Tho at- tondance wan very fatgo aud ravpectable, An ear-pioreing fifer and a couple of hard-working drummers furnished the mueical portion of tho programtne, which was a8 choico aa it wau patti- otic and koul-stirring. Mr. Witliam Williams presided, and called tha meeting to arder, Lx-Ald. Gill statod that the meeting was for the purpose of discussiog tho tesucs of the cam- paign, aud catled upon Mr., Joln Jones, County Commisslonor, to address the mecting. Mr. Joucs, i responding, uaid they all knesw the importance of the cawpaigu as well as bo did. It wasof greater importance to the citi- zens than any preceding conteat. In tho Great Firo wo lost our publio builaings and proporty, which catastrojlie placed us in rather embar- romsing circumstancos. Those buildings bad to bo rebuilt, and tho Court-Houee, whicl would cost between 2,000,000 and £3,000,000, had al- roady beon commonced under conditions whleh demanded the constant attention of tho tax- payere.

Thero waa no bolp for 1t, ‘ths Constizution evi- ddently intended that honest wmen should cumposa that corporation, and not that the political xoum of tho city and county should huve such impart- aut interests intrusted to them. Thoy would seo, therefore, that hovest, focorruptivlo men wore needed, and Lo nrgod upon them to aupport the Ropublican ticket, which was most desory- inz of tho sunport of ‘honest men. r.

It was for tho elcators to sy fua certain rospect whether the vacaucies 1u that Board stiould be filled by honest, relisblo wen, or whother men should be elected to join hands with tho tbieving rnug who now ran thnngs much as they ploased. The speaker here advocated tho clalmm of Murry Nolson and Johu Jones aa mont who would honestly sttend to tue intervets of tho tax-payers, 'The Board noeded punifying, and thoy had the oppoitucity no# to comincuco tbe work, aud, whatever political pre- dilectious tlsy posscaacd, Le trusted they would be true to themscelvoa and elect tho Kepablican candidaies, ‘There were other ofiices to fill,— notably that of County Treasutor, The city furnishod a lamentable incident of what some men would do in such & position.

'Tho Nopublicans bad placod an eucellent man n the feld, whom it was their duty 1o support, Aftor s few scathing remarks ov ihe juforionty of the Oppositivn ticket, Gen.
