oryTcOME OF THE CONVENTIONS

OCIC0ME Uf me
The outcome of the Democratic
Convention, yesterday, must ne one
highly satisfactory to the c.t'zens
Of Butte. The most excellent fee'lng
marked the proceedings, and M
delegates seemed to be actuated oy
but one motive to nominate the
best ticket possible. In this they
succeeded admirably. The TICKET
that heads this page speaks for Itself.
1t is composed Of some OF the oes'
me of Butte. 1t is a representative
ticket, recognizing all the Respectable
elements within the party, and all
sect ons of the city. 1t is the strong
EFT ticket that any party ever offered
to the suffrages of the people o tnls
city. The MINER believes it to De
invlncible. A sketch Of the career
of the men upon the ticket Will De
found elsewhere. Their lives are
laid open to the community when
they seek to serve. There Is Id
their lives nothing to be ashamed
of and nothing to De concealed
They are good, honest, straight
forward men, who have but one am
hition-the vel are Of Butte and the
health and happiness of her people.
They are liberal-minded, progressive
men. who have cast their fortunes
with the town and whose interests are
all with it. The prosperity of Butte
means their prosperity. High taxes,
souandered revenues, impossible
streets. filth-breeding alleys mean as
much karm and loss to the twelve
men upon the Democratic ticket as
TO apy twelve men that could be
named in tue city. Sel'-lnterest
would therefore lead them to an
honest and economical and intelligent
administration of city affairs. The
gentleman who heads the ticket,
Mr.. Frank, is too well-known to
require any introduction. To speak
the truth of him might be con-
strued into fattery. He is a leading
business man, honest, intelligent and
enterprising. Young in years, he is
typical ofthe mercantile blood OF the
Silver City. Combined with the en-
ergy of his youth, he has the wisdom
derived from experience and the
courage to do what he believes to be
right. When elected, he will him
self be Mayor. He will not serve
any ring or faction, but act for the
whole people. He will substitute
business for politics as the rule CT his
official life and that is Democracy.
Mr.. Mccarthy will make an efficient,
honest, capable and discreet Mar
shall, one who will have the courage
to faithfully discharge his duties, in
any emergency. The very name OF
Mr., Russell is "a tower of strength"
No man stands higher in this COM
munity than he. Mr., Curtis will
make an efficient City Clerk and
Captain Nichols has been tried and
not found wanting. His past service
is the best guarantee for the future.
The Aldermanic ticket could not be
improved even by the most
captious pruning. Nr. Mcnamara
has shown his ability and honesty of
purpose by his past career in the
Council. No man stands higher in
the Second ward than does Mr..
Reins. Messrs. Thomas and Pat
ten will represent the intelligence
and business interests of the Third
ward a%cceptably, while MI. Hamilton
cannot be beaten by any combination
that may be brought against him.
Taken all in all, the ticket, as we have
already said, is a superior one. We
believe 1T to be %invincible, and predict
its triumphant election. The MINER
congratulates tie Convention upon
the excellence of its work. and the
party upon its bright prospects.
