Tive city Conventions.

About seventy citizens assembled Mt
the court house on Saturday evening last
and proceeded to make up ticket which
they christened the Citizens Law and
Order ticket, because it had issued a
statement OF principles pledging the nom
inees OF the convention to certain per-
| formances which a number of ministers
and church folk had concluded was the
proper thing, but which later on the nom.
inees refused to endorse with their sigma
lures. The convention nominated Hugh
and j. I. Sinclair for councilmen from
the First ward; but when it came
TO the filing OF the ticket with the
city clerk. John I. Sinclair's name ap-
peared under the heading of city treasur-
er, and Frank Sinclair's name was SUBJ
stituted for councilman from the First.
