BAD BLOOD,

The skin is the seat Of an almost end,

by various names, but arr all due to the

the blood that i~rTitate and interfere with
the proper action of the akin.
To have q smooth, soft skin, free from
all eEuptions, the blood must be kept pure

This Aght for the republican nomination
for mayor will be carried into the city con-
Ventiou Thursday afternoon as the precinct
primaries Tuesday night to select delegates
to the convention failed to settle II.
A rough estimate made last night OF the
strenkth the several candidates will have
on the FIRST ballot was as follows: Dell G.
Moran, IS votes; william F. Sapp, Is;
G. w. Mcdonald, 10; Charles R. Hannah, 8;
8. r. Henry, g. This estimate. however
was largely guesswork, as many OF the
delegates are not pledged and had not de-
clared their preference. The injection OF
s. r. Henry's candidacy into the hight yes
terday. after It had been announced that
he was not a candidate, complicated mat
tiers.
Dell Morgan succeeded in carrying his
own ward and will have the solid support
az the delegations from both precincts. In
the nrst precinct there was a Sapp and a
MORAN ticket. In the second precinct there
we're three tickets. sapp, Morgan and one
framed by the Non partisan league.
In the nrst precinct Of the Second ward
Sapp secured the delegation with the ex-
ception Of one delegate, ". J. Leverett. who
was nut forward by the Non partisan league.
In the second precinct sapp lost out and a
ticket. which is said to be not committed
to any candidate, won out.
In the hrst precinct Of the Third ward
there was only one ticket, a compromise
one, and the delegates are mixed. In the
second precinct Dell Morgan captured the
delegation.
The nrst precinct Of the Fourth ward gave
two delegates to Henry and nve to McDon>
aid. The second precinct delegation Is said
to be mixed and not committed.
In the first precinct Of the Fifth ward
Hannah got six delegates and Morgan four.
The second precinct delegation Is mixed,
but Morgan has two for certain, 1t is said.
The nrst precinct Of the Sixth ward sent
q mixed delegation. Morgan's friends claim
I'VE Of the delegates and Mcdonald two.
There will be eighty-four delegates In the
convention, so ~forty-three votes VIII be
necessary to secure a nomination.
1t was stated last night on what was said
TO be good authority that in the event of
Morgan's failing to secure the nomination
he would throw. his strength to Hannah.
This would insure Humans nomination

he bought the second twenty-five feet,
just north of the first for $500. Yester-

along and On the corner Of the street they
planted very high pole. such as the new
