responsible positions of Aldermen. None

brief sketch of whom we give below.
For the Aldermen of the First Ward, the
Democratic City Convention have presented
the names of J. E. Galloway, T. b. Elder

1852, He is native of the State of Ohio
and came to this country at an early day.
In 1852 he became member of the highly
respectable firm of Garst, Galloway IL Co.,

long time. Some changes have taken
place in the firm, and it is now known as the
firm of Galloway, Hite Co., Dr. Garst hav'

served two or three terms as an Alderman
and has won much honorable distinction in
that capacity as an efficient and useful Rep

been known as an Old Line Wing, until the
Douglas issue arose, when he unhesitatingly
declared himself in favor of Popular Sover-
eighty and became a Douglas Democrat

future can be. His merits are recognized by
the people and no ordinary man will beat
him

longs to that class of men who have hewed
their own way to fortune and position under
our free Democratic institutions. poor
orphan boy, he went in 1887 to what is now
known as Burlingtoa, Iowa, but what was
then included, we believe, in the limits of
what was designated as the Wisconsin Ter
rtory. There he obtained a clerkship which
supported him quite respectfully, but soon
after apprenticed himself to timer in the
town who soon instructed Kim in the arts
and mysteries of the trade Having acquired
a complete knowledge of his trade he started
out on his own hook" and accumulated
some means. In 1852 he came to California,
and has been here ever since. During the
whole time he has been engaged in the tin
business, and has always been able to make
money, despite his series of misfortunes, it
having been his lot to be burnt out complete
| ly in the three great fires which have swept
over Marysville. He is man of family and
thoroughly identified with the interests of
the city Mr.. Elder has been until the Doug
las issue arose an old Henry Clay Wing, but
is now a sound and true Douglas Democrat.
We have but little doubt of his triumphant
election
Mr. Otis is a gentleman of whom the city
has reason to be proud, as one of her most
intelligent energetic and useful citizens. He
is native of Maine came to California in
1851; bought ship and engaged in the

business, and is universally esteemed by his
numerous acquaintance. Mr. Otis is an Old
Line Democrat.

1850, and has been resident of this city,
most of the time, since April of that year.
His occupation is that of dealer in iron,
and he is an industrious and able business
man. In politics he was an Old Line Wing
Since the disorganization of that party, he
has not identified himself with any organiza
ton whatever until recently, when, the ques

by Stephen A. Douglas having arisen, he
proclaimed himself Douglas Democrat
He voted with the Douglas Democracy in
the last general election and is still a firm
and steadfast friend of Popular Sovereignty
