First. he seems incapable of exer- cising an open,‘ fair, unbiased and unprejudiced judgment. Four years ago when we first advocated his re- election for his first full term. some of his old neighbors, good, honest, fair minded men, came to us and said in substance. "You make a mistake; Mr. Ohee can’t-give agfair, unpartisan judgment on a case. If he has any prejudice against a‘person they will run away with him," etc. We 'did not believe it then. but four years in the city council have shown it to be correct. Mr. Oboe is built in that way; he seems incapable of seeing things with a cle‘ar,‘ judicial, well balanced judgment, {unmoved and un- 'all‘ected by personal feeling. Second, he is led away by his ac tnve. coneuousl y exercised prejudices. It was his prejudices or old grudges, about what we know not that made him oppose the cement crossing on the alley in back of James McDon- ald's little office on old Port Clinton; livery consideration of sound public policy, of. good public walks on that street and courtesy to Mr. Mc Donald in his eflorts to improve the street dictated a cement crossing there. Even Mr. Philips favored it till he A Condo: at Noah Shun.- Intellltence. T”: No. 92. Highland Put. SATURDAY. APRIL 14. TERMS u... PER van. OFFICES: Manager.

St Johns Ave. in front 0! the depot, dumped into that ill on Linden Ave. below Mr. Boul- _ton's. Evety mm of business sense and method said the Colooel was right; but Oboe objected. His whole scheme 0: theory of management is thus based on false grudges 'snd measures, sad the influence of such a msn is disastrous. ' Then, "we wish to add, that other/ men have often furnished the brains and Mr. Obee has been induced to execute their plans and wishes. Some men would not do things which Mr. Obeehas not hesitated to do. but they have been willingtofumish the brains for his measures; they have stood back and said ‘St. ’boy’.‘ . to him and heme executed their schemes. Heneeothers are blameworthy with him. 'It was . with this com- bination a year ago that the disas- trous and. disgraeeful results in our city campaign were secured. ‘Mr. Obee has been there five years. -Wei-e be a great and wise states. man-like than, he should retire unless the people demahd longer service from him, instead of trying most vig- oreusly to oust’him. ‘ The phenomenal thing about. Mr. Obee’s hampaigu in ward four, is that no one of any consideration as a business person or tax payer in any part of the city wants him re elected. These people have no use for him. “Oh dear. We do hope the fourth ward .will go right" said a woman tax payer in the gityla few‘ days ago. No vote hersellfno’husband to voicé at the polls her wish there she sat ‘ lifting her heart to God to turn the: hearts of the voters aright. You ask a business man in ward two or three and it is the same story. Ask the capitalist or unimproved property owner, and “he has no use for Obee", .he wants the‘city’ 3 business and fl ‘ nances wisely,managed. Mr. Oboe has had five years to make a man of himself with such a record that, men good and true and honest shall speak well of him and «this is the out'come. Rev. Dr. Hillie crested s eensation in Beeher’s old pulpit s 'lew .Sun- dsys since by denying ell allegiance to the Presbyterian creed. But he won’t upset the world; greater men than he have sttempted it. but'the old world moves on as usual. But we suggest that when Dr. Hillis’ new nimby-psmby creed of the ‘humeni- ties”, evolution, etc, results in the genuine conversion and Christian ohsrseter uphnilding of as many persons us did the preaching he de- ride: it will be time enough for him to heat sud tell what greet things he he and can do.
