Evening Hera lei 8ATUUDAY, FEBRUAIiY 13. 1M'7. THE LOCAL C0NTr.8T. The borough election, on Tuesday next, In an impurtunt one to the i pie of Shenan doah. Upon t!ie verdict of the people will depend the character of the governing powei for the next three years. The contest w ill be a spirited one, and if we may be allowed tu judge from the attendance at the primaries, the indications are that a full vote will be polled. The leiulura of both parties are active, and are bringing to their assistance every available means to crowu their efforts with success. At the head of tbe borough ticket, the Citisens pi.-ut the name of Charles 11. Ilageobuch. i'he office of Chief Burgees is one of much more importance than the aver age eitisen places upon it. The Chief Exec utive of the borough Is supposed Ui enforce the ordluauces adopted by the llo rough Council; Bee to it that the pavement and gutters are kept iu proper condition, and maintain a general supervision over the town. There are many ImprovomeuU in this line needed in Shenandoah, and upon the character ol the man elected to that posi tion will depend the kind of administration the people may expect for the next three years. Sir. llageubueh has been a resident of Shenandoah for many years, aud is one of our leading business men aud public spiriied citizens. His career is known to all, aud no act of his hag ever tarnished his manhood or sullied his name. The people may well be proud to have him as tho chief officer of the borough; for it matters not iu what position ho may be placed, nor wliat emergency may arise during his administration, he will do hit. duty faithfully aud with credit to the pe ople of the borough. He has nothing to lose but everything to gain by comparison with his opponent. Au office to be filled on Tuesday which is of us much importance, if uot mora so, thau that of Chief Burgess, is tho Collector of Taxes. The Citizens paity bus unanimously nominated A. D. Oable, at present Council man from the Fourth ward. He is no stranger to the people of Shenandoah, whom he has served well aud faithful for mauy years iu the legislative branch of ourborougb govern- haa shipped?" culling baabioughc him iuto close now farm i with the people, and lie is well chargo opped for the office he socks. Kuergetic aud activo, fearless and houeet, he will give a good account of his stewardship. Mr. Gable's experience us a Councilman, and the kuuwl odge derived as a member of the Finance Committee for several terms, gives him uu ndvantago that his opponent doos not pos sees, and which will rcduwn to tho intoiest of the property owners and others of the borough. Tho nominees for Borough Justice, William II. Shoemaker and T. T. Williams, have each much to recommend them. They wore both Justico of the Peace for a number of years, and held the position until they were uncere moniously fired out by a legal technicality. The Democratic party has apparently sanc tioned that trick upon tho voters of Shenan doah in the nomination of one of the gentle men who profited thereby and holds tho position to-day uuder the commission tliuj issued. If we mistake not the feeling of our people they will resent the act in the election of two of ihe ex-Justices on Tuesday, and they will be Messrs. Williams and Shoemaker. They deserve the votes of their fellow citizens. The candidate for Borough Auditor, Harry Reuse, is a young man of exemplary habits, and in every way qualified for the oxactiug duties of the office. Mr. Reese is at present in the employ of tho Home Friendly Society of Baltimore, lid., and tho officials of the latter give him a flattering recommendation. Tho ward tickets are exceptionally strong. It is a noteworthy faot frequently com mented upon by the voters of both parties, that tho Citizens candidates for Council aud School Board are above the average iu ability usually nominated for these offices. For this reason tho Democrats are placed at a great disadvantage, and its organ Is compelled to resort to persoual attacks upon members of the Citizens party who are not oven seeking the suffrage of tho people. This kind of warfare, however, has disgusted their own party voters, and many of them will resent it by voting for the Citizens candidate. The latter have conducted a clean and open fight, made no personal attacks, and stand solely upon their own merit and they will be elected. Much stress is placed upon the "overflow" meeting held by the Democrats on Tuesday evening. It consisted, however, of twenty eight men, by actual count. Even these twenty-eight will be ashamed of it after Tuesday. Thb latest and most amusing argument o (fared in behalf of the Detascratio ticket, by its own organ, is that if the Democrats are successful io Sbouandoab, they will thus be enabled to carry the county, then the state, aud lastly tits nation. Id other words, the destinies of the national Democnwy depends upon the election next Tuesday. A great and fruitful uiii 1, I us this "managing oditor."

They declined to amend at all the sec tion of the constitution that provides only amateur riders and -draws the color line, and they declined to offer a salary for the racing committee. The things they did were to divide the league Into consulates of 25 clubs each, allowing amateurs to exchange their prizes for anything but cash; in increasing the bond of the secretary to $10,000 aud the treasurer to $15,000; placing road racing under the espion age of the racing board.
