A committee of five has been instructed with the preparations of a declaration of principles (platform) which should be read in the meeting next Friday. For the purpose of holding the Primary according to the Crawford laws, the Republican party leaders decided to adjourn the City Convention until the last week of February or the first week in March instead of the middle of this month, as was intended earlier.
In the spring the offices of 20 Republicans and 14 Democrats of the City Council will expire. The Civic Federation will nominate candidates for the Town Council in all such wards, where the political parties have nominated objectionable candidates.
