Oue of tbe livliest muuicipal coni
tests oi.r towu lias ever seen,
arisen since tlie notice ol a sjHHjial
election to Qi the ‘offlee of Mayor
was nade. No regular meeting ot
thejCiUzen*, as is the nsnal custom,
was held. On Wednesday of last
week the notice nominating Geo.
W. Brown, Esq., was sent in to the
News. That night a number 6t
citizens assembled and nominated
Mr. John giskron. On Saturday
Mr. Brown withdrew and J. J.
Ward, Esq., was nominated in his
stead. Our town has been posted
from one end to the other with
hand bills, and much quiet but el-

two parties represent, or for what
principle they tire working, unless
it is one of personal candidacy. But

appesrs that the one is composed ot
high license and prohibition men,
wfeo-fav^r-that part of the* cotiucil
voted for high license. The
oilier is composed of low license
men. Both of the candidates have
^trong backing and it will probably
be a close vote' to day. It is the
first time that our white citizens
have been so sharply divided on
DMafcipul matters, and it is a state
of things mnch to be deplored
Much has been said on each side,
which will be regretted a week
hence, but much ill feeling has been
engendered which will take a long
time to.allay. Our citizens should
do all they can to let the day pass

President oi the United States have
retried favorably in favor of the
passage of the Hoar bill. U»d»r

Betting A Taxed 4)iiu|isa
In reporting the Hear bill to re
gulate the Presidential succession
to the House the majority of the
committee on the election of Presi
dent and Vice President say it is
absolutely necessary to provide for
the succession under cirbumatances
now existing, leaving further and
more satisfactory provisions for
contjugetv ies which may possibly
arise.to other measures hereafter to
be proposed. As to the question of
the advisability. of .changing U e
present law, the majority say that
they awf toon fronted by many dif-
Acuities that arise fn the endeavor
to uijpertwu tkm constitutionality ot
the ;pr«aMit system. There are
graflft-doabte as to whether the
President pro,te.m, of the Senate or
the Speaker ot the House are such
offh^re pf the United States as.in
the meanidl and intent of the Gou-
stittrMoh *onJd fgk oeed to the Presi-
denriSr office, the statu tea pro v id
lug therefor to the contrary not
withstanding. These doubts would
disturb the succession under the
present nhitates, ami would in all
probabimy lead to e contest that
would disquiet the mrton, unsettle
business and disturb the pc ace of
tbe country.
