The Convention was one of tn
largest and most harmonious eve
assembled in this city. Nearly one
thousand voters were present.
Quite a number of the Democracy
were present, who were evidently dis
appointed In the proceedings of TIT
Convention. They hoped to see
split up and divided, but in this the,
were badly deceived. There neve
was a Convention held in this city il
which the nominations were so har
moniously made, and it is an evidenc
that the Republican party of Evans
vile is moving forward, in a solid un
; broken column, to capture the enc
my's works and put their veto on tn
t bad management and corruption o
t the present City Government. A
, men who have the real welfare of tn
city at heart will be found battliD
with the Republican party in the com
ing election, and we confidently ez
: pect the ticket nominated last nigh
will be triumphantly elected by
large majority.
