THFc CITY CONVENTIONS the
call of the Central Committee, the Re
publicans OF this city met at the Court
House on Friday evening oflast week,
and put in nomination the following
ticket:
For Mayor-Dr. Z. r. Geary.
Recorder-E. B. Purdom.
I'reasurer-W Colwell.
Marshal-Wm. Riley.
Councilmen-Jo Conner, John
Briggs. S. E. Young, w. III. Kuhn, G.
NJ. Cartwright and NJ. NJ. Harvey.
Messrs. Kuhn, Briggs and Van
Cleve were selected to perform the d,l-
ties devolving upon a Central Commit
tee the ensuing year.
The meeting was largely attended,
and very harmonious.
On Monday, at the earnest request of
DR.. Geary, the Committee Withdrew
his name as candidate for the Mayor
ality, and placed the name OF our es-
teemed fellow citizen, J. +. Backensto,
in his stead.
On Saturday evening last, our DEM
ccrs,tic friends held their convention,
and after much tribulation and the
largest vote ever polled by the same
number of voters, succeeded in getting
up the following ticket
For Mayor-Rev. A. w. Sweeney.
Recorder. r. Herren.
MarShal-.J. ID. May.
Treasurer-C. G.. Kuhn.
Councilmen-A. Hackleman, Allen
Parker. G. A. Hill, J. z. Grouse, Leo
Fox and G. NJ. Cartwright.
THE RESULT.
Monday proved decidedly inclement,
and as consequence a full vote was
not polled. The old wheel-horses OF
Democracy were on hand, despite the
wind and weather, and every man
that could be induced to vote, no mat
ter where he hailed from, was put
through i'll good shape. Republicans
"scratched3 with a looseness seldom
| equaled and never surpassed, In conse-
uuence of which the ticket put in nom
ination by them was defeated. The
result is great surprise to the Denoc
racy, as they had no hopes of electins
a single man on the ticket, knowing
that the Republicans have a majority
| in the city of from fifteen to twenty.
/ five votes. We see no practical goo6
sense il, a party going into convention
nominating men for office by large ma
/ jorities, and then on the day of election
working and voting against them. |
