The WING Nominations.

nominations, and now stand ready and willing
for the approaching political battle. The NOM
nations made in their conventions are such as
will demand the best men and the most Jealous
labors Of our democratic friends. Through the
entire list which they present, one cannot find
any other than men of standing, intelligence,
energy, and experience in the affairs of the city.
A. D. Crossman, at present Mayor of the
city Of New Orleans, is nominated for reelection
to the same post. His long experience in city
affairs gives him all the aptness of habit and
thorough information in their control. and he
has SO long held position as Mayor of the
whole city as to be entirely uninvolved in any
sectional preiudices or suspicion. BY pursuits
a mechanic, he has large share of the sympa-
thies of the people, who appreciate man, who,
working at his trade or standing at the head of
the government Of a wealthy and populous city,
is always the same in his quiet and unpre-
tending department, That Mr. Crossman is a
self made man, and owes nothing to wealth or
toinfuential connections, will always be a strong
card il his favor.
Divide Delays is nominated for the Comptrol-
Ter, and VIM. i'll. Garland for Treasurer. The
former has experience as Comptroller of the First
Municipality; the latter, also, has experience
es Treasurer of the Second Municipality, and
both are thereby we'll prepared for the satisfac
tory discharge of the duties Of their respective
offices. We have never yet met any one who
would attempt to show that either of them had
given the least evidence of incapaeity or I'M
faithfulness in their responsible and onerous
labors. Both gentlemen have a host of devoted
personal friends; frank courtesy Of manner; a
reputation for energy and intelligence; and with
the young men of the city, their popularity is
almost unbounded. With the young wings, the
active and unselfsh mass Of the party, they are
both special favorites
Ia s. Pile, the candidate for Surveyor, and Mr.
Jolles, the candidate for Street Commissioner,
are reputed to be energetic and competent men,
+ with much personal popularity.
This IL the ticket the wings present, to be
voted fosby the city at large; and in their Sc
! lection Of candidates they seem to have fully
kept in view the necessity Of nominating first
rate men, The wings have some good auguries
to cheer them in entering upon the contest At
the last election they were overwhelmingly VIC
torious; and their triumph was mainly owing to
