Never was anv such an assortment ever brought to this city In foot-wear as may now be found ready for Inspection at this veteran establishment. We ad vise any and all In search of this class of goods to call on Mr. Dwiglit, who with Ids able assistant will take pleasure In showing yon through his Immense stock, and will make you prices so low that It will cause you to rejoice, even If yon have come twenty miles or more to trsde with him. No firm In the northwest buvs better goods, which same are bought strictly for cash. We said in eur last weeks communi­ cation that the ticket placed in nomi­ nation with G. K. Bunker for mayor ot this city at Its head would be sure ol success, because there was na opposi­ tion. It appears however, that such was not allowed to be the case, for as late as Monday evening the numerous friends of George Eckert. living In the south ward, prevailed upon that gen­ tleman to enter the field fnr re-election against Dr. W. W. Cook, who had secured the nomination, in a no very complimentary miianer to. himself the Saturday night previous tn the election of^iist Tuesday. The result of the elec­ tion of Alderman Eckert by two votes to one for Dr. Cook should he a l*sson to that gentleman nnd the cla«s or hackers that pushed him to the front, which it may be well for them to re­ member in the future when trying to see;ire the nomination of any man by fraud. Dr. Cook may be n right good fellow, and might posslblv make a fair ablerman, but was certainly found In bad company on thariiight of the caucus --and worse en election day. He might have known that to be put up and backed by the ex-commander of all the troops iu Woodstock at the caucus and electioneered for at the polls l>y Wood­ stock's young Mike McDonald. M. M. Morley. and "the calf iliat bleats upon the streets," lie was suro Of defeat. The old War Horse was, as usual, for both candidates ay/1 therefore only having one vote, did not cast that for either. It Is really amusing to see bow the organ of our new mayor, "the self- styled leading paper," the Sentinel, slobbers all over that Individual in its last issue. They forget, however, to mention the way Ms nomination was secured--In fact fail to report the min­ utes of that c«ucu#;s^Vi»d It has also passed from their memory that the new mayor Is only a happen-stand. for no one could be found to take tlio place. We personally know of six of our business men who were begged to allow their names to be used tor the office, and we hear of several others. On electiou day. in the north ward, where there are over 200 voters, about sixty took the trouble to go to the polls to vote. A like result would have been had in the south ward if there had not been a fight on nlderinaii. The new mayor Is a fair sort of a business man. and Is possessed of a considerable of "this world's gomis," but it is by "their fruits ye shall know them.*' Per­ haps it would he advisable to wait awhile befere spreading ou the "soft soap" too thick, ever, when one Is "lorded over" und owned entirely by a man who may he nil excellent judge of human nature "when upon his native heath," hut when away from home is a laughing stock tor any community; A Pbst of the O.
