For City Marshal.

The old original Ohiw. Platt is » candidate for marshal, subject to the Republican city convention. I was city marshal in 1881, 1882 and 1884. In 1882 I made a macadamized road One-half mile long from the court house to the depot 16 feet wide for 1331, and in the winter of 1884 the snow was 10 inches deep on the level and drifts from 3 to 4 feet deep. I invented three snow plows, two for the side walks and one for the middle of the .road I started one of the plows in the morning to Rabbit’s Reserve, another to Leopold’s addition and the third to the depot, and then all over town. All the side walks were cleaned by 9 o’clock in the mprninff and our children all went to school that morning. See what I have done for you. lam an expert on streets and roads, and can save you money and make your taxes lower. Your support is earnestly solicited.. Charles Platt..
