Clans DO Not Rally Mach.

Clans DO Not Rally Mich.
Every man opposed to the present usur-
patton" was called upon to assemble last
night at his proper and respective ward
meeting place.
Ii every man thus opposed did there and
then present himself, then few indeed are
the opposers.
After much inquiry relative to the pro-
posed display in the high hways and byways,
! the reporter could CLEAN no intelligence.
No one seemed to know or care about know
ing anything i'll relation to this little side
show. Resolved to find out something
about it, in order to enlighten the indiheI-
ent and eviscerate the whole subject, the
reporter Wen: to Dryades market. Now
here, he thought, here will be something
glorious; here in the good old Filst will be
seen grand outpouring; here the people
will surely enthuse, they will indigrify, they
will come forward promptly to oust all
office holders and put in the men OF the
right stripe.
He is not disappointed, for there In the
midst OF some fifty men, women and little
children, stands the form of ex.Mayor John
R. Conway. People may think this was
small meeting. but was not ex, Mayor Con.
way there 3 He did not speak. but he
looked. There was no brass band. there
was need of none. Mr.. Booth was there,
and spoke--you all know how he did it.
Louisiana groaned, OF course; he would in.
sist upon having her ground under the heel
of the usurper, SO poor Louisiana groaned
and was grinded. Booth got through at
last, and some resolutions were passed, and
as nothing could be found out about them,
it is presumed they were the usual sort.
The gang then dispersed.
SECOND WARD.
About a hundred persons rallied around
the Louisiana Hotel hast evening for the
purpose Of holding meeting TO Genounce
the present government and to elect dele.
gates to the convention that is to assemble
in this city Oh tho twenty fourth instant. A
slight embarrassment was caused by Mr..
John Diamonds refusing his permission to
have any political meeting of that nature
held under his roof.
The anxious seekers finally settled upon
Mr.. John U'Neilrs cotfeehouse and there
assembled. Mr.. John UNeill himself was
sick IL bed. but, anyhow. the boys had their
little meeting out.
Some one trotted out list of delegates
and requested the meeting to choose them.
Mr.. Rober, }. CIohecy objected to that way
of doing business as entirely irregular. On
this the crowd protested against Mr.. Clio
hecy by boots and yells. Mr.. Cloheey pro
ceeded to inform them he was an old resi-
dent of the ward and taxpayer. and as
such he naturally had M sympathy with
his opponents. The meeting was illegal,
and he did not approve OF that manner Of
e!ecting delegates. lie protested against
the whole proceeding and washed his hands
OF the matter 10y clearing out. followed by
yells OF indignation.
The GROVE. then elected delegates, as fol-,
lows: Messrs. John O'Neill, II. D. Ogden,
John Hurley. DR.. Samue! Choppn, =. Ad

enough. Ha: ha! Grand outpouyings
TENTH WARD.
The Indignation lay Ou. was 70 have been
exhibited at the Upper City Hotel. but
somehow or other the thing banged in
Magazine Market. Perhaps the immense
concourse o; eighty odd persons who at
tended the display couldn't find room in

bles. Let 1t be as it may, Hon. Randall
Hunt and John Phelps we're elected dele

FIFTH WARD.
The St. Louis rotunda was sne gathering

But j: diILt pan GU. well even here,
although they could have abused every
thing in TWO languages. This place. you
will reco'ect. is the stronghold Of the

places. The attendance was Slim. Perhaps
BazaiHe's trial absorbed all the time Of the
suffragans, or may be they didn't care much
about the subject under discussion. Let US
hope that those who failed to be present at
this and ali the other meetings will live to
survive their disappointment. Ii we have
done aught in this hurried report that in
any way can dispel their regrets, then we
thank heaven that printing was discovered
and fa,ces not written in vain.
