THE SALOON-KHEPERS, THEY MEET ONLY TO TALK, A-speclal mecting of the Saloon-Keopers’ Asi elation was held yesterday afternoon at North Side Turner-Hull, John Feldkamp prealding. In calling the mecting to order, Mr. Feldkamp stated that they had assemble? to consider re- ports coming from Springfield to tho effect that vertain legislation was on foot looking to the injury of their business. No doubt the gentle- men who signed the call would fully explain matters. Peter Mucller stated that all their ogitation thus far seemed to have done them Jittle goud. ‘The temperance bills had passed the committecs and were now before the House, and some party ougltto be made responsible for this. ‘Tho quustion to be determined was which party they should support at the coming clection, Menry Largenhabo thought the question had been sufllciently discussed and settled at the Jost meeting without calllug it up again. Mr. Muctler traveled out of bis way by al- luding toa card in the Suuday edition of the Slaate-Zeituny, signed by Limsolf and Mcasrs, Hruder and Schwuchow, sand calling on Mr. Wright to snewer certain interrogatories anent bis temperance views. ‘The Chairman catled him to order, stating, that tho business before the meeting was the consideration of the Springiotd matters, 3, Bauin thought tho coll hadn't been suffi. clently explained, aud hoped they would bear something. more delinite on the subject.

Then Louls Schwuchoty moved to reconsider the yote by which, at the last meeting, It was deciled to leave It to the mambers to voto for just which candidate for Mayor they pleased. ‘hia motion was genorally looked upon as an affort to open up the Mayoralty question, and fo brig up the loose stories regarding Mr. Wright's views on the temperance subject, on which stories the card of Messra. Schwtchow, Mueller, aut Bruder was apparently based. All possible unpleasantness was avoided, however, by the Chairman's declaring the motion out of order, sluce it was not comprehended Inthe call. Having thus speat an hour or two in doing absolutely nothing, the meeting adjourned, CUTTINGS AND SHOOTINGS. SEVERAL NURDEROUS AFFRAYS YESTERDAY.
