The Nominee OF the Washington
Convention.

The convention has done It's work.
and the stsfdard-bearer selected j. now
before the people. The nomination Is
such as will command the hearty and
cordial support OF all Democrats and
Conservatives. Hon. James ID. Williams
is too well known i'm this district TO re-
quire any special notice. He l. fully
identified with the people. and a. their
repres eniativc in Congress will guard
well their interests. lie has been for
many wears the trusted servant or the
people OF the State. and has in the long
course of his service established char
acter for honesty and incorrnpiibiliiy
lie will be elected by AN overwhelming
majority. and the man trotied out by the
Radicals against him will never know
wh"t struck him after thc election. -
While portion Of the Democracy Of
the district were opposed tn tho nomina-
tion OF Mr.. Williams. aud favored The
selection OF Mr.. Cobb. vet we have heard
of but one Democrat who said he would
not support Mr.. Williams. and this gem
tleman was not in favor OF Mr.. Cobb
either.
In all contests like the recent one ia
this district, there must Of necessity be
some bitter feeling engendered between
the friends OF the two opposing candi-
dates. but we are extremely glad 10 see
that after the action OF the convention
was declared. every man with whom We
lconyer>ed indicated his intention 90 vote
for Mr.. Williams. Notwithstanding they
worked cnergciically 10 prevent li-
nomination. We recognize the right of
Democrats TO oppose each other ia con
tests of this nature. Every man belong
ing 10 the party has right % a choice
inside the party, and furthermore has
the inaleusb!c right tc use all honorable
means TO sccnre the success Of the man
he prefers. This we assert Is the naiur-
Ial right. not only Of every Democrat
but OF every man. llHi when noniina-
ton is once made by a convention called
by the proper authority, and orranized
in accordance with the rules and u.a9c-
Of the Democgaiic party we sny

BROOKLYN BOND ROBBERY.
Reported Theft OF Bonds in the Comp
trOlier's Once.

There was . rumor current yesterday to the
effect that 1t had been discovered that about
$4,000 worth of Brooklyn city bonds were missing
from the Office OF the Comptroller. This report,
which spread rapidly, following so soon upon the
arrest OF Deputy Tax @ ollector Captain Gill, for
alleged embezzlement {, naturally caused consider
able excitement IL will be remembered that the
bond clerk OF the Comptrollers office, Mr.. Rudolph
kessler, was arrested in November last. on a
charge OF stealing two boulevard bonds OF the de-
nomination OF $1,000 each; that he was examined,
released In the sum OF $4,000 bail indicted by the
Grand Jury and dumped" ms bail since that time
ne has not been heard OF. The present excitement
was occasioned by the report that the otner day
man, who said his name was Frank, and that he
resided In Wythe avenue, Williamsburg, called at
the Nassau Bank and presented a number OF cou-
pOns Ior payment. The cashier of the bank dis
covered that the coupons belonged to missing
