The Republican Nomination Election for
city officers took place on Saturday. The
day was excessively warm, but the contest
between rival candidates lacked none of its
wonted spirit on that account. Less than
one thousand votes were polled. The present
Observation-Disclosures Valentine-was re-nomi-
mated for The Office of Mayor, as everybody
supposed lie would be, as he had no compeli-
tor In the race. lie is the most popular man
for that Office in the Republican party, and,
we are free 10 say, is deserving of it all. His
nomination will add great strength to the
Republican ticket.
For the Presidency Of the City Council,
William Candy has been placed upon the
ticket. MIR. Candy is an old resident and

Examined in the light of Saturdays action
the result of the Republican nomination
brings us to these conclusions:
First-That the Radicals are satisfied with
the present Executive branch of the city gov.

Secoad-rhat they are not satisfied with
the present Presidential head OF the Council,
and signihed their disapprobation of his of.

example OF their Conireres of the Fifth

From these indications, developed as thew
