Liberal Republican Convention, in asking
the Democratic Convention to reconsider
its action in nominating Johnston for
Mayor, that the Liberals have no other
ground for refusing to endorse johnson
than that he lacks popularity. 1t says 1t
may be demonstrated by the time the Lib
erals hold their adjourned session two
weeks hence, that be has more strength
than they give him credit for. If so they
should not hesitate to accept him. II, how
ever, they will not do this, the coalition
might as well be terminated. II expresses
the hope in conclusion, that wise counsels
and true appreciation of the Importance
of the contest will prevail to heal the breach.
The Commercial comedies the election
of Davis, Republican, though it says if the
Democratic Convention should, at IFS called
meeting o-morrow, nominate a straight
ticket, with as little discrimination as it
says the convention exercised yesterday, the
Republican ticket to be nominated hereat-
ter would be spoiled by bummers, In which
event the adjourned meeting of the Liber-
ais in two weeks, might be of the highest
consequence. At any rate, 1t says, the ad
journment affords good citizens chance to
get grasp upon affairs in addition to that
which they have been accustomed to enjoy.
