The Republican Candidate For Clerk—Charles Morlan.

We trust that the voters of Rensselaer will give careful consideration to every .candidate before they cast their votes. is one thing—good business government is another. The republicans placed efficiency aboye expediency in naming a city ticket, but considered from any angle there is every reason why Charles Morlan Should have been nominated and every reason why he should be elected. He is a capable officer, has filled the office for several years and has done it in a manner met the approval of the council and of all who have had buisness to conduct with him. When the council meets, he is right on hand with all records in the very best condition and with £vety duty assigned to” him performed. On the morning after the council meets all warrants are ready for those who, are to receive them and he can be found at the court house every week day of the year. Resolutions, ordinances and all matters entrusted to his care are punctiliously cared for. There is another important thing that should interest you, Mr. Voter. Mr. Morlan has always had to work for a living and he has been handicapped some of late years by poor health. This .has made the struggle hard for him but he has never faltered in his duties as court house janitor and city clerk and there is no higher tribute to pay to any citizen by the public than to recognize his honest service by continuing him in office. If Mr. Morlan was your personal clerk and had performed his duties satisfactorily you would retain him in your employ, and he is, in a sense your clerk, and you will be only fair to him if you give him your vote. Look at his clean books, view his clean and industrious life from any angle and you will find him worthy of your suffrage.
