In our abSence from office, some person
who was known to our printer left for publ
cation Gas an advertisement a list OF tickets
for Mayor, Aldermen and Council, in all the
wards, with my name in the ticket Tor the 4tn
Ward. This was unauthorized by me, and
without my knowledge, until ! saw It ID my
paper Of the 3Olh know not how my name
/ came 10 be placed there; and had seen
il before it went into the paper should have
left it out, not that would be unwilling to
serve my fellow citizens and the interest Of the
city in any way in which my humble capac-
ity would enable me, but because never have
held any Office in any, community but by the
free and unsought suffrage Of the members
neither do intend ever to press myself upon
any people. | desire them to be the judges
when and how may serve their interests.


The objection have to my name being
placed in my own paper us, that in the alb
sence Of evidence to me that the people wish
y it, il would seem as though was pressing
myself upon them. This disayow.


With this explanation, shall conclude by
saying shall use no efforts to be elected but
as my name has been announced without my
agency, if the people wish it, and so deter
mine, so let it be. shall not be disappointed
so much at failure as should at success. |
hope the decision Of the sovereign people will
result in the furherance Of the best interests of
our city. Ulysses Ward.
