WILLIAMS FOR MAYOR.
John p. Barnes Slaughtered BY Johns and
those Who Want Everything
Wide Open.

Wide Open.
The Democratic town convention met
Monday afternoon in Culyer's hall, abso-
Lutte harmony prevailing. Every delegate
in the convention, with one or two excep.
tons. was anti. Barnes and anti everything
else which did not meet the views Of Johns
and the crowd who complain that their
opportunities for rolling sheephsrders
have been lsssened BY Incorporation. At
the primaries Saturday the eanr showed
perfect organization and the friends OF
good government and a decent regard for
law and order were completely routed. In
order that the job might not betoo appar
snt II few OF the representatives oi true
Democracy were placed upon the list Of
delegates, but almost without exception
these absentsd themselves from tho con.
%vention where they would nave no chance
whatever and Johns and his man, Wordeu,
ran the whole thing. ot thirty.scvcn dele
