Democrats Name
Winning Ticket

A splendid gathering OF representa-
of the city assembled in city hall
Friday evening and nominated the
strongest ticket it has been the good
fortune Of Democracy to place in the
field for years. While there was no
slate, there was unity of purpose and
the nomination Of each candidate met
with the hearty approval of all. There
WIS no wrangling, argument, side
stepping or declining, such as pre-
vailed in the Republican convention
the evening following. Every man
whose name was presented to the
convention was as loyal to the party
as he was to his city and harkened
to the call of duty.
Thomas Cody, whose official record
is as clean as his private life is
pure, was named as the mayoralty
candidate to succeed himself. Mr..
Cody has served but one term as
mayor and while he had entertained
some thought of relinquishing the
high position Of honor to some 9TH
er capable Democrat, his party would
not hear to it, and numerous Repub
licans positively resented such a
course. Mr.. Cody's nomination was
unanimous and his hat is in the
ring"
The aldermanic ticket is COM
posed of as fine a set of gentlemen
as ever sought political preferment.
The majority of the gentlemen have
just finished very creditable term,
a term that will meet with strong
and hearty endorsement at the polls
on April End. The well known citizens
nominated fer aldermen are: Oscar
Williams, first ward; James Powers.
second ward; Frank Teats, third
ward; Edward O'Neil, fourth ward;
Noah Mitchell. vacancy, fourth ward.
Robert Johnson was elected chair
man of the city central committee
and NJ. ]. Leahy, secretary. The COM
mitteemen from each CT the four
wards are: Henry Altvater, 1st; Neil
Mckay, End; Henry Eiimann, Sd, Ed.
O'Neil, 4th

Republicans En-
dorse Democrats,

HAS the grand old party come to
this that it must endorse Dtmmy-
crats!" thundered M. X. Sullivan at
the Republican convention Saturday
evening in resenting the suggestion
Of Peter McFarlane that inasmuch as
1t would be very difficult for the Re-
publicans to name a ticket that
would be victorious this spring, he
deemed it advisable to appoint com
mittee to confer with the Democrats
to endorse their nominees either in
part or in whole. Mr.. McFarlane in an
effort to show the convention
the wisdom of the course
he suggested, made one of the best
addresses the fluent and polished
speaker has delivered in years. He
showed not the slightest signs Of
narrowness or petty party prejudice
He said the present Democratic ad-
ministration had been as good as the
people could wish, under the condi-
tions of adversely as they existed
in the county today, ard that no bet
ter public service could be expected
Of Republican ticket the convention
might name, II as good. In passing
compliments and encomiums upon
the Democrats in the city council,
Mr.. McFarlane in tones ringing with
sincerity. paid Mayor Cody as high
a tribute as could be conferred upon
one in public office. He said: 1T oc-
ours to me, gentlemen, that Mr.. Cody
Is good enough and we are not JUS
titled in putting up man against
him."
b. E. Seymour was nominated for
mayor, as was also w. c. Fullerton.
Both declined, Mr.. Seymour in his
speech of decliIation saying he con-
CURED in great measure with
what Mr.. McFarlare had said. Mr..
Fullerton said he would have moth
ing to do with it whatever-and
that was positive and final.
Mr.. Sullivan asked Mr.. Seymour
as a favor to permit his name TO
head the ticket until Monday, and in
cancies would attempt to find some
one who would consent to sacrifice
himself. MIR. Seymour said II 1t would
help the party in any way he would
consent to be candidate for two days
but after that, nothing doing. Since
making this declaration. Mr.. Seymour
has been prevailed UPON by the va
cancy committee to stand.
The Republican aldermanic ticket
follows: r. N. Lewis, first ward !;
Henry Peck, End ward; Fred Bow
den, Sd ward; James Moody, 4th
ward; w. T. Warren, vacancy, 4th
ward.

SILVER CREEK ACTIVITY.

Mining on Silver Creek is on the
boom. The Sherman & Macon Min
ing company have let another one
hundred-foot contract in their cross
cut tunnel. This will put their work
ings in something like sixteen hun
dred feet. Numerous veins have been
cut but very little drifting has been
done on any of them, the owners pre-
ferring to extend their tunnel to
end lines of the property, then devel-
oping their holdings on a large scale.
This company has been operating
here for twelve years and have nev-
er missed a pay day. The work has
been all done by hand and no big
blow made about what they intend
