TWO CONVENTIONS.
The Democratic City Conven-
ton Called for Wednes-
day Next.
The County Convention Will
Be Held Friday, Having
Separate Primaries.
Five More Arrests Of Census
Enumerators and More
Coming.
The Court House Commission
Tries a Little Economy
for a Change.

The date of the Democratic county
convention has been changed to Friday,
the Goth, at Normanna hall. The city
convention, the official call for which
appears in another column, will be held
at Harmonic hall Wednesday, the 2Sth,
and the primaries will be held Tuesday
evening. These two points were yes
terday decided definitely. The county
committee held a prOtracted session
last night, and for various reasons de-
cided to hold the convention Friday, and
to keep the primaries distinct and
separate from those of the city cOnven-
ton. The apDortionment will be the
same as decided upon when the con-
vention was called for Thursday, one
delegate for each fifty votes, a major
faction thereof providing that each pre-
cinct shall have at least one delegate.
The county convention will have a
vast amount of work to do which will
doubtless prolong its session far into the
evening. Delegates to the state con-
gressional and judicial conventions are
to be chosen, and the county ticket in
addition is to be put in nomination.
The mayOralty nomination created
unusual interest yesterday, owing to
the announcement that both DR.. AmeS
and z. B. Winston have withdrawn in
favor of G.. NJ. FOOte. Sitted down it
appears that they have simply given
the assurance that they will not antag-
oniZe his candidacy nor appear as can
didates. There have been no
pledges as yet, however, which
will prevent either from accepting
the nomination if rendered them, and it
is by no means decided as yet that Mr..
Foote is to be the nominee of his party
for mayor.
There are liable to be several turns to
the wheel before next Wednesday.
The city committee has issued the
following instructions to inspectors and
electors:

suant 10 the provisions of the new so-called
