Only four short months have elapsed since tho
municipal election aud tho triumph of the Poo
plea Party. The event ia not go remote that
people will fail to remember the enthusiastic nc
clamations with which the victory was VOL
comod; the delight Of Mr.. Hosing, which could
only find appropriate expression by hoisting the
German flag the assurances Of municipal
millennium which woro vouchsated by tho Stdats-
Zeitung; tho large promsos Of Mayor Colvin.
glowingly set forth IN his inaugural; and tho
hearty and fratornal manner in which Colvin,
O'Hara, Hesing, Buffalo Miller, Tom Foley, and
Hil1reth embraced eaoh other In . Scotch Irish
Decentralization hug, and congratulated them-
solves and The reHt ct the city that 0hlcago had
boon saved from the muckera and wasHor-scm-
pols, and TINT the great and good Colvin had
been public-spirited and magnanimoua enough
to quit baggago-smashing and sorve as tho head
Of tho party to conduct 1t through tho municipal
term, ana to rescue the city from tho dangers
which we're threatening It,.
Only four short months have olapsed, and tho
affairs of tho Peoples Party have got into such
q Hnarl that meeting of tho principal proprie-
tors is called to tnke account Of stock. Tho
meeting WAS hold in tho "Bantilo" On Saturday
Inst, aud there wero present Il. O. Hesing, Il. 3.
Millor. Dan O'Hara, Barney Oauldold, Commits
siouer Sheridan, Gen. Ltcb, ind Aldermen Gull
lorton, Bailey M. b., Stout, Lcngachor, Mahr,
Foley, schmitz, Corcotan, Hildroth, o'Drlon,
Cannon, Bailey It. H. Murphy, Lynch White,
schaGner, aud Richardson. That tho mooting
Was not OF q jubilant character Ia evidont from
tho fact that it was socrot one, aud that tho
prusBian flag was not flying oyor tho "Bastile."
Tho reader, in looking over the roll, will obsoryo
that tho tail Of the party was thore, but whero
was the head? Whore WAS Colyin7 Where was
this Cinoinnatus Of tho expresB.ofllce who so re-
luctantly loft his trunks and boxes to savo tho
city from tho Puritans? The nageta Of tho party
wero carefully examined by Mir. Hcsing, but the
head Of tho concern was missing. There
was plenty Of tail and legs laying
round tho "Dastile," but nothing look
ing like heal WIS to bo found.
Er. Heaiug announced tAis fact to the tail.
Mayor Colvin WIS said to be fraud and fail
treated tho Aldermen ahamefuily. Tho party
J had no hold upon Colvin. Ho could not DO de-
pondcd upon. He had nominated Louis Wahl
without consulting anybody. Mr. Honlng'a
! cholce was Phil. oon1oy, but Colvin had paid nc
attention to him. Colyin had promised tue
! place to half-a-dozen people, and gono back on
| all Of them, and selectod Wahl, who waa not Of
their party. The only consolation which Mr.,
HeBlng could administer WAS, "For Gods sake,
atiok to the party" And Gen. Lieb aroae anI
begged thcm, "for God's sako, stick to tht
party" and Sheridan. and Oauldold and Hi
droth, aud 0'Hara,-all aroso and boggod then
to stick to the party. And Buffalo Miller arost
aud not only begged them "for Gods sake, tt
stick to tho parity" but also claimed tha
ho had had d good deal Of experience 1t
politicH, aud that ho always found tha
d man who went back on Ills party can't
out at the little end OF tho horn, AMI
narrated q story Of 4 fellow who dosortot
his party and brought up In tho Ponitenttary
Tho natural inference to DO drawn from all thl
is, that, as Buffalo Miller went baok on the no
