BIRMINGHAM.—The only occurrence in the electioneerini;
movements of this borough during the past week is a challenge
offered by the committee of Mr. Sturge to the opposing com-
mittee of Mr. ivluntz, that their comparative claims for sup-
port should be submitted to a town's meeting, and offering
to abide by a decision of the majority as to which of the can-
didates
_shall retire from the contest. The reply of . Mr.
Muntz's committee is to the effect, that such a decision will
necessarily be taken on the day of nomination, and that no
previous declaration is Liccessarv.
