Mr.. GEARON's NOMINATION.
1t had been generally asserted that Mr..

name, and some of his friends said that
they did not think he would make the
race 1t is not likely. however, that the
committee would have made the nomna-
tion without some assurance from
Mr.. Gearon that he would accept,
SO there is little likelihood of
his Withdrawing now Without detract-
ing from the other gentlemen on the
ticket, it was yesterday asserted that
there is no better man on the ticket. He
is well known among the workingmen
where his chief strength lies. but all who
knows him known him TO be an intelH-
gent and independent thinker and a man
who will be guided according to his CON
victiOns
Mr.. AndersOn's nomination had not
been expected by many of the members of
the Iammany and Democratic Clubs as
he is not a mem Der of either club This
will count nothing against him, however,
as he will receive the hearty support of
the two clubs and the large element which
does not hold membership in any club.
Many of his friends declared their will
ingness yesterday TO wager money on his
election.
The ticket for the executive
committee was acknowledged on
all sides to be the strongest

impression.

the ticket which was named yesterday by
many members of the Citizens Club, and
which they asserted would be the win
