Pursuant to law. a ceneral election for city officers, as ' provided for in the city charter, will be held at the respec tive polling places in the several wards tomorrow.

Alexander. Each voter will be entitled to cast one vote for mayor and three aldermen for uie wara in which he lives. In the First Ward a nrimarv meetiner has selected for aldermen Thos. Grier, D. M. Rigler and C Scott, as the nomi nees, and there seems to be no organized opposition to this ticket, although W. W . Grier will probably be voted fpr by some who are dissatisfied with the ac tion of the convention. In the Second Ward the tickets for aldermen are in a muss. The first con-, vention adjourned after one ballot with out a nomination. There was a sec ond convention attended only bv colored voters which claims to have made a nomination. There is consid erable diversity in the tickets which will be offered to the sovereigns who live in this ward when the polls are declared open. The names of L. W. SUTlHpTM T T Kmith TV TV WnW! nrV.ifo . and John Schenck, John Smith, Martini vv eddington and J.C. Johnston, eolored wiu be oitered to the voters. In the Third Ward the nominees of a convention held in the court house Thursday night for aldermen are R. Y. McAden, H. T. Butler, white; and J.W. Gordon, colored. An independent tic ket on which are the names of Walter Mullen, John Garibaldi, white, and J. W. Gordon, colored, will also be voted for. In the Fourth Ward the regular nominees of a convention held in the court house, last Monday night, for aldermen are C. Dowd, S. Wittkowsky and J. H. Van Ness. D. G. Maxwell is understood to be an independent can didate in this ward. The three candidates for the mayor alty known to be in the field are Messrs. F. I. Osborne, W. W. Flemming and W.S.Norment. Although there haS been considerable talk of others there will probably be no other names before the people, unless it appears that an effort is to be made to elect a Republi can straight out. which has been dis cussed on the streets for several days. uumor has it that orders have been is sued by leading Republican authority that inasmuch as the Democratic vote will be split by the Democratic candi dates, a Republican must be elect ed, for the moral effect it will give that party in the State. This rumor can be traced to no authentic source, but if it should be true, and that result should be accomplished, it will be unfortunate for the Democratic party. Let Demo crats beware, and be on the lookout. Probably it would be well for them to refrain from voting until developments show whether there is to be any effort of this nature. AVe do not hesitate to say in that event that party supremacy ought to assert itself at once,and we are free to say that we belieye neither of the candidates iow in the field would be willing to jeopardize the interests of the Democratic party, ven if it should become necessary to put up some other standard-bearer. A Postal Unaddreiised. Now, here it is again. Harry .writes a postal card to his mother, hoping these rew lines will hnd her the same, telling her that he will certainly be back next week, and that in tbe meantime she mustn't fail to kiss Eddie and Lemuel. We refer to tbe matter to make Harry feel bad about not having directed the postal card, as well as to let his mother know when she may expect him back ; and, further than this, in order that Ed die and Lemuel may be given the os culatory exercise recommended in the premises. Harry may copy off his pos tals in a hand never so iree, out as long as he doesn t direct them he can never hope to be the ruler of the Queen s Na- vee, and he may expect the boys at the postomce to continue to send his com munications tO THE OBSERVER, Election of Officers.
