stated that [ had been informed that

good authority that there was a time
when actually business amounting to
$4,000 was connected with the Office,
but during the last two or three years
it was reduced to little over $4,000.

-AAAAA " az hCRAWAAN&M mE1@A1S~
Quite a respectable crowd assembled
at the School House at the head Of
Main Street, last night, to hear dis
cussed the interests of the city, The
Crescent City Silver Baud enlivened
the occasion By excellent music. A
huge bonfire lighted up the whole
neighborhood. The first speaker TO
take the stand was Dir. John F
Glover, who advocated the claims of
Mayor Baker to a reelection with
most forceable and convincing argu-
msents, enunciating the vast improve
ments that had been made under his
administration, with taxes far lower.
than under the previous admiuistra-
ton, which was Democratic He
thought that, with Mayor Bakers ex-
perience, all other things being equal,
he was the safest and most suitable
man to administer the affairs Of the
city.
He was followed by Major Blythe
Hynes, who spoke ably and eloquent
ly on the various points under dis
cussion, making a most convincing
speech.
Mr. john Bell, a laboring man and
a mechanic, spoke next, contrasting
the condition of the city nine years
ago with its present condition. He
made a very sensible speech, which
was attentiyely listened to, and was
received with manifest appreciation
by all present, except one drunken
Democrat--a Representative man
who in maudlin manner kept talk
ing all the while.
Mr.. William TrOuD made one of the
most pointed and effective speeches
we have heard during the canvass.
He spoke in behalf of the free schools
Of the city, showing that it was to the
especial interest of the citizens to fos-
ter that system by which the child of
the poor man, the laborer and the
mechanic, can obtain an education
equal to that of the rich man and
millionaire. He argued that the poor
man who paid a tax in proper
ton to his means had the same
right to enjoy the comforts
of a spacious and we'll ven
tilated school-room as the chill
dren of the nabob and real estate
speculator, and denounced the theory
enunciated by Mr.. w. H. Walker,
that shabby and cheap school houses
should be built for the children Of
the mechanic and laboring man,
pointing to the building where the
meeting was held, as an illustration
of the style of school houses that
Walker recommended His speech,
though delivered in plain and homely
language, had most telling effect on
the audience, who keenly feel the ia
dignity offered them by the Demo
cratic candidate for Mayer
+ Alexander Darling, candidate for
! City Marshal. was next called for.
Like Mr.. Walker, he Acknowledged
thathe was not great success as a
"speakest," but the general verdict
was that he could beat Walker. He
said many very sensible things,
among others giving the utteranees OF
his opponent as to the cause Of bis
defeat n the race against Philip Klein
last year.
The meeting closed with three rOus-
ing cheers for Mayor Baker and the

NEAT BooKs.-Yester5ay, while
the Democratic Committee were IN
vestigating the books and papers at
the Mayors Office, one of the Com
mittee remarked that Mr. McGmff
kept very neat set Of books; that
there was no interlining or erasing.
Another one remarked that the city
would never have another Clerk who
gould OF would do better, and that he
doubted greatly that the city would
ever have mau that would do so
we'll. The condition in which the
books and papers-the official records
of the city-are kept, is a just source
of pride to all.
