LIGHT VS. DARKNESS. Erie employes, especially engineers, conductors, firemen, brakemen, mem' bers of wrecking crews and callers, as well as physicians and others whose occupations compel them to be out at all hours of the night, should remem ber that the increased number of elec trie lights in the city and the better service of the electric light depart ment is wholly due to a Republican administration of the city. Qnly a few months ago they were compelled to grope their way to and from their work in the darkness of a half lighted city an occasional light here and there at distant points. Now double the number of lights add to their comfort and safety.

It you appreciate this and the hundreds of other betterments of the public service of tbe past two years, stamp the circle enclosing tbe eagle, at the coming election.

GLENN, IT HAD BUTLER, MUSH BUTLER, you prefer darkness rather than light If you thing 50 sputtering arc lights are preferable to a hundred good lights if you desire the abandonment of half the lights of the city In order to make an easy job for hungry Democratic partisans who hope to secure positions under a Democratic administration then stamp the Democratic emblem, the rooster enclosed in, a circle. REGARDING 8AFETY GATE8.

The Democrat says that the people jeed have no concern regarding the permanency of the gates of the Wa bash railroad at street crossings, even if the attorney of that corporation should be elected Mayor. Its principal reason for this assurance is that the Wabash superintendent "compro mlsed" the matter with Mayor Dungan and City Attorney France when they were in office by "Substituting auto matic danger bells" at LaFontaine and Warren streets, and the Wabash company is fully satisfied as matters now stand. It be interesting to know what authority the, former Mayor and City Attorney had to "compromise" a demand of the people, and the fact a' "compromise" once should be a warning against placing the affairs of the city in the hands of an employe of the Wabash railroad company who might be influenced to "conipromise" them again. A little history regarding the safety gates is not amiss. After John Boos was killed at the Lafontalne street crossing, Major Anderson (then a councilman) offered a resolution, which was passed, compelling the Wa bash company, to put up gates at Lafontalne, Jefferson, Warren and First streets.

At the very next meeting, in the absence of Councilman Anderson, Councilman Prill offered a motion for reconsideration, which was adopted. and Mayor Dungan and City Attorney France rung In the by which dinkey danger signals were nub stltuted on Lafontalne and First streets, for safety gates.

Tbe milk in the cocoanut Is that the Democrat is sore because a Republican council has met tbe expectations of the people by finding a way to build a creditable public build ing a thing the Democratic adminis tration would not have accomplished In a quarter of a century. CUT OUT POLITICS. Republicans are asked by the Democrat to "cut out politics" and vote for the city Democratic ticket.

They are especially asked to rote forJoe Carroll, the Democratic candidate for city clerk, the man who. has violated ev ery principle of decency by attacks upon Republicans as "thieves," "imbeciles," "grafters," even in his reports of official proceedings of the council; the man who refers to city officials as men who protect the lnsulters of the wives and daughters of citizens in "lewd talk and possibly street open insults" on the streets; the man who has impugned honesty and In tegrity of every Republican of prominence in Huntington over an anony mous signature, "Without Glasses;" tbe man who burdens the columns of the Democrat with criticism of city expenses and has never paid a cent of his city taxes. "Cut out politics," says this advocate of the Democratic candl date for Mayor, a man whose partisan; ship has been the most vicious and Grew nd A. C. Wilkersqn, Daniel Schaeff and J.

The church members of Huntington might as well be asked to cut out their morals; the business men to repudiate their debts; the Brotherhoods and union men to abandon their meetings; the school authorities to dismiss their schools; the railroads to abandon their trains; the bankers to close their doors; the newspapers to suspend their publications, as to ask the Reft publicans of Huntington to "cut out politics" and turn the city over to the organized appetite of the greedy Democratic politicians of this city. The ef fect would be only a little less disastrous to the public All kinds of mohairs for suits and waists.

Fresh's. S9t2 r. 11. McCormack Ci. Express Desire ti Itllle tbe Whole Court Street.

Watklns ft Morgan, as attorneys for home people, and there were doubts I p. h. McCormack ft contrctors as to whether the showing would be satisfactory to the ayndlcate, therefore the original program was adhered to. When the North Jefferson street Improvement bonds were Issued a syn on the new court house, havesprepar ed a petition, for the city council which will be watched with interest It asks that Court street from Jefferson to Warren streets, be vacsted for the exclusive use of the contractors during otherwise, and thla petition to the council recites the advantage this concession will afford in the Work. There la some opposition to the plan and rumors of an Injunction suit were current as soon as it became known that the contractors contem plated, this move.

McCormack ft Co. have decided, however, to make the request and. push It vigorously, and the result may be some highly enter taining litigation. Those opposed to the plan think that the blockading of the street will deflect some business from that portion of Warren street directly back of the court house square and that the public would be greatly Inconvenienced thereby. The contractors think it preferable to blockading, even partially, the rest of the frontage of the square, and they practically agree to keep off the other streets if Court street Is conceded to them.

In presenting the Watkins Morgan do not expect the council to act upon it at once, tt will probably go to the committee of the whole for a full investigation of its desirability, and that body will doubtless determine to what extent the measure would in terfere with the publio beforp taking any definite action on the subject It is understood that there would be no active opposition to the use of half of all the surrounding streets, as there is a legal way of obtaining that right but that that would not prove prefer able to the exclusive use of the one ODD FELLOWS COMING.
