ward, W. j. Kelly was nominated. :,
We stated before that Mr.. Naylor had
scoop" OH the delegates to the city
convention for Mayor This was true,
and had he permitted his name to have
gone before the convention, he would,
undoubtedly, have been the nominee,
but owing 10 business matters-the iail'
ure OF competent gentlemen to take
his place in his large news depot and
notions and family goods establishment
he was compelled 10 decline, and so
informed the delegates, who were elected
in his interests, early on the morning OF
the day of the convention. He would
have made competent Mayor. III Is
but Justice to make this explanation OF
the reason of his withdrawal. In Mr..
Criswell the people have a candidate
who, as a former Mayor, has "a fine record
on economy, backbone and executive
ability, and the Democrats are sanguine
of his election, though politics will
scarcely enter into the canvass. AS
workingman, il is claimed that he IL en-
titled to the suilrages OF the laboring
classes; as II man competent to render
sound legal decisions, he Is championed
by his friends; as one who has rendered
signal services in saving Ia the city the
Public Square, and through his positive
stand on the entertainments OF Il railroad
corporation brought revenue to the
city treasury,-his friends believe he
will come out with large majority on
the 9th prox.

The walking match mas ended. and
Miss kittie sherman made her 80 miles
Just laps ahead oi the glass house aud
mill teams. The boys were heroic and
did the best they knew how. Ii was
reqired OF them that they make -
miles, and they went on the track at
three hour relieis. Ed. Mccormick and
John Stroble made the best time ever
made on our track, making a mile in o
minutes. Mr.. Mccormick ought TO
be u professional. He is only Ii years
Old, yet he possesses the most graceful
and squarest walk We ever saw. We
hope 10 see Ed. on the track whenever
We have u walk. Mr.. Stroble is also en-
titled 10 especial mention because he
stuck 10 the track for six steady niles,
and made remarkable time. The walk
was a success, and when your Wheeling
team wants 10 give us tussle, which
seems probable in the near future, We
will pit Mr.. Mccormick and the kenne-
dy boys against anything you can mus
ter.
