ALAS! POOR WALLACE
For the position OF keeper OF the

way, General Alexander Wallace Mr..
Haberfield nominated j. L Hays and
Mr.. Robinson named John Arthurs. A
ballot was then proceeded to and

pulled him through. A pair OF ballots
became necessary, and at the close OF
the second that leg took hold and the
changing was rapid. At the end Ar
thurs had SO votes, with the remainder
scattered about.
With the

OF the name did not deter the candidates
and fifteen OF them came to the front.
They were: A. S. Radiord, Richard A.
Burd, William Gardner, Msgnus
Long, p. Mahoney, X. d. Cline,
James Healey, Thos. Fox, j. NJ. Short,
Thos. Carney, Thos. Denny, l. +. Sad

Sullivan. The struggle was severe and
three ballots were necessary to decide 1t.
At first Wier and Short doomed up, and
then dropped. Finally, on the third
ballot, the Republicans centred on Rad
ford and the Democrats on Fox, the
former winning by the party strength
of q to 20.
