whether democratic congressman will

Mr.. Graham, the retiring postmaster,
was first appointed to the position by
President Grant, serving for a period
of one year. He was again appointed
in 1884 under the Cleveland admins

Ballot for One Candidate for Mayor
and Four COuncilmen.

From tuesdays Daily.
At the primary election Monday, the
voters should remember that they are
to vote for only one candidate for
mayor and four for councilmen. Some
people are said to have an idea that
they are to vote for two candida fes
for mayor and eight for councilmell,
but this is erroneous. The two can
didates for mayor and the eight for
councilmen having the highest number
of votes at the primary will have
their names placed on the ballot for
the final election. Judges of election
could assist good deal, it in pass
ing out ballots they would explain this
to the voters. If any voter votes for
more than one candidate for mayor or
mere than -four candidates for council
men, his ballot will have to be thrown
out.
The names of the candidates viii 90
on the ballots alphabetically. The polls
will be opened from 6 Il. III. until I
