woRKINGMEN' CONVENTION.
Another meeting Of the Working
mems Convention, composed Of eighty
four nembers-seven from each of the
twelve assemblies Of the city-will be
held at Laube's Hall tomorrow night.
AT the last meeting committees were
appointed to recommend suitable men
as candidates for Common Council
and Board Of Aldermen from each
ward. These committees have been
busy trying to decide who to put on
the ticket they propose to put in the
field on May 9th. 1t is understood that
they have great difficulty in securing
the consent Of suitable persons TO run.
Meetings were held in several
wards last night to select candi-
dates for the Board of Aldermen
and Common Council. They have
agreed TO support the Democratic nomi-
nees for all city offices except City Ser
geant, and for that Office they will put
both the names Of n. NJ. Lee and
James c. Smith on their tickets. To-
morrow night the Convention will meet
to receive the reports from the several
ward meetings and perfect the ticket.
The Independents are well organized,
and are elated with hopes Of success,
but the Democratic clubs are preparing
for the conflict, and there is no doubt
that with active efforts the entire Demo-
cratic ticket will be elected by q tri-
umphant majority. 1t is probable that
this Convention will endorse some of
the councilmen and aldermen nominated
by the Democratic Primary who are
OF their way Of thinking.
