governed the city, and that he had "made the
Mayors long enough" During the bank mobs In
1885, when Mayor Hunt ran away, it was difficult
owing to the great panic, to hnd chairman for a
public meeting of the citizens In the Exchange to
divise measures to put down the rioters. In this
emergency Mr.. d. nominated his friend Gen. Smith
