proving, at their Sides The present Mayor of the
city gathered these hordes around him in Holiday
street, and addressed them from the steps of the
Mayors office; called them f'fellow- citizens "good
citizens" and 'fnofensive citizens" He told them
to go to their homes and rest assured that the
Mayor of the city would protect them on the cleo
