Mayor Addresses Persecution in Wilkesbarre

Wilkesbarre March 21 May or Nichols of this city who will vacate his office the first Monday in April is sued a remarkable address to the citizens. He says I am not endowed with certain elements of character now necessary to fill the office of mayor. The average ratio of applicants to each office I have supplied has not been less than six to one. Hence I have made 205 appointments, the number of those disappointed is 1025. Of these unsuccessful candidates their relations and intimate friends probably at least 0 per cent are my enemies ever seeking to impugn my motives to defeat efforts on my part. Never having entertained such malice I know not how to overthrow it or combat it in others. From the persecution of this prompter to deeds of devilishness the only deliverance available to me is the humble and obscure sphere in which I lived before the beginning of my official career.
