They Convene and Nominate IL Strong
Ticket-They Will Elect IT,.

The democrats of our sister city met at
the Lehman opera house, last Monday
night, for the purpose of nominating a
ticket for the city offices. The conven-
ton lasted over five hours, and was
interesting and enthusiastic throughout.
1t was IA typical political gathering. d.
push" and "de pulp both turned out in
full force to battle for the fayorites. Two
hundred and seventy democratic voters
were on hand, and of course the republic
cans were lOokers-on. Incidentally they
came to see how the proper thing was
done in the proper way, or else to hear
the death knell of their ticket sounded.
When the democrats had named their
J sta nd bearers, the ''robber tariff, force
bill, monometallistic, class legislation"
sympathizers heard that knell in no
uncertain sounds. To their sorrow, and
to the joy of the democrats, good men
were nominated, men who are worthy
representatives, of the democracy, and
who will cast the full strength of their
party.
Fol mayor, three candidates urged their
claims. They were j. =. Chinn, IA young
lawyer of ability, Ii. III. Luce, editor ofthe
C~oncordian, and Horace j. Dooley. This
contest excited much interest, as each OF
the candidates seemed TO have about the
same strength, as the first ballot, which
gave Chinn 81, Luce 81 and Dooley SO
votes, clearly showed. Mr.. Chinn's name
being withdrawn, the second ballot gave
Dooley 1876 and Luce 124. The former was
declared duly nominated. He was the
recipient of many congratulations, and
even those opposed to him, came arount
in the good old democratic way and pro-
nounced his nomination a good one.
For the marshalship there were fly.
aspirants: Il. II. Bennett, II. III. Peery
e. f. Ridge, w. r. Jackson and Charlie.
Mount. The first, second and fourth
showed much strength, but after severa
ballots, r.. Il. Bennett was successful. ii,
has been marshal of Higginsville To-
three terms, and has proven himself to b,
an efficient officer. The large numbe
and the character of his votes was a vel
deserved compliment.
For collector, Henry Boyer, j. W. Ian,
and Il. Z. Gaines were opponents. TT,
second ballot resulted In MIR. Boyer
nomination..
The ticket is conceded by all the voter
as a strong one, and rs the city is strongl,
democratic, good nominations mean sur
elections. The democrats of Higginsvill
, will all unite N elect this ticket, an
l the city government will be administers
by good, honest, upright democrats 10
