A CoNvENTIoN.-Ths multiplicity OF
candidates running for every ONCE within
the gift Of The City, 1t seems to Us, suggests
the necessity OF a Convention Of the people
to decide their claims. As the matter nov
stands, majority Of the people are almost
sure 10 be defeated in their choice, and there
is imminent danger of the election OF
incompetent men. We think that there
should be Citizens ticket, and il such is
fairly pat IN the ield. its triumph is sure
The Interests OF the City demand some such
action. and We urge prompt consideration
of our suggestions. The time is short: but
, the interests involved are vital.
