For President, ALTON 1L PARKER. of Now York. For Vice-President, HENRY (Jr. DAVIS, ?.>! \Vet>t Virginia. The citizens of Lancaster are about to have presented to tkeno the opportunity of obtaiuing waterworks and an electric light plant. They doubtless see their needs along these lines aud pos-! aibly need little urging to help them avail themselves of the opportunity now open to them. The terms, etc., are a matter for their own consideration ; but if we may be allowed to speak junk ? wura ny way ot urgency, we would say that Lancaster's one greut need for a long Litne has been water, both tor drinking purposes and tire protection. The water they have there may be, and doubtless is, all right after one becomes accustomed to it, but to the visitor and new citizens it is anything but palatable or satisfying. And as for fire protection, they have none. Tney are simply at the mercy of any conflagration, which is liable to break cut at any time. They should not let the opportunity pass lightly by Their Deed is urgent and they should avail themselves of it if suitable terms can be arranged. Lights ? Yes, turn on the lights, too. Kershaw Era.
