next 1t will be remembered that when the State
resumed The pa, ment Of the interest on its public
debt. the OF interest unpaid were funded at

and the net surplus on the 1t Of December, 1919,
will be much larger. To Dennis Claude, Esq,
our efficient State Treasurer, Is, IN great mea-

There was bur one death, and two lew ises Of
cholera, at the Aimshouse, yesterday, and the
physicians anticipate that /: will entirely disappear
in the course of few days There Is occasionally
deaths from dlarrhDa, dysentcry, and cholera

call cholera has yet appeared. Ward meetings are
about being called 10 appoint block committees,
and grand effort Is to be made to Keep the disease

members Of the Convention was a considerable
number OF tavern keepers, and fory-tve votes
out Of the one hundred were 1t is SAID, cast the
question to whether the candidate presented
was, or was not, In favor Of repeal OF the law
preventing tavern keepers from selling liquors on
Sunday This was the first movement OF the Sc
cret organization among tavern keepers 10 repeal
the law, and have no doubt il will be successful
that is to say, no man will receive nomination
unless he is pledged 10 the repeal of the law. The
prospect is that the election will turn altogether
on this point, ss learn an effort will be made
among the wings To nominate candidates pledged
to sustain the law. This will them the votes
Of all the various temperance organizations, and
probably enable them 10 carry the city
