Union men last night that. JAMES
SWANSON was nominated for Council

suit their interests and the good of
the city by electing him. ea
1t will be seen that JOHN A. REITZ

Wonderful Exhibition Of Patriots m!

1t will be remembered that the cop
perheads called Convention last
week, to saomi,,ate = city ticket for
city officers; but when the meeting was
called, the pressure, on the part of
the candidates, against a nomination
was so great that the meeting adjourn
ed without action-postponing the
question till the Union Convention
should have made up its ticket. The
Democracy again assembled, on
Thursday night, but they could derive
little Comfort from the action of the
Union Convention-its ticket being
composed of such unexceptionable
men, there was no possible hope of
defeating it by an open party contest.
So they become wondrously patriotic,
and so greatly !" prefer the good of
the people to party, that they adopt
ed the following:9oas o.s.ss5, ssafif s.
IE Resolved, That in the present crisis of our
growing citys PROSPERITY, ana h ,n view e 81

| The evening Democratic paper, the

the adoption of the patriotism res
