renominated as q deserving tribute to hru-"orh'ne

have been the unanimous choice OF the Rcpuohcah
electors OF every ward In the city, after the intense
abuse and venOmOus criticism to which he has peeh
subjected ut the hands OF portion Oh the Dcmocr'o
press is proof that he has tire full confidence OF MS
party and that they deem the criticism OF the o'nef
side unfounded and unworthy. The RepuDhcahs re-
nominated the present City Treasurer, D. i. ID.
