The re- great meet- tor Allison, ans had arranged for pub ing, and a speech from S and whether or not this fact caused the s muyor to arrange his meeting ers little, democra on the same evening, His band and transparency with a small gang following marched down where the torchlights were gathering, tried to drown out the opposition music, and pull the crowd away. All this was ncedless, for there were peopla enough to fill both the court house where Vaughan spoke and the Masonic temple, the scene of the ropublican railey. The mayor did not seem to have enough (nnl\ in his assertion that Council Blufls has 53,000 people, to run the risk of there being enough peo- ple to fill two halls on the same evening He evidently felt ashamed of his at- tempted but unsuccessful interference with the republican rally, and in the oponing of his address sought to excuse it. Ho justifiod himself by stating that he had invited the republicans to change their arrangements and bring their crowd down to the court house, and he would lot Senator Allison speak first, and then he would follow with his specch, The chairman of the republican committee, Mer. Jacob Sims, had by a written note declined to do 8o, the Jittle mayor read ing the note to the crowd, called atten- tion to the awful fact that Mr. Sims had not thanked him for the ir ation to break up the arrangements made, and He then entered on his narative of how he went east and how he camo back, a len, account of which & summary i As it was his av he ha ,«1 done, it was supposed that he would tell them 1y bonds had been issued, y were sold, just what they ash, what it cost to sell the some other like matters, but ve overluoked ma se statement of the most im- acts of the whole. After atating the main faots as to the law and the paving contracs he proceed- ed to tell the ory of the attempt to sell the bonds, He had Alderman Attorney Mynater prepare a logal opinion for the banking house of Burnham, Tulleys & Co. Just why the city attorney was not called on is not stated. That banking house sent out circulars to large eastern cities, describ- ing the bonds and giving statistics about the city. The mayor saidhe found these circulars a hindranco rather than a help, because tho cireul not show Burn- ham, Tulleys & Co, was a banking house, and did not state clearly that the bonds were Council Bluils bonda, The name of the security was *‘city improvement bonds in thae circuiar, and the amount of issue placed at §140,000, whereas according to the mayor there was but §40,000 of “‘city improvement bonds” issued, the 140,000 issuc being simply “improvement bonds,” that is, a debt agaiust the city only by assumption, such bond heing ‘n‘u.-nm d ry the entire |.ruln") n the d, eaid pro- 7 being worth ove; 1t millions of valuation of at £1,000,000 the real valuat at $10, Hu 000. mayor said the real valuation ought to )\ ave been placed at §16,000,000 and that ors said it should be. ed valuation ho did not find fault, and as the asseszment i3 forty per cent of the veluation, it seems that of the asacseors think the re aluation to make oat ,400,000, instead 10 mayor objo contradited agsessed valuation of $4,000,000.

In his inaugural in March the mayor placed the konded debt at $147,000, which is not far very from $150,000 Alderman McMahon also sent oflicial circulars to eastern board-brokers but failed to sell any bonds. Alderman James made & slight attempt in Chicago but failed. Alderman Siedentopf made a sale of $40,000, but the buyers backed out, because they thought they were issued in violation of tho constitutional limit, Thecontractorscould not go on with the work without morey, and the Jitule mayor came to their relief. He secured the signatures of Wm. Mynster, county attorney, (the city attorney does not ap- pear on the list), Wright & Baldwin, who aro understood to be the attorneys for the contractors, Judge Aylesworth, Lieutenant-governor Manning, Col. Sapp, Judge Reed, J. D, Edmundson, Judge Rothrock and Horace Everett, declaring that in their opivion the bonds were legal. A special meeting of the council was called, (doubtless the secret meeting held in Vaughan’s back « e, ) at which Aldermen Seidentopf, Mynster, Keating and Gieise were present. A committee consisting of the mayor, and Aldermen Seidentopf and Mynster was appointed to go east and sell the bonds, The may- or said he offored €00 to be let off the committee, but they would not let him decline.
