NOMINATIONS. Thirty or forty gentle
men of Conservative politics met in
Exchange Building yesterday afternoon,
and placed in the field the following city
ticket
For Mayor-A. T. Lacey
For ollector-Martin Kelly.
For fmaster-Robert Good.
For Street Commission = Ed. X.
Herman.
While there can be no objection to
the gentlemen chosen, the body pre-
senting them cannot be regarded as a
Convention representing the Conserva'
tive or any other party in Memphis.
Everything seemed to be irregular. The
candidates were not required to pledge
themselves to support the nominees
as they would have been had
regular Convention been held;
all the members of even the
meager ward delegations were not
present when the nominations were
made; and the whole affair can be re-
garded as simply an expression of the
personal preference of the gentlemen
who, in the FIRST place called and held
