taken to allow the different wards to
make their nominations for aldermen
and members of the school board, n
the following nominations were made:

After ratifying the above nomina-
lions the convention proceeded to the
selection of candidates for mayor, city
treasurer and clerk.
For mayor, Judge C. M. Bayne was
nominated by acclamation; John c. Or
rim, the present efficient city clerk, was
nominated by reclamation for re-elec-
ton, and on ballot J. F. White, the
storekeeper for the Santa Fe Railroad
company at this place, was almost the
unanimous choice of the convention
Tor city treasurer.
Judge Bayne, the nominee for mayor,
was not present at the convention, bur
was notified of his nomination by a
committee sent out by the chairman.
He accompanied the committee to the
hall and being introduced by ID. j.
Leahy came to the platform and made
an earnest talk on the municipal situa-
ton, which is of general local interest.
He said a steady hand and cool judg-
ment should be demanded by the peo-
pie in the next head of city affairs, but
that he did not feel equal to the ext
gencies that would have to be met as
a result of the mistakes of former adj
ministrations. He was inclined to de-
cline the nomination, but the unanim
ity of the convention in rendering him
the honor caused him to consider the
matter further before so doing. 1t is
confidently believed that he will con
sent to make the race, and If he does
he will be elected by the largest ma
jority ever accorded to a candidate FOL
mayor in this city. He is a level
headed business man and is personally
very popular. 1t is an excellent ticke
throughout.
George A. Reese, a life insurance
man of Trinidad, and Miss Gussie l.
GiIler, a popular young lady of this
city, were married here yesterday.
