FOR MAYOR.
Mr.F II. Emerson in areally neat speech
placed 10 nomination for Mayor DR.. l..
w. French. At the mention of the doc
tors name there was loud applause from
Joe Manning, l.. Ledbetter and De-
Garmo.
Hon. H. T. Hazard in mournful tones,
no doubt caused by the remembarnoe of
his own recent little tussle with the
free born voter, seconded the nominAtion
OF DR.. French.
o County Recorder Gibson placed in
nomination DR.. w. G.. Cochrane. See-
onded by j. w. Mckinley and DR.. Sinsa-
baugh. Fred. Stoermer tried to second
the nomination of DR.. French.
Mr.. Velsir placed in nomination GEN
eral John Mansfield.
The candidates were called on to ex-
press themselves. DR.. French was the
first and said that he had been here
since the woods were burnt and was .
Republican. He said that as chairman
Of tine Board of Public Works he
he'd spent 100000 A Republican
said soto yoce, Eyes, aud all we had
to show for it was raise in taxes from
81 cents to Sl.70."
DR.. w. G. Cochrane appeare d and
made a most manly, straight forward
speech. He said he had not spoken to .
single delegate, but, if elected, he would
perform the duties of the office to the
best of his ability.
w. Clayton moved that the name OF
each delegate be called and he announce
his vote openly.
Hon. H. T. Hazard opposed thi
strongly. He said it would encourage
bossism. The gentleman gave little
exposition of the darker and tricky side
of Republican politics, which showed y
startling familiarity with the shades.
DR.. Sinsabaugh favored Clayton's
motion. He said he didn't live in the
South and he wasn't afraid of;auy such
ward strikers, as Los Angeles had,
humping him.
Joe Manning moved that the vote be
cast by Wards. Lost.

were cast with the folio wing result:
French, So; Cochrane, %; Mansfield. g.
DIR. French having received majority
OF the votes cast was duly declared

called for and mounted the stage. He
made brief speech in which he stum-
bled over the word ''complimentary"
twice and fell down fiat on ''unani-
NOUS" The Doctor, with that artistic
jumbling of figures for which he was so
noted while discussing financial matters
in the Council, said the city was 10000
Republican.
