OBSERVER. tit WS Editor: nd Proprietor. V . i i i v - . i. i . H TT Friday, April 25,1873. ;; J municipal- election; ell tf t The object of the convention called didate for Mayor. - g- - t - hose candidates ttho aret already in the field and who prefer to receive a regular nomination at the hands of thirf fellbw-citUeh; :.in J(g)feWten assembled, will sttbra ft Ineir.rfcJpect iv claims to the convention, and "hate already expressed their willing ness to abide by the decision of such coilventkm JEach-oneof t&e gQP tlemen; whose namesr hay$ hep brought forwara prominently before the! public as candidates for the hon or of the Mayoralty j haveclaipis for a ? ' : ....... iiic position which can utrvviv pii'- efly urged by their respective friends. We trust, that this will be done with:pcrfect harm ony and gawd f eel -imrJ There is no reason why snch should not be 'the "'case. , For remem ber that this is an honbrable, open -handed rivalry between men united by ties of friendship as well as by the tood of party fealty. All th.fi candidate . now before the " pep jVte hold pretty much to the same politi cal ifaith. All are Conservatives true to the interests of.tlieirc()untry, and united in the common cause of advancing the welfare and prosperi ty of Charlotte. Let Us thpri, for the sake of peace and harmony, have no distentions,. :tnd let no man be so forgetful of the T'duty he otves' the community as to stir up strife orb;d feeling for the purpose of promot ing the interests of himself or., hi$ friends. The office of Mayor is a position which is open to the aspirations of any worthy and honorable citizen. One wratvhas as much right to seek it as another. Let thefontest, then, be a fair, open and friendly one. A contest of this kind is not a le gitimate field for the operations of any Ring of politicians, or schemers, or wire-pullers. Rings are ruining the country : moneyed rings, politi cal ringand railroad rings they are all prolific sources'of evil. The political ring stifles the voice of tbe people. It is, therefore, not to be tolerated. Rings are wrong in principle, and pernicious in the fleet which they produce. ' " .1 h .'. A free expression of Opinion by the citizens of Charlotte is wha , we want to-night, and a free, un tram ell; ed choice of a Mayor is what we want the first Monday in May. We trust, for thegood of Charlotte, that no ring will attempt to control the approaching municipal election. If any ring attempts "'by unffiir means to forestall or control nohi nations let the people rebuke t them at the polls by .an overwhelm ing defeat of the candidates which they may put forward. ' We do not know that any such at tempt will be made. If any such ring exists in Charlotte now, we know no thing of it.. We hope hone will be formed, as it could only result in producing dissentions and strife among men of the same political faith, which should, of course, be avoided if possible. Let the Conservatives o Charlotte, and such honest and hondrhble Re publicans as mean well to' ohr city, unite in elevating to the May.pxalty some one who will fili the important office vyith credit to himself and the city. A good man, competent in;ev ery respect for the office, and capable of filling it with ability and dignity, is all that is wanted. Such a man can be iad, and let us have him with out breeding dissentions and trouble Amongkiurselves. - Personal Intelligence. ' 7 f Gen. R. F.
