rcnomination by acclamation.
"Mr. Knight has most worthily filled the position of our city's
chief executive, lie has borne himself with the dignity that
the office exacts, has given careful oversight to all the details
of administration and manifested a conscientious regard for
the welfare of our city. Mr. Knight brought to the office a year
ago an excellent knowledge of its affairs, to which he has greatly
added in the twelve months past. His able and business like
administration of affairs has won the approval of all our citizens,"
