ly of their means. II Is said that some
few Of them arc wholly bankrupt. Last
night TaTnmany Hall was deserted, and
the enthusiasm Of the members who could
be found at the Club Rooms throughout
the city, seemed TO have departed. The
Reformers believe that Rosa would have

counts for the result. The election Is TO
be contested. The great victory for re-
form was the principal topic to-day In all
circles, throughout the city. At City

bewildered. Upon the door Of the Mayors
office is the following placard, in blazing
letters:
