;. M. MOORE FOR MAYOR,
The Remainder of the Ticket Nom
mated and the Convention
Adjourned.

At 10 O'Clock this morning Turner
Hall was filed with city politicians and
others to witness the struggle for the
places on the Republican ticket, from
that of Mayor to WnarImaster.
The attendance from the start was
large, and before the. call to order was
made the prospective ca ndidates were
as busy as bees, distributing their paste
boards and working to make themselves
solid with the delegates, of which there
were two hundred and sixty-'our. The
beautiful weather seemed to have an in
spring effect (beer didn't seem to now
with as much profusion as on similar oc-
casions) upon the crowd, and the best of
humor prevailed.
The Offices to be filed at the election
on the tirst Monday in April are as fol-
lows:
Mayor, City Solicitor, Treasurer, one
member of the Board OF Public Works,
one Judge OF the Superior Court, Police
Judge, Prosecuting Attorney OF the
Police Court, Director of the City In
tirmary and Wharimaster.
The personnel OF the Convention was
first class, and it was a subject OF re-
mark that some OF the city's best citi-
zens had been sent TO labor for the NOM
ination OF good, square popular ticket.
The usual amount of delay was ex-
perienced in seating the delegates
there being no mark OF distinction on
the chairs to enable the bewildered del
egate to find his placel and in cOnse-
quence it was nearly half an hour from
Inc time Geo. EN- & first raped tor 'or-
der" until quiet was restored by the
Sergeants-al- .rms, Frank Fake, Phil.
Emlg, j. G. Jacoby, j. McCaferty and
W. d. Mexican, Jr.

business, the names OF Hon. Benj
