 So far nothing definite has been done with reference to the nomina- tion for city clerk. The present in- cumbant, Mir Sandland, is we'll liked, but many feel that the democrats ought to have the office, and that a good man can win out. It has been said that Mir Whiting did not desire renomination for the Bronson l- brary, but nobody appears to know whether this is so. If MT Whiting is willing to remain no better choice could be made, but in case he insists upon retiring some rather equally good man should be chosen, for the position is an important one, even though the salary is not large. The democratic town convention will be held tonight in the aldermanic chamber. The delegates are as fol- lows:

 There is no slate and if there is it stands in danger of being broken at any moment. The names heard in connection with the nominations are John ]. Mcdonald. Attorney Kelley. Dr Hayes. I Chase, Atorntey Mona- gan. Attorney Phelan and A. W. Cas- tie. These are all very good men, but even at that one cannot help won dering why some of the wards nave no aspirants for the department of education while other districts have as many as four. Is there nobody in the fourth ward interested in school work? What is the reason the third ward is not rallying around somebody for a place on that board One may say it doesn't make much difference about such things, but it does. Every district in the city should have at least one member on the board of education and the districts having the largest number of school children should have the preference when it comes to making up the full list of delegates.
