DECATUR & BEEGLE, GEO. M. GRAHAM, MGR. YELLOW FRONT SHOE STORE. BSBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSBSSSSa March 19, 1896. Fellow Citizens: Though, unsolicited and somewhat against my personal inclinations, owing to business in terests requiring" much of my time, T have been nominated by a repub lican convention, regardless of par tv -affiliations, as a candidate for major of this city. Believing it the duty of every citizen to assist ia every way possible, even to the. exteat of some personal sacrifice, toward making his own city one of ihe best, realizing as I do that a public office is a public trust, that our city is confronted at Ihe -present time with a very serious ques tion in the settlement at its case, with the Water Works Company, each side having its adherents and earnest advocates among the best of our citizens, the office of mayor will not he a hed of roses. The - committeeappointed to aotify me of my nomination, composed of ?ome of our best citizens "both re- j publican and democrats, -assured me that in aiy selection politics were not considered, and that no promises as to my future policy would be exacted; on these condi tions I have deemed my duty to ac cept the nomination. Wj11 state that I nave no enemies to punish or friends to reward, and if elected-1 shall endeavor to discharge the duties of the office, without fear or far - . - . .
