notorious Major Morse, undertook to boss things
at the Board Of Aldermen Monday night,
whereby the Reform nominees were rejected by
the Noble Eight, (Messrs. Crocker, Connolly,
Chase, Champion, Baker, Davis, Stewart, and
slater esssyed last night to get up meeting
OF his Ward Club at the Stevens school house.
The reporters for the papers were on hand, but
not soul else responded to Himber's call,
nevertheless that worthy furnishes . morning
have been adopted at a meeting Of "The First
Ward Republican Club" endorsing the action
Of the Noble Eight Of the Board Of Aldermen,
and also endorsing Mess,s syPhsn and Worn
men Tor the place. These gentlemen must feel
greatly delighted by the reinforcement of men
Of the Himber stripe. Himber now says that if
ne can only get his money he don't care d-n
for the corporation, or any body else-that he has
made $5 900, three houses and seven horses out Of
the corporation already, and that If he can work
through the remainder Of his little bill, he will
90 down south and take a railroad contract.
As Himber fought and bled in the Confederate
service ne can doubtless get most anything he
wants down there, but is il not rather impudent
IN rebel like him to get up resolutions making
the lying assertion that the Mayors nominees
were Democrats? So George Hatton. John H.
Crane and the rest or the rejected nominees are
Democrats" and Himber Is a Republican,
This is refreshiDgly icy for this hot weather.
