Trouble AMONG CANDtDATEs.-A call
appears in our advertising columns for
meeting this evening Of the candidates
who were before the recent Democratic
City Convention, and who were not noni-
mated. Itseems that there Il trouble In
the camp on account Of the way
the convention was organized and en-.
gincsred, particularly III regard to The
basis Of representation adopted, 1t
IL claimed that injustice was done
in parceling out the vote Of the different
wards in the convention. For instance,
Il IA set forth that while the First Ward,
which cast 62l votes at the city election
in 1873, was allowed 300 votes In the con.
yention, the Second Ward, which cast
5O2 votes at the same election, waS only
allowed 17s as votes. It Is further set
forth that the Third Ward, which cast
only 5lV votes In 1878, was allowed SOS
votes In the convention; that the Fourth
Ward, which cast 544 votes, WIS allowed
s7s yotes that the Fifth Ward, which
cast 432 votes, was allowed 273 totesj that
the Sixth Ward, which cast 600 votes.
was allowed only 4O3 that the Seventh
Ward. which cast 2Tsyotts, was only al
lowed iis In the Conventiont and that The
Eighth Ward, which cast 542 votes, was
only allowed POS votes in the Convention
These allowances. 1t Is claimed, were
disproportioned and unfair. The ques'
tion is asked, why should there be this
inequality In the ratlo..of representation
Without gdihg into particulars, we
presume the answer Is because Of the dis
proportion Of the Democratic vote ihthese
wards at the last election. Aswe Under.
stand Il, the vote last fall between Doctor
Logan and MI Pannell was made the
basis Of representation in the Conven-
tion, due allowance having Httt been
made for the fact that the vote was
by districts instead Of wards. Whether
this vote last Fall would give the exact
figures allotted to each Ward in The late
Convention Is more than we can decide at
this moment, but the presumption Ia that
they are at least approximately correct.
still It might be we'll for the Democratic
brethren to call an other Convention and
nominate another ticket. One ticket in
the field looks lonely and monotonous,
and large number Of people would be
glad to have more latitude in the way Of
choice.
