nominate a good ticket, and the others can do
as they please. The withdrawal Of Mayor
Kalloeh from the canvass has somewhat
altered the plans of the managers os both the
Democrats aud Workingmen. Had Kalloch
remained in the field a combination of
the two parties wonll undoubtedly
have been made, with Kalloch for Mayor,
Desmond sor Sheriff and Damn for Auditor
The Democracy could have swallowed all
three, as they belong t, that party naturally.
