Third Ward-Myron Tanner and
George T. Peay,
Fourth Ward-Jesse ]. Fuller and
William ]. Lewis.
Fifth Ward-William Grier and
George w. Gee.

nations as Republicans generally do
In order to secure harmony and hold
probable boilers in the party they have
given the nomination in the Third ward
to Myron Tanner, who has just gone

hold him in their ranks. He was just
on the point of renouncing the Repub-

to lose a single vote and they are

any advantage. Their death knell is
already sounded. So far as they have

unpopular men thSn those named as
city councilmen. More evidence of this
being Democratic year.
