the consequent impression that elements of

an increased caution on the part of the Execu-

The fall campaign in local politics was duly
inaugurated last evening on the part of the
Democracy, with whom, OF course, are to be
counted the magnificently small number of
Johnsonized Republicans with which this COM
munity is blessed. The first thing TO, be done
was the selection of delegates to no less than
fifty different conventions, for which purpose
polls in each precinct, even where the Demo-
cracy and their friends scarcely reach the
dimensions of a corporals guard in point of
numbers, were kept open from o'clock In the
afternoon until s o'clock in the evening. It
having been already settled that General Peter
Lyle was to be the candidate for Sheriff, that
gentleman received very heavy and hattering
understood that General Balller was the
favorlte candidate for City Commissioner.
aspirants VINO were willing to sacrifice
their personal interest for the good of
the public at large. and therefore quite an ami
mated contest took place. In several of the
Legislative districts the contest between the
rival candidates was extremely animated; this
Senatorial, and Third, Thirteenth, and Fif-
teenth Representative Districts, in all of which
considerable confusion prevailed. The meeting
of the judicial Convention was fixed for 2
o'clock this afternoon, but with this single ex-
ception the time of meeting was 10 o'clock this
morning.
The Third District Senatorial Com
VentIOn
made desperate attempt to get together at ten
o'clock, the place of meeting being the third
story of Ladner's Military Hall, No 532 N. Third
street. But no sooner had temporary organi-
zation been effected than IL was discovered that
a great number of seats were contested, and il
required long time and an immense amount OF
talking to settle their dificulties, before a per
manent organization could be effected and the
regular work of the day commenced in earnest
Meanwhile, the saloon below, and the sidewalks

dates, and sundry lookers-on, who
considered the occasion fitting one for regu

tion was aquadrangular one, the rival aspiranti
for senatorial honors being Charles M, Dono
van, David Nagle, George Quigley, and James
