The convention did not say how the ward should be represented. The meeting im that ward was called. and was an author- ized one, and it made no difference which meeting elected the delegates. Mr. Dubant said he believed there was a doubt as to these delegates representing the First Ward. He wanted to see that ward have delegates, and the convention a success.

[Ap- janee 7 Mr. Alison Nailor, Jr., offered a resolution providing that the Convention be subject to the call of Presidentat any time he should deem it advantageous to the interest of the rty, and that the nominations of Collector, gister and Surveyor be postponed un then. Dr. Alien Roped the resolution would not be adopted. Thero were but six weeks prior to the election and he thought it was time the ticket should be in the field. He saw nothing to be gained by delay, and thought the propo- sition to defer was for some parties who had axes of their own to grind. eetings shonid be held inevery ward, stands erected, music engaged, and every arrangement made for a thorough canvass, addreeses ald be deliv- ered to all citizens, white and colored. Let them know it is to their own interest to sup- port our ticket. Make the nominations and don’t wait for a few wire puliers.
