merely,
but because of tbe special fitness of
each candidate for the office to which
he has been nominated:
city..
• Mayor—Dennis E. Alward.
Clerk—Charles H. Clark.
Treasurer—Isaac Harris.
School Insp.—Erastus D. Palmer. .
i
SECOND WARD.
Supervisor—William A. Goodman.
Aid. (full term)—G-.' T. Converse,
Aid.(fill vacancy)—Elmer Halstead.
Constable—Steven Shelden.
THIRD WARD.
Supervisor—John C. Rockafellow.
Aid.—Charles S. Lee. i
'Constable—Robert .T. Smalley.
f
It is not necessary to make a-ny «ex-.
tended remarks about men who are so
generally known in the community as
the gentlemen whose' names appear
above."
The nominee for Mayor, D. E. Alward, has been identified for years
with.'the best interests to. Clare, _To
act of his in private life, in business or
in public office needs to be •-explained."
Should the city have occasion to ask
favors of the next legislature,! who
-could better represent us? Ih promoting the welfare of the city and for an
economical- administration of its affairs, no one doubts 'his fitness, and if
public occasions require it, the city
has an eloquent champion.
C. H. Clark for clerk needs no; comment. He is .especially fitted. :.1Jor,
clerical work and doubtless will have
a good plurality.
. Isaac Harris, for treasurer, isa union
soldier and a man whose integrity is
unquestioned. Some silly individuals,
however, are trying to make current a
•* story tp the effect that he is not.aprac-
* tical book-keeper and therefore not
competent. If "book-keeping"; were
the standard of competency how; many
competent treasurers has the city ever
had? Or, how many competent treas-
nr.ers-.in the county;? Our last city
treasurer was not a "practical; bookkeeper," yet no one; doubted Ijiis integrity, and the duties of . hisi office
were discharged satisfiatiorially. As
G. A. R. quarter!; master, . Harris'
accounts were kept in the best
manner possible and won the praise of
democrats and republicans alike. But
the real trouble is riot there; the fact
■is, some one is trying:to. make a mean
and underhand fling at the G. A. R.
^ post itself. You will see the tjpomer-
ang fly-back next week.
The duties of school inspector are
not numerous but important. LW e believe the nominee, IE. D. Palmer, is
entirely qualified ;for the position,
, having been for a number Of years
identified with schools as a teacher.
The nominees for supervisors, W.
A. Goodman and J..C. Rockafellow
have both had experience on the board
arid have done good service for the
•city.- ,;
The nominees for aldermen, G. T.
-Converse, "Willis D. Perrin and Chas.
fJueearemen of good judgement, be-
f lieve in city 'economy and will labor
'fox the best interests  of the whole
community.
.. As constables, Steven Sheldon and
Robert Smalley are competent to-discharge such duties- as may be required
of them in keeping tbe peace.
