Nearly everybody was surprised upon
reading the announcement made last even
ing that the city primary meetings for
making general nominations would be
held this evening. 1t looked SD much like
an attempt to take snap Judgment and
rush through some pre- arranged set-up
tina. deep dissatisfaction was expressed on
all sides. The official call did not reach
this Office until too late to make any cdi-
torial reference to the matter. Enquiry
this morning elected the tact that the
secretary, A. G. Welchans. had been di-
rected to publish the call ON Saturday,
which would have given three days notice.
The committee was convened in special
session this morning aud postponed the
primary meetings one week, general nom-
nations to be made on Tuesday evening
next, and the ticket to be settled on Fri
day evening, the third Of February.

GENTLEMEN-I have received your com
munication requesting me to allow INV
name to be placed in nomination for the
Office Of mayor. You have been correctly
informed that have been ilisinclined to
be a candidate for reelection, and had re-
solved under no circumstances to seek
nomination for this office. Only the mum
Der and weight Of the names attached to
your letter, expressing in such highly corn
plimentary terms your appreciation Of my
labOrS to secure honest, efficient aud
economical city government" could induce
me to overcome the personal objections
which feel to entering into another can.
vass for the Office to which the partiality of
my fellow citizens has twice called me.
You have kindly alluded to what YOU
arc pleased to call spec al features of my
administration that "have recommended
its continuance to popular favor" | may
be allowed to recall the fact that in nv
election to council and twice to the may
crafty of the city, have recognized rather
the vindicatiOn of the true principles Of
good municipal government and approba-
tion of MY efforts to enforce them than any
personal preference for myself. If it shall
therefore seem to majority of my fellow
citizens that the continued supremacy of
those principles may be better assured BY
my candidacy than otherwise, am will
ing to allow my name to be again
placed in nomination. 1t must, however.
be with the distinct understanding that
am free from all pledges or obligations to
administer the office. if elected. otherwise
than as have endeavored to discharge its
duties in the past, " for the interests Of the
taxpayers and all classes Of citizens - for
no class can, in the end, fail to suffer from
anything else than honest, efficient and
economical city government Under these
circumstances am willing to allow my
name to go before that party which la,
previously made me it's candidate, and
before my fellow citizens, irrespective "f
party, who have heretofore with theig sui
frages approved my administration.
Renewing my thanks for the courtesy
and compliment with which your request
has been made am,
Yours truly,

lidity of a judgment OF 81 300, given. it
was alleged by Alexander Ewing to tho

he bradley pay tho indebtedness of tho
father. In the following May Alex
antler Ewing gave u Judgment of 300
to Philip ID. Baker in trust ior the
defendants. The Judgment WIS ent.rod,
and the amount was realized out OF Alex
ander EwinSs property. At that time
the Plaintiffs Judgment had not been en-
tered. When the auditor WAS about t.,

to prevent Plaintiff obtaining anything on
his Judgment. The jury, under the direc-
ton Of the court, rendered verdict in

show satisfactory proof Of what they al
legged.
