vention contrary to his wishes he was
about the maddest man in town. Had he
desired the nomination he could easily
have secured it, and the vote that he re-
ceived i'm the convention in no sense rep
resents his well known popularity. Under
the existing circumstances DIR. Campbell
virtually had no opposition and received
all but 10 of the votes. The nominee was
hunted up by a committee appointed fer
the purpose and when hc entered the con-
vention hall he was greeted with loud and
long continued applause. Ho was pre-
sented to the convention in a facetous
speech by Chairman Smith, and re-
sponded 10y gracefully acknowledging the
honor conferred upon him by the conven-
ton. accepted the nomination, which he
said had come to him unsolicited, and
pledged himself. If elected, to serve the
city to the best of his ability. Economy"
said he, "in municipal affairs shall be my
watchword."
For city treaurer u. L. Bloomburg was
nominated by reclamation.
For city attorney the name of John Il.
Smith was presented, but that gentleman
decl ned and alluded to tho fact that the
republican had already nominated the
junior member of the law firm of
intimated that he thought he could beat
Mr.. Wilson easily enough, but didn't like
to 10 it. As was expected, the Office went
begging for n candidate and no nomina-
lion was made, the vacancy on hc ticket
being left for the central committee to
fill. The indications are that the re-
publican candidate will have no oppose
| ton, as no democratic attorney can be
found who will consent to make the race.
For police magistrate ID. j. Rose, the
present incumbent, was nominated by
! reclamation. Last fall Mr.. Rose ran for
| Justice of the peace on the democrat c
county ticket and his election alone pre-
vented the republican victory from being
complete. He was the only democrat
| elected, and the democrats facetiously
refer to him as 1.-THE flower of Livingston
| democracy" Chairman Smith, in an
| nouncing the nomination of Mr.. Rose,
| created an uproar of laughter by wIttily
referring to the result of last falls cam
paign. He said: at affords me unspeak-
| able pleasure to announce that by your
votes you have retained the last vestige of
Livingston democracy, and / feel assured
that whatever may befall us in the present
municipal campaign we will preserve our
Rose untarnished."
Both candidates for mayor are we'll and
| favorably known in this city and are both
residents of the Second ward. Mr.. Har-
vey, the republican nominee, has been
| engaged in the butcher business in Liv-
ingston for n number of years and his res
| idence here is coextensive with the estab-
lishment of the city. He is possessed of
splendid executive ability and would
bring to the Office of mayor exten-
sive experience in municipal affairs.
The fact that he is proprietor of n meat
market establishment should not lead tho
democrats into the belief that he is their
meat. On a strict party vote the city is
safely republican and Mr.. Harvey may
lead his opponent through a slaughter
house TO an open political grave.
DIR. w. ii. Campbell, the democratic
nominee, has served one term as n mems
Der of the Livingston city council, is well
versed in municipal affairs and is in every
way qualified to administer the right kind
of municipal medicine. lie is sanguine OF
success and thinks he can win without
| dumping himself very hard. Mr..
| Campbell starts IN the race with a horse
on his republican rival secured to HIM 10y
tho passage of the corrupt practices act,
for it is well known fact that camels
can go n long time between drinks.
