The Ton. If. F. Multlory, who for two years Mist has represented the Fourth Ward in tho City Council, has been regularly nominated for retlectlon. Mr. Mallory haa never sought the nominution, clther ut the former or nt the ap- pronching election, and hns consented to ac- cept the nomination only at the carnest solicttas tlon of muny of the princeton! taxpayers and business men resident In tho ward, and nt grent inconvenience to his own business Interests. Its name having agaln been submitted to the action of the Republican primury, and ho having falrly and honestly received tho indoraement of the Republican electors, a8 thus expressed, he will be presented to the voters at the appronching election for the officeof Alderman, Tt 1s be- Noved that his nomipatton has the earncet sup- port of a majority of tho Republican voters and taxpayers in the ward, and that he willbeelceted by a large majority over all political opposition. Neverthelces, a certain clement in the Republl- can party having developed an opposition to hla eleetion on recount of Jocal and facttous mo- tives, have put forward another independent Republican candidate from the Kixth Precinct and have thus inaugurated a sectional tight, whieli ehould net bo cncournged by our intelll- gont eltizens and taxpryers. We tuko this method of appealing tothe better sense of all Joyat Republicans In the ward to forget all per- sonnt and sectional animoasitics, and to vole ag unit In support. of Mr. Mallory, Wo might safely rest this appeal upon the party traditions and customs, which require of unsuccessful candidates and tholr friends a cheerful acquics- cence in tha netion of the primaries when an un- execptionadle candidate is selected, and upon this: ground alone we might properly call upon Ro- publican and other voters to support him, We prefer rnther tonppeal tothe better judgment of tho clt@ena throughout the ward to como for ward to the support of nomines who bas not only received tho nomination inn fair contest, ‘but who deserves n retlection by hfs past record intho Council, to whieh wo polut as the most satisfactory guarantee of a like honorable and yseful servico inthe futuro. It {6 but justice to Mr. Mallory to say that tho ward has never been better represonted in the Council, ‘and his past exporicnco has fitted him for stilt moro useful service In tho future. His olection, therefore, will bo but just tribute to a fatth- ful publio servant, and a grout benefit to the word, wm . Wo, therefore, carnostly appeal to all: good citizens throughout tho ward to give tholr suf- frages In support of Mr. Mallory, believing that his experience and knowledgo of municipal mat- ters ure too vuluuble to the taxpaying citizens of this ward to be thrown aside for any untried and Inexperlenced person: i ' AUK Hownoures 0, Witton: pei bane ns. ares jobn i.

Bpeetat Dispatch tu The Chicago Tribune, Wastinaron, D.C, Aprit 4—The Hon. John R. Henderson, of St. Luuls, ine been {1 town a day or two in connection with a Minnesota land- grant cise now pending before the lnterlor De- partment. In converention to-day, he sald that he had no doubt that the May Convention ut St. Louls of Republicans opposed to a third term would be a Inrge and successful meeting, ul- though he seemed sumewhnt tnelincd to doubt its success In muking an fiwpression on the Chi- cugo Convention. Mr. Hendorson regards ull politicians ns slntish and ng ofliceeseckers. One man is looking for tho Presidential nom!- nation, another for 2 nomination os Justice of the Pence. Their mal object, therefore, is to be on the winning side, Therein ho thinks Cameron and Conkling did wisely tn carrying tholr Statps for Grant vory carly; they buve ime pressed the politicians with the [dea that Grant is the: coming man, and have, thorefore, given thelr favorit o strength In other States which he would not have had were It not for their suce eesses in Penneylvania and New York, Whnatho ‘will do in ease of Grant's nouslantion bo declines to say. He desires tho St. Loula Convention, which will be nttended by | PEOPLE FROM ALT QUARTERS of the Unton, to be really adoliberntive body. Therefore it will nut do for any one intending to take port in it to make up his mind us to bis course beforo that Convention shall meet. Gen, Henderson says, however, thut ho fs convinced that, should Grant be nominuted, nny Demo- cratic cand{dute who shall be acceptable to the fnti-third-torm Republicans will carry Now York, Ohlo, Michigun, and Wisconsin. Whothor ho shall also carry New Jersoy, Connectlout, and Indiana or not will not be material. Ho would, in bis - opinion, carry those States, and probably =‘ Hilnols. Gon. Iendergon = thinks very much as Mr, Nichols, of Wisconsin, that the Gormans ure so intonscly hostile, both to the iden of a third term and to Grant himeci!f, that thoy wotld voto solldly against him. Ho says all this depends, of course, upon the charicter of the Demoerntio candidate, There hns been some talk hore of a Liberal Ropublicun Convention, to be hell between the two regular Conventions, witha viow to nominating a Democrat in tho hopo that the regular Democratic Convention would adopt tho candidate, Gon. Henderson says he docs not, bellove in this; that vemall body of men, especiatly men of Republican antecedents, should not attompt to dictate to tha Democratic party. It ought to bo assumed thut that great organization knows best us to Its needs andasto what will bo best for tt todo. Ho sold that was the great wenkness of tho movemunt of the nomimtion of Mr. Greeley gained ‘ow Republican votes, but it lost many more Democratic votes, If there are to be any Republican votes cast this year for the Domocritie candidate tt with be because the Int- ter ismore acceptable tothom than is tho Ke- publicun canuidute, G PUESIDENT WOOLSEY ON THR THIND TERM.
