AS usuai, one of the brightest and most

blue and gold effect of al the uniforms was
varied by the white trimmings of the in

of the cavalry, the scarlet of the Marine

in the absence of the mention of such
power in the call, he would not enter

Result OF the Action.
The result of the conventions action
is TO bring the fight in the coming
election between the citizens and the
republican tickets, headed, respectively.
by James Mcnamara and II. c. Schaf-
fer. AS a consequence. the leaning of
many democrats will naturally be to-
ward the citizens ticket. which has
recognized the democratic party in the
nominations of w. II. Lamont for
clerk and c. o. Huckstaedt for city
treasurer There are democrats ney-
ertheless who have, since the conven-
ton of last night failed to nominate.
openly espOused the candidacy of the
prospective republican nominee for
mayor.
The convention was well attended,
representative and harmonious in all
respects.
