It was plainly apparent to observéis of the Republican city conventiön that, provided the Demócrata exercised dis'creetness in the selecüon of candidates bef ore their convention to be held t vo days later ,victory was assured. Mr.Smith two years ïast mayor, and who had given pretty general satisfaction was a candidate for renomination, not for the honor contened, for he had received all there was to receive in that, nor for the salary of SI, butfora vlndication of lus course as cbief offlcer of the city in connection with the riotous action of students some months ago. He was severely censurad by many eiü.ens for calling upon the militia to enforce order and clear the streets from large bodies of students who, defying him and the pólice, refused to move from their position from in front of the post office. Whether the mayor was justified. qr nat in calling upon the military lias been a debatable question. The act had been done, and upon this issue alone the mayor desired to go to the polls. Ilis desire in this respect was overruled, not by this issue being raised at the primarles, but by a far different one viz: that of prohibition. Underthelead of Mr. B. E. Frazer, word went forth and it was so announced from a reform club meeting in the opera house, that now was the time to enter the political arena and the Republican primaries shovild bc captured. And they were excepting in the second ward. In vain did aldenoan Ilill protest in a speech against the defeat he foresaw if Mr. Brown the candidate of the reform club was nominated for mayor. Said the speaker, " I am a republican, and supposed I was elected to attend a republican convention; I am mistaken for I flnd this is a red ribbon convention." "Woe-begone expressions stole o'er the coüntenanees of Mr. Beal a:id other friends of mayor Smith after the nomination of Mr. Brown was a.nnounced. They shuddered at the contemplation of the issue about to be forced upon them. Though several l'allots were necessarily taken to correct the excessive ones, and the honesty of tellers Kinne and Emerick impugned by a delégate, the nomination of Mr. Brown was conceded to have been fairly carried. Xominationa of Orvilie F. Webster for recorder and Anthony McRey. nolds for justice, were alsoeffectüd by the red ribbon element. Contrary to the illegal voting, bickering and imputation of false counting in the "Repu' '1 can conventiön, the democratie conventiön was conducted in the most quiet and orderly manner, the nominee for mayor reciving an unanimous nomination without resort to bal" lot. A friendly rivalry over the reeordership resul ted, after two formal ballots in the nomination of Mr. W. W. Douglas. One formal ballot determined the nomination of Mr. Philip Winegar.- The convention adjourned in excellent humor. the rebotvt ix tite city. Í í í 1 1 ti i . ï ÍK. S L í MWOK.

About eight p. jt., the city band made its appearance. After marching down the street under lead of Lieut. Schxih and circling around a huge bon lire, the musical organization moved towards the residence of mayor-elect Kapp. Pretty soon his friends arrived in large numbers to congratúlate liim on his success and mingle rejoicings over the victory. The band ceasing to play calis were made for the mayor, who appeared at the front of his ïesidence under escort of ex-mayor Cramer, and by whom he was introduced to the audience wliicli occupied every available bit of standing room in the large yard, and many were compelled to flnd room in the street. Mayor Kapp said: Mt Fkiends: F mi glad to see so many persons here this evening; I did not inow that I had so many friends as I see before me.
