Drhe republicans met in squads at
the ward headquarters last evening, and
although the usual interest was wanting
they concluded to put up candidates for
the aldermenship, even though there is
no possible chance for their election. Com
mencing with this view it is not to be won
dered at that they were unable to induce
good men to accept their nomination, and
that they were compelled in the first ward
to indorse Peter Peterson, the nationals
candidate, a solid democrat in important
issues, and in the other wards to take up
men of inferior qualifications. Their can
didates are: Peter Peterson, first ward ;
Peter Hansen, second ward; Frank Kerns,
third ward; and II. A, Barnard. fourth
ward.
