Ticket to Be Composed by
Democrats Tonight.
MEDILL FAVORED FOR MAYOR.
Strong Candidates Talked of
For Nominations.
Democratic City Convention
at Turner Hail.

The democratic city-township con-
veution will nominate q winning
ticket at Turner hall tonight. 1t is
onlv necessary to choose with wis
dom to insure victory in April. The
bitterness and diecord that must in.
evisably follow proceedings Of such a
nature as those Of last night have
hopelessly rent the republican party.
and with o man who can command
the support of all good democrats
the ticket named last night will be
showed under feom one end TO the
other.
For sometime the sentiment of the
party has been favorable to the re-
nomiS atiop OF ex -Msyor T. j. Medill
and it has 80 crystall,zed itself upon
him In the pas.. day or two that all
other candidates lave practically
Withdrawn in his fsNor. notwith-
standing that he has persistently
discouraged the use OF his ZANE.
and yesterday afternoon he declared
positively to an ARGUS representative
that ne could not in justice to personal
interests consent to be o candidate.
Ga the contrary he mus. have it I'M
derstood positively that he was not
to be further regarded in connection
with the nomination. This final as
surance had the effect o: simply in
creasing the esrnestness of the de-
termination to prevail upon him to
accept, and when the matter was
put on patriotic grounds, and o sense
OF duty to the entire city, as well
view OF the situation. From further
conversation with Mr.. Medill today
it is reasonable TO presume that If
the nomination is rendered him he
will not decline. This being the
case there is every indication that
MIR. Medill will again lead his party
to victory as he did four years ago.
and it may be said. too, tina: the
baseless reports diligently circulated
by republicans of late that he would
not run against Carse, has not been
without effect in determining his
course. Mr.. Medill does not consider
opposition candidates when running
for of1ice-snd certainly he would
not be inclined to do so in the light
OF Encouragement under the pres.
ent circumstances.
The Other Candidates..
A. d. Huesing will be renominated
for city clerk. The other candidates
spoken Of as coming before the con-
vention are: c. b. Marshs!l and
Charles Buford Cor ATTORNEY. II r

his heartfelt thanks for the nomin.-
