Republican Nominations for
Council.


More good nominations were made
for the City Council last Saturday by
the Republicans, and nearly all that
were made are sure of election. In the
Second Ward Amos A. Eastburn, a mer-
chant on the South side was nominated
for the two year term, and for
the one year term, Leighton Grimes
on the north side was nominated. These
are good business men and popular
with the people. The Second Ward
has always been for the last fifteen
years, one of the Democratic strong
holds but gradual change has been
going on until it has become debatable
ground between the two parties and
bad nominations on the Democratic
side makes the election of tie Demo-
cratic ticket very doubtful. The con-
test in the Second Ward will be hard
one, and the Republicans may expect to
hear all kinds of bad things said un-
truthfully about their nominees, in or
der to bring them, if possible, down to
a level with the other candidates, but
they must not believe them. Messrs.
Eastburn and Grimes are good candi-
dates, understand fully the business
needs of the city and will make good
cCuncilmen.
In the Fifth Ward, f. B. +. Miller, a
popular stove merchant on Second
street ard wlo resides at Eighth and
Franklin, was unanimously nominated.
Though there are many Republicans i'll
the Fifth Ward, who would make first
class councilmen, we know of none who
W ould fill the bill better than Mr.. Mil
Ter, and unless the Democrats vote a
couple of hundred repeaters in the
Ward, his election is assured, and Mr.. |
Carmichael, who for two years and
nine months has been occupying seat
to which he was never honestly elected
will be given leave TO retire.
In the Sixth Ward David Stevenson,
was nominated. He is a we'll known,
active and intelligent Republican, well
versed in the business affairs of the
city. He will make an active and use.
ful member Of the City Council.
In the Seventh Ward the contest was
spirited between Levi Garrett and
Samuel Chambers, both CT the West
End to which the nomination was con
ceded. Mr.. Garrett was nominated by !
a small majority in large vote for
City Council nomination. Mr.. Garrett
resides in McDowellville in the midst
of a fast improving section of the city.
He eispopuar with the people and will
make an active and safe councilman.
No one doubts his election by large
majority.
With the exception of the Tenth
Ward, which is conceded to the Demo-
Gratis, the Republican nominations for
council have been made and are before
the people of their respective wards for
their judgment. The First Ward pro
sents William Miller for two years and
Samuel Fl. Bay nard for one year; the
Second Ward, Amos A. Eastburn for
two years and Leighton Grimes for one
year; the Third Ward, Thomas John.
son for two years and Charles H. Groves
for one year; the Fourth Ward, Will
liam Turner; the Fifth Ward, F.B.F.
Miller; the Sixth Ward, David Steven
son; the Seventh Ward, Levi Garrett:
the Eighth Ward, Lewis T. Grubb; the
Ninth Ward Joseph G. File; the Tenth
Ward, no nomination, and in the Elev.
phth Ward, William r. Croney for two
years and John Davis for one year.
These are all new men fresh from the
people, ncne of them being re-nomina-
ions and only two Of them ever having
,een members of Council. The excep-
lions are Thomas johnson of the Third
Ward, who served several years from
the old First Ward, and Joseph G. File.
who served the balance of an uneypired
term from the Ninth Ward. The whole
ticket Is worthy of the support of every
and should receive It.
