FIRST of January He had his particular reasons for
not wishing to become candidate again for his pre-

administration portion of the wings, is now on the
course for Recorder The silver grays keep mum.

DISAPPOINTMENT, as the wings knew that the OF
his name would add great strength to their ticket
and might be the means of electng it. BY his de-
clenson they are at sea again. Several other
names are mentioned but as yet no one seems will
ing to take the nomination, contribute a thousand
dollars or So when their chances not more than
even. 1t is not probable that candidate will be
agreed upon before Monday or Tuesday.
The democrats made their nom nations to-day.
They selected their candidate for Mayor, Mr..
Eli Perry, the present incumbent. During the
time, since April last, that he has performed the
duties Of the office, he has been vigiiant chief
gistrate Of this city. The citizens generally ap-
plaud him for the ability and mpa rtality which he
has displayed. He has called down upon his head
the vengeance Of many gangs Of canal runners, His
course, in connection with that Of Mayor Wad3-
worth, of Buffalo, and Mayor Kingsland. of New
York, in endeavorng to break up the robberies of
those villanous land sharks, has rendered him pecu

selves in 20 clubs, corresponding through the whole
Inc Of emgrant travel, and raising funds from for
warding merchants in their interest, to be spent in
his city with the intention of defeating Mr.. Perrys
election.
The democratic candidate for Recorder, Mr. NJ.
A. Young, is a young man OF good standing, and
possesses a host Of friends, ald his acqaaintances
pledge him qualified for the station. There is
vide difference in the morality and associations Of
The two candidates for Recorder, which is about the
1nly difference between them. They are both
young meu-rather SO, for the station but their
!egal qualifications about par with each
other. IL the silver grays take interest for the
shg candidate, the will be avery doubtful one.
The other nominations. worthy Of notice, are the
candidates for police justices John o. Cole, who
las held the Office for IN any years. is again in no mi
nation by the democrats His Gle ,tion is conceded,
As he is useful officer here Mr. M,tsell is in
New York, for his long experience gives him a

Gems which they resort TO, when caught in their
Expectations upon the public. Mr.. Parsons, who
las been associated with Mr. Cole some three
gears, is in nomination by the wings He is also
worthy officer. 1t is probable that the voters Of
his city will retain the services of both.
For Senator of thi, district, the wings have Sc

possesses some qualities which will tend to push
lin forward and others that will Tetard his pro-
