The only objection made to Mayor Mathews
for reelection is that it would be his third
term. Mr.. John g Proctor, who made an

also been asserted that the police are working
for Mayor Mathews Such, it is assured, is
not the case. Judge Nurdock would be as
acceptable TO them as Mayor Mathews. II

round, and quite an exciting one, too. The
Democrats hold their convention on Tuesday

Thursday evening for the same purpose.
