5but his own nerve, and the fact that he
Is well armed and well accompanied,
has thus far saved him from their n1Yr; q = y J;

been so summarily and in severaliin+
lstances SO fatally punished astto give
the ebels q fair foretaste of what may
be expected should force be attempted
against the Police ommissioners. On
the day previous to the late election
l'for Mayor, the traitors seeing that the
lfQnionmenwere.d determined to exclude
them, advertised their determination
to march to the polls in a body. But
when this example was followed by a
similar advertisement on the part OF
tsthe, Boys iniBlue," the famous chiv-
airy did not show, their faces, and the
contest was decided by the only men
who had earned the right to vote, Z. On
