politics.
VANDALIA, ILL.,, May 49,
The Republicans on Saturday nominated
their Aldermen. Both the Republican
and Democratic city tickets are now
completed, and the struggle has begun.
While the Republicans are almost conii-
dent of winning, the Democracy Will
make such fight as was never made by
them before for division OF the loaves
and fishes. The temperance folks are
holding meetings nightly, and there IS
strong probability of their putting i'll
the field a candidate for Alderman
from each ward.

delphia, where he will meet Don Cameron,
