i 1ne N0nlldLlnR conventions OF both par
ties have done remarkably well in the mat
ter Of the candidates for Aldermen, especial
II the Republican. ARTHUR DIXON is the
Republican, and JoHS TrnnEL1 the Demo-
cratic candidate in the First Ward, aud
both gentlemen are personally unexception-
| able. The only regret is that both cannot be
| elected DIXON has had experience, and
| proved himself au able, faithful, useful, and
| honest Alderman. AID. BALLARD, who is
| q frst~class man, has been nominated
By the Republicans for reelection in the
Second Ward, and tho Democrats will
make no opposition to him. In the Third
Ward Alr. CLARK is the Republican, and Mr.
SEEBERGER tho Democratic candidate, and
both are men of high personal and business
character. In the Fourth Ward the Demo-
crats will not have any capdidate, Mr.. GRAN
Ms, the Republican nominee, being entirely
satisfactory to everybody in the ward. There
uaSo been no Republican candidates named
in the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Wards. The
contests in those wards will be between the
Democrats and Socialists. Mr.. RYDER, q
new man in politics. is the Democratic NOM
lnce in the Fifth Ward. Mr.. CUnnAS, who
is represented as an intelligent and respect
able property-holder, is the candidate in the
Sixth Ward, and A1r. R1oRDAN, who has been
q fairly crsditabla member of the present
Council, is tho candidate in the Seventh. :
In the Eighth Ward, JIMMY O'Bn1ES, q some
what notorious hummer of the Council in mast
years, is again q candidate, aud the Republic
aus have nominated Mr.. O. w. BARRETT,
the well-known insurance agent, with strong
hopes of electing him. He will receive large
support from the more respectable portion OF
the Democratic party. The contest in the
Ninth Ward Will be between AIr. RICHARD
JONES, for many years engaged in the paper
hanging business, Republican, and J1u
PEEvET, dealer in meats. JONES is much the
best man for the place. Both parties have
yet to nominate in the Tenth Ward In the
Eleventh Ward ar. GEORGE B. SWIFT, and
in the Twelfth A1r. ]. D. EVERETT, two first
class citizens, nrs the Republican candidates.
and Will have no organized opposition. Aid
fHoNrsoS, who has been such an excellent
member from the Thirteenth Ward during
the last two years, is the Republican candi- |
date Tor reelection in that Republican |
ward, and should be reelected without fail. |
We do not know anything OF his opponent. |
In the Fourteenth Ward 5fRE RYAN. the !
present Democratic Alderman, is candidate |
for reelection, aud LEWIS MARTIN is the Re-
publican; but the probabilities are TINT the
candidate, not yet named, will
be elected There is danger of a like result
in the Fifteenth Ward, where JoHs G. EsDEns
is tho Republican, and AD MEYER the
Democratic candidate. 3fr. ESDERs is first
lass citizen, and there ought to have been
! union of both parties in his support,
he ward being Republican. MIR. W1L1Au
STEWART, the Republican candidate in the
sixteenth Ward,-the well-known wholesale
;rocer,-w have no Democratic opposition,
nd SHOULD bs elected over the Communist:
Id. JAsssESs, Republican, is q candidate
or reelection in The Democratic Seven
eenth Ward, and Mr. E. P. BARRETT
; the Democratic candidate. The Repub-
icau candidate in the Eighteenth Ward,
ZEN. CHET1A1S, and the Democratic, l1r.
WILLIAM G. MCCORMICK, one Of the owners
/ Mccormick Hall, are both acceptable to
hc voters Of the ward generally.
These are the Aldermanic nominations so
Ar as made, not Including those to be named
; the Communists. Without going into de-
ails at this time, we may congratulate the
