ONE OF the most interesting public
meetings ever held in this city con-
vened at CannOn's Hall Thursday
evening for the purpose Of electing
ticket to be voted upon next Tues
: day. The halipvas crowded with our
leading citizens, and all seemed bent
upon placing the very best material
isbefOre the people. The meeting was
'called7to ordet by Judge J. Hoover
and OnmOtion Judge Z. o. Weed
, was chosen Chairman. Upon taking
his seat Judge Weld made a short
but telling speech explaining the OBJ
j ject of the convention. Chas. Crel-
| len and Harry C. Hayward were cleo
I tted secretaries. On motion the con-
>vention proceeded to; nominate city
. officers in acc0rdanco.w with the pub
lished proclamation Of the Mayor.
Thedirst nomination to be made was
that Of Mayor. Jas. n. Glover, the
present incumbentwEss placed in
nomination and elected by the cast
ing vote Of the secretary amidst
great applause. Mr.. Glover was call
ed upon, but modestly refrained
from speech making. Z. B. Hyde

tically endorsed. For CITY Clerk

Hayward was nominated City Treas
urer by acclimatiOn. There were
two candidates for City Attorney,
Geo. NJ. Forester and Millard I.
Harrison, the latter being the choice
by vote Of 50 to 81. The question
Of nominating Aldermen for the va
rious wards at once came hefore the
body and started a lively and anima-
ted, discussion. A majority favored
the Immediate gathering Of the rep
reseIna0yes Of the four wards and a
completion Of the business in one
~evening, while some very warm chin
work ensued a motion to go into
ward caucus prevailed. The First
and Second wards could not settle
upon candidates, but the Third and
FOurth wards reported back to the
convention the names Of J. N. Sauier
and Simon Berg, as Aldermen for
the former ward, and A. N. Cannon
and Geo. T. Crane AZ Aldermen from
the latter ward we consider that
the convention made good, wise Sc
lections, IN this Instance, and we feel
confident that the ticket will be cleo
ted by large majority next Tues
aay. Our space prevents leRgthy
notice of the labOFs of the body and
we can only add a brief sketch Of
the candidates so far chosen:
JAS. N. GLOVER,
The nominee for Mayor needs no in
PRODUCTION from us. He might be
called the father Of Spokane Falls,
having lived here so long. He has
held the office for the past year, and
has performed the duties to the sat
isfaction of the public. He is a lib
erll, genial gentlemIn, and a pro-
gressive and public-spirited citizen.
Frank and fearless he will exercise
his authority to the best advantage
Of the city and the people thereof.

The nominee for Marshal has held
the office for the past two years,
serving most of the time without
compensation. He is II very popu-
lar young man, one Of our heaviest
property holders, and a fine 'ellOw
any way you take him. Marshal

ready and prompt in the exercise of
his duty. Eugene will go into Office
