Judge A. c. Hinkson being informed
that his name had been placed in nom

Record Union late last night with
much in dignation, that the use of his
name was wholly unauthorized; that
he has at no time been a candidate for
Mayor; that no one had any right to
use his name; that he was not in the
convention, but was at home and in

name would be used. The Judge ex-
pressed himself as exasperated that his
name should have been used to make
a seeming Of candidacy.
