Especial Telegram to TIE G1oBE.l
Both the representatives of the Democratic
and Republican parties held nominating
conventions yesterday, and the campaign is
now actively open. The dark-horse of the
Republican party, as will be seen by the re-
port on the third page, proved to be MI.
A: G. Rand, and the nomination is generally
conceded, even by the opposition element,
70 be the best that could have been made
MIR. Rand has not yery ex-
tensive acquaintance in the city, which
fact is often deemed an element
OF strength in candidates. It is believed
that had he been in the city he would not
nave accepted the nomination, but upon his
return the canvass will have been 80 far pro-
crossed as to make withdrawal impractic-
able and suicidal. AS was expected, the Dem
ocratic convention unanimously endorsed
the Workingmen's Union nomination of
Mr.. Glenn, which gives him a power
and supremacy in the canvass, which
will be very difficult if not impossible to
overcome. There was but very slight
showing OF opposition to his nomination in
the convention, it being confined to single
speech by Hon. VIM. Lochren. The Repub-
lican candidate for city comptroller. Mr.. W.
B. Hill, was Endorsed by the Democratic con-
vention, although very formidable element
was at work and nearly succeeded in nomi-
mating Mr.. Druckhammer, the candidate of
the Workingmen's Union. The Druck-
hammer supporters were the only dissatisfied
element that appeared last night, and al
though dire threats were made against the
outspoken supporters of Mr.. Hill in the con
vention, it is believed that better counsels
will prevail to-day, and that unanimity of
sentiment will be the result.
A rupture in either party or party comb
nations in the present campaign, would be
almost certain defeat to nominees. The
fight will be close one at best.
1t will be seen by perusal
of the reports that. each party
appointed conference committees to make
non-partisan nominations for members of
the school board. This action, it is believed
and hoped, will lead to good results. The
committee are to meet for nominations at
the board of trade rooms at 10 o'clock this
forenoon. Following is q detailed report of
the Democratic convention last night:

| THE MAYoRALTY.
Hon. E. NJ. Wilson stated the object of tn
convention, the officers to be elected, and con
cluded by recommending the final appointment
! of committee to consult with like commit
tees from the other parties with regard to tn
motion it was agreed to proceed to an informa
ballot for mayor. VIM. Lochren presented
the name of franklin Beeke for mayor. H
believed mayor could be elected from tn
Democratic party. Mr.. Glenn was alread,
nominated by one party, and Mr.. Lochren, i
Glenn was nominated, should not feel bount
by the action of this convention. If a new
nomination could not be made he should, o
the two, vote for Mr.. Rand.
DR.. Ames nominated for mayor NJ. W
Glenn, which motion was greeted with az
plause. DR.. Ames believed Mr.. Glenn's Den,
ocracy could not be questioned, and he wa
proud to present his name, and only wishe
tions.
Edward A. Stevens believed every delegat
had right to support whomsoever
chose, but questioned the motives of Mr.. Loci
rem in the nomination made. He believed
would also desire to force Hill for comptrolle
upon the convention.
Mr.. Lochren said he had not made confden
of Stevens, and he was not authorized to stat
his intentions. It was none of Stevens bus
ness what his intentions were. Laughter.)
Mr.. Wilson, the chairman, was glad to see
much of the old-time spirit and life. LAY
