R&FURL1GAN CITY NOMINATIONS s.
The Republican ticket put in nomination
yesterday stands q lair chance Of being elected
without opposition. It would be the height
Of folly for the CopperAcads to pns up can
. dates in the expectation Of electing any Of
them. and few men care about running for
the mere pleasure Of being defeated. II The
Cops, however. for the sake of maintaining
their party organization, conclude to bring
out ticket, NC predict that 1t Will he beaten
d worse than my previous Copperhcad ticket
IN Chicago.
The Convention was composed Of an iutel-
Hgent, straightforward, body Of delegates.
vcry few of whom had axes to grind. The
ruling motive among them was to nominate
the best men who would eonsent to run for
the various Offices. There was less "lobby-
Ing" less bargaining and selling, less1og-roll-
Ing than We have witnessed In Chicago
convention OF either party for ten years.
The adoption Of the uiua uoce system Of vot-
Ing for candidates Was wise and manly pro-
ceeding. 1t enables the rank and file Of the
party to know whether their delegates re-
hccted their views or sold them out. It will
put a stop to the practice which has pre-
vailed, Of paying delegates for voting for this
candidate or agaiust that one. 1t viii tend
to keep cor1upt men out Of conventions, and
to induce honest men to oct as delegates.
The Republican candidate for Mayor. MI

#orthiest citizens; q man Of spotlese purity

Wil1 do all That lies In his power
to protect the property. Of taxpayers from
spolIation, and to keep spectators and pecu-
1ators away from the City Treasury. The

vestigated the more satisfactory thoy will ap-
pear, Let those who are not personally &C.
qraintod with him inquire what sort Of man

Will be informed that no better man can he
