Third Ward-JoHN j. MAcKEY..
Fourth Ward--ENos w. CRANDELL.
The strongest ticket, collectively, ever
put up tor city officers is that nominated by
the republican city convention held Friday.
March 10th. while individually and for his
own Office no better material, no more hon
est straightforward, always republican,
always enterprising citizens could have
been selected. Each and everyone of them
we believe, will be elected next Monday
because they are the best men named for
the positions and the principles they repre-
sent are those opposed to such as have
brought not so much to workingmen here,
but all over the country, hardships innum-
erahle. They are clean men in every re-
spect; nominated by the best conducted
convention ever held in the city, composed
of men elected as they should always be, by
ballot at the ward caucuses which were at
tended by the largest number of voters at
any caucuses ever held in the city. But one
ballot was taken for any officer and every
republican in the city should congratulate
himself upon the manner in which the del
egates did their duty. A few words for
each of the candidates may be said so that
voters may know something of the NOM
inees.

two years past, have an easy task. His
