THE CITY PRESS ON THE TICKET.
IThe Commercial, Rcp.1

The Republican city ticket is not an ideal
ticket, but ii is good one. The fagrantly
Objectionable material before the Conven-
ton was winnowed out-a surprising fact
when we consider the hold that the profes-
sionals of the wards have upon both parties
THE ENQUIRER, Dem.l
The Republican party has some elements
of strength that should not be ignored 1t
is necessary for the Democrats to nominate
the strongest possible ticket.
The Gazette, Rcp.l
The Convention set out to nominate GOOD
men, and it successfully carried through
that purpose. 1t has presented a ticket
which all Republicans can heartily support
The election contest in this city is to be
hard fought. The Democratic managers
recognize that only by nominating strong
men and using strong methods can they
hope to recover this city They recognize
that this is the opening skirmish for van
tage ground in the election Of President.
Their novel contrivance of nultitudinous
convention is alike to agtate the mass as
well as to make the great convention more
tractabie to the wires than one of the usual
number would be.
Republicans will have to content with all
'iot Nhb ''SiioNthllE IIluIldRGTS, Wltll tlelr
blind and bigoted masses. their thorough
organization, and outside aid, can do by
fair means, and all they can do by foul
means, organized by men pretending to
responsibility, and executed by the criminal
class
WHAT THE GERMAN PRESS SAY OF IT.
THE Volksblatt, Rep
One who is versed in the ordinary routine
u-1 .,f 40, -
doings of yesterdays Republican Conven-
ton could have been worse. 1t may also
be said that the Convention in reference to
several offices, could have turned out bet
ter by lar. The citizensand taxpayers have
every reason to be glad if both city tickets
do not turn out to be bad But this can not
be said of yesterdays ticket. One might
say that lawyers OF more experience should
have been put up for Judge of the Superior
Court and for Solicitor, (and in regard to
the latter We feel sorry over the defeat of
our present able Solicitor, NJ Bates, but
it can not be claimed that there is ANYTHING
offensive in the person, reputation and
character of the candidates. x 81
Yesterdays ticket is not an extraordinarily
strong one; nor is it of the other kind, but
it gives sufficient material for those who
like to fix up Il ticket OF their own. We
will only express our hope that the Demo-
Gratis will use every effort TO put up toll
erably lair ticket
The Volksfreund, Dem.7
The Republicans of Cincinnati have NOM
mated ticket which will, in all probabl-
ity, receive the entire party vote. For in
dependent voters there are plenty of names
to scratch, provided the Democracy puts
up a better ticket, which will not be a hard
thing for them to do, as there is 10 lack of
good material.
The Freie Presse, Rep.]
The Republican Convention at Turner
Hall yesterday was one of the most orderly
and respectable ever held here. %|
The first ballot decided the fight between
Moore and Jacob in favor of the latter.
This result was naturally hailed by the
friends of the successful candidate with
laundering applause. No one will dispute
that the nomination of Mr.. Jacob is a very
strong one. A self-made man in the true
sense OF the word, lie now ranks among our
most respected and influential citizens.
q Since the time of Ziegler and
Baum there has been no German Mayor
On this account the citizens, without re-
gard to party feeling, should unanimously
support Jacob and secure his election. As
to the other nominations, we would
especially praise that of Mr.. Setchel
for Police Commissioner. He not only pos
sesses all the ability required, but enjoys
the respect and confidence of all his fellow
citizens. He has been member of the Board
of Aldermen, and in that position always
looked after the interests Of the city and
his constituents.
The selection for City Solicitor is also
good one. Mr.. Kunler, the successful can
didate is one of our ablest, hard-working
and honest Young lawyers. His nomina-
tion by the Convention is worthy OF recog-
milton at the polls.
For Treasurer, Mr. Knorr, the present in
cumbent, was rendered the compliment Of
a denomination. He deserved ii, as his adj
iunistration was a model one.
Mr. Murphy was also given re-nomina-
ton for Police Court Prosecutor He has
filled his position TO every ones satisfac-
ton, especially so in cases where temper
once fanatiGism sought victims, end his con
duct was such as to deserve the recognition
Of all, especially the GermanS
To resume as to what has been said of the
candidates, we may feel justified in prophe-
sying that the whole ticket, which is good
one, will be elected.
