are as follows:
City clerk-win Pierce, George sewall
and H. T. Kramer.
City sttorney-Jo. H. Brubacher and
George Adams.
City treasurer-Bruce keenan,.
1t was generally conceded on the
streets last night that Mr.. Ross would
be nominated on the first ballot. There
still held, that their candidate would be
nominated, among them being Mr.. H.
D. Heiserman and Charles II. Luling.
the two most prominent managers Of
Mr.. Kernans candidacy.
When seen by an Eagle reporter last
night, all that Mr.. Heiserman wauld
night, all that Mr. Heiserman would
delegation come in solid, if it does. good
bye Mr.. George Sewall." This was said
in an interrogative manner.
Mr.. Luling was very emphatic in his
language. He said that he would con-
cede nothing, that he could tell better
Thursday when the convention would
be held.
1t was the most holly contested pre-
iminary battle ever held in this city
foregoing table shows how very close the
contest was. The rain, which came down
all afternoon, accounts for the light vote.
Every means was exerted by both fac
tons, and hacks and carriages were
useG in large numbers TO convey the
voters to the polls.
The most bitter fight was in the Sec
ond and Third wards, the Second being
Mr.. Ross ward and the Third being Mr..
Kernan's. Each candidate was very de-
sirous of having a solid delegation from
his own ward. but owing to one of the
anomalies OF politics each candidate lost
his ward. Though the strife was bitter,
and all legitimate means were used TO
bring success, there was no trouble in
any OF the wards, and all bitterness and
luminosity ceased after the polls closed.
The following are the delegates elected
to the convention, which will assemble
Thursday morning at 10 O'clock in Gar
