AT eight o'clock the meeting was called TO order,
and Alderman Benson elected to preside.
Mr. HENRY f. DAVIS, the chairman of the
Nominating Committee, hcreupon delivered the
report of that body, and recommended that
VIM. V. Brady and Joseph r. Taylor be elected

His unwavering devotion TO the wing cause,

port OF the nominating convention, when aa we
spect like all documents OF the kind: The
amount of it was, that under wing adminlstra-
tons the city expenses have always been consid-
crably less than under loco toco administrations,
and if Mr.. Brady and Mr.. Taylor are as good
men as they were therein represented, they would
undoubtedly make the best officers eVAT elected
in this city. There is one item, however, which
is worth mentioning, and that is as the address
sets forth, that in three years the expenses OF the
city increased S473,2l6 90. If this sum increas-
ed in the same ratio for 20 years-the report
stated the expenses of the city at the end OF that
time would amount to two and a half millions OF
dollars.
After the reading of the report, there were
many calls for Mr. Hall and MIR. Hoffman, but
neither OF these gentlemen made their appear
