FOR CITY JUSTICES
Gilbert S. Bartholomew. G. o. Morgan

The work Of the Democratic and Pop
ulist county conventions has been con-
cluded.
Fusion is now an accomplished fact
and the full county ticket that will be
elected by the people in November has
been named.
Those who are not fully acquainted
with all of the legal formalities that it
is necessary to conform to in order to
bring about full and complete union of
the Populist and Democratic voters of
this country for free silver in the nation
and better government in the state and
county, do not realize the difficult ta~.:
it was to effect and carry the arrange
ment that had been made and still con-
form with the meaning and spirit of the
law.
All the technicalities. though, have
been overcome. Everything has been
done in strict accordance with the stat
ute and ever barrier that existed to
block the fusion movement has been
swept away.
The ticket nominated is exceptionally
strong and against it. no one can say
aught. Each individual candidate is
willing to stand on his own merits and
upon them ask the SuifraSeS OF his cOun-
trymen
STRONG NOMINEES
The nominations made yesterday were
as preoicted in The Herald. James
Hanley was renominated in the Fifth
supervisoral district, all opposition to
him having been withdrawn. This was
deserved recognition Of his faithful pub
Tic service.
George D. Pessell was nominated for
supervisor in the Second district. Mr..
Pessell is young man. He has charac-
ter, ability and reputation, and he will
be elected.
General Johnstone Jones was nomi-
mated for Senator in the Thirty
district. He has a difficult fight, but
the friends of silver in the district will
be out in sufficient force to pull him
through. He will make good senator,
and he will be a faithful representative
of the people.
Gilbert S. Bartholomew was nomi-
mated for city justice. Judge Bartholo-
NEW is veteran and his nomina-
ton was given to him by the young DEM
ocrats in the convention.
w. l.. Price, the nominee for the as
sembly in the Seventy-fourth district,
is too we'll known to need any commen-

has a hard race to make, but he will gain
victory if such a thing is possible.
The convention saw fit to pass reso-
lutions commendatory of The Herald
and its course. This was grateful recog-
milton of the service the paper is rem
dering the party and the people in this
crisis. 1t was in marked contrast with
the reception the name of a certain
morning paper printed at Broadway and
First street by person named Otis re-
ceived in the Republican county conven-
ton.
ALREADY ON RECORD
1t was unnecessary for this convention
to reaf1irm it's previous declaration made
in June against the Pacific railroad fund
ing proposition. The Democrats strong
ly opposed the funding bill by resolution
passed in the convention last June.
Taken as a whole, the work of both
Populist and Democratic conventions
was well performed. Wise selections
of nominees were made by representa-
tive men Of both parties. There was
no spirit of anarchy shown in either of
the bodies nor was there any sentiment
expressed against law and order.
The Democracy and Peoples party are
now ready for the campaign, travelling
under oSe banner lnd proceeding on to
certain victory.
