The Present Time Is One of
Great Agitation
and no little excitement in the political world of
this city and this country, and, in fact, all over the
tyorld.
The blast of the war-trumpet of politics to
consider and settle the destinies of nations is heard
eyerywhere.
The main consideration is not that this or that
party should be in office in our cities, but that right
doing and economies should prevail, that taxes
should be lower and expenditures of public moneys
kept within the city income.
Almost every large city in America has the
same conditions in front of it, and a firm
determination is growing to not allow a city's
prosperity to be swallowed up in the interests of
any political party.
