There have been several cases of cholera morbus'

There has been quite political fermentation
here for some days past. The German adopted
citizens held meetings not long ago and passed res
olutions rather exclusive and dictational. THIS
aroused the native blood and an immeme meeting,
was held in Monument Square night before last,
rallying under the name OF the Great American
party. About four thousand persons were present.
Several speeches made and considerable en-
thuslasm. just rebuke was administered TO the
exclusive and seemingly anti American spirit
which was evinced by the Germans. It's the puT.
pose of this party to bring out a full nomination
for all tn State and city offices. Thus, you per-
ceive, we have another element in the political
arena, which promises to annoy both the old par

Wild eagles sweIls the anthem OF freedom over
