The ticket is a good clean one, made

The Ward Caucuses.

NAL ballot for candidate for Mayor.
The result of the vote was as follows,
Wilson 80; Gulick Z; b., Y. Nicholson s.;
G. l.. Nichol:on q; A. j. Bond 4; scat
tering -. 1t being clearly the wish of
the majority that Mr.. Wilson should be
the nominee, a motion to make it unan-
imous prevailed.
The next Office balloted upon was
that of City Treasurer. The informal
ballot gave Plimpton 81, Voss 20 and
Jones 4. On motion a formal ballot
vas taken which resulted, Plimpton 40.
and Voss IS. Mr.. Plimpton was de-
clared the nominee. Mr.. McLennan
was re -r1ominated for Solicitor by ac-
clamation as was also MIA. =. Bond
for Assessor. After his nomination
Mr.. Wilson was called upon and made
a few appropriate remarks thanking.
the caucus for the nomination. The
nominations give very general satlsfac-
ton among all classes of republicans.
Mr.. Wilson has so long been identified
with our city and its interests that he
needs no Introduction to the people
VINO know that Doug is perfectly re-
liable in any emergency. After a long
and successful business career here
Mr.. Wilson has retired and he is thus
in such a position that he can act fear
lessly for the best interests of the CITY
without fear or favor. He is in all res
poets an ideal candidate and Denison
will be fortunate indeed should he be
its next chief magistrate.
The remaining candidates have all
filed their Offices before with honor
and credit to themselves and to the
city. 1t was for this reason that they
were renominated. Mr.. Plimpton as a
treasurer, has a long recordof honesty
and h%elpfulness behind him. Mr.. Bond
filled the very arduous office of assessor
with great credit and Mr.. McLennan
mace such a good record as city solicit
itor that not a few of his friends urged
him to be a candidate for Mayor.
The aldermanic ticke is as good as
the general ticket. Mr.. W. d, Faus
although a young man has already
shown that he is made of the right
kind of S. uff. He not only belives in
the principles of the Republican party
but has through undaunted energy won
the respect and confidence of the voters
of his ward, who will see that he is
elected by a large majority.
Mr.. Max Sine succeeds himself as
