persons the OF declaring that the

Coroner, was resident Of the present Third district.

by no means the first recognition Of the kind for
thirty years"-or a good deal less.

that the Republicans would this year elect three
candidates to Congress from this city but from
present appearances only one OF their nominees has

the Democratic nominees will have a practical walk
without serious Republican opposition. William
Ryan has been renomi atcd in the Sixteenth district
