Edward 8.

The same facts were elicited in this as in the case of Lovett.

Mitchell, ‘ self-educated me gro, and sprinter‘by trade, was nominated in the swealthiest and most ‘aristocratic ward in the city against one of the leading lawyers of Boston. The ward is the hottie of John A. Andrew, and Con gressman Sam Hooper. An attempt is being made by some of the Republicans to prove that there was a wrong count of the ballots, and that the nomi nation belongs to Harvey Jewell, but they will probably fail. The other negro nominee is K. G. Walker, of Charlestown, a man reputed to be equal in talent to any of the Radicals yet nominated for the Legis lature. Both will probably be elected. Joan M.
