conda was that which occurred at the
city hall yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the democratic city convention. Its
nominations were for mayor, treasurer,
police magistrate and aldermen, which

by all good citizens. be they democrats,
republicans or populists, as the most
fortunate choice that could possibly

well known and popular citizens; they
are gentlemen of sterling integrity and
worth; they are lifelong democrats.
