THE Regular Republicans held
their nomination on Wednesday.
which resulted in the nomination of
George W. Bush tor Mayor; Henry
c. Conrad, City Solicitor. and VIM.
II. Curry, City Treasurer. On Sat
urday, the Union Republicans will
hold their primaries and nominate
officers. That the Republicans did
not take much interest in the numI-
nation election is shown by the
small vote OF |. 200 Hundreds Of
Republicans are Disguised and say
they will not take the trouble to go
and vote at the election in June.
The apathy shown at the nomi-
nation BODIES no good for the success
of the Republicans in June. With
Il united party every city official
could be elected and the Republicans
placed in control of the city. The
place to make the fight, if fight the
two wings OF the party must, is at
the primaries, but not on election
day. 1t now remains to be seen
how many Republicans think it
necessary to vote on Saturday.

one hour in the pillory and be
whipped with 20lashes on Saturday.
