Governor Seymour and Judge Bronson have
declined nomination, and they will both re-
tire to the sweets Of private life, allowing the
hards and softs to fight it out among them
selves The state of feeling is such that at the
present time it is impossible to say how they
will go to work or who they will nominate.
There will be highly interesting contest at
the city election. Last year the pseudo-re-
formers carried everything before them, and
promised to do the most extraordinary things
for the city. They have done nothing at all,
and our citizens have been obliged to sweep
their streets with their own house-brooms. 1t
is to be hoped that the people will put no more
trust in committees or other humbugs, but
come out boldly in support of their own candi-
dates, whether it be for Mayor, Aldermen,
Councilmen, City Judge, Recorder, or Register
Some Of the partisans have already CON-
menced agitation in favor Of their friends. A
great many people are talked about" for
prominent stump candidate, and If he will
come out and announce himself as q candi-
date he will receive hearty support from
many citizens He is enterprizing, sharp
witted and vigorous, good specimen of
young America. Among the persons likely to
receive the wing nomination we hear the names
of Daniel Lord, counsellor, George Peckham
(of the house Of Emo, Roberts & Co.. Nathan c.
Ely, president of the Board Of Aldernen) ex-
Sheriff Thomas Carnley, and zophar Mills, Pre-
sident of the Fire Department Association. If
Mr.. Mills gets the whig nomination he expects
that the wing temperance and fremen vote will
elect him. Among the democrats nominated
we hear the names Of Senator Barr and Timothy
DAILY on the hard shell eide. The softs talk
about almost everybody, but both of these par
ties have done nothing but talk during the last
few months.
Abraham RUSSELL Esq, will be supported by
the native as well as other interests for the
post Of City Judge. he is able and competent
