books for the city primary, which takes
place next Thursday, the 9th inst, closed
tonight with about 10000 names on the
men and six councilmen are to be select
ed as the democratic nominees. Two
tickets are in the field, one headed by
Hon. Charles A. Collier for mayor. and
the other by Col Albert Howell. Both
are influential and personally popular and
have waged most determined campaign.
The registration is unusually heavy in
consequence.

business element, which was foremost in
the exposition and other enterprises, while
Col. Howell is the champion of the domi-
nant local political faction. He is at
present an alderman, having been in coun-
ell in both branches for years past. and
otherwise affiliated with municipal af-
fairs.
Mr.. Collier was at one time member
of council.
In addition to the mayor and members
of council to be nominated city officers
are also to be selected, which makes an
entire new regime possible in the result
of the fight at the polls.
