LES MISERABLES.

school House.

school House.
The speaking of the so-called independent
candidates, industriOuSly advertised yester-
day by the placard transported through the
streets with the indispensable fife and
drum, came of last night, according to ap-
pOintment, al MeKee's school hotse, in the
10th ward. a considerable crowd of various
hues and political views, not a few being
supporters Of the regular White Mans tick
ct, drawn out by curiosity, got together TO
hear the speeches.
Chris. Powers led off in one of his char
acteI iStic appeals for votes. He was fol-
lowed by Mai. J. II. McCann, who made a
long talk, contrasting his Ownpublic record
with that of James L. Bell, and endeavor-
ing TO prove himself more worthy than his
competitor of the peoples votes.
Loud calls were made for VIM. Davis.
candidate for County Court Clerk, but NJ.
NJ. Brien, Jr., appeared, and proceeded TO
deliver an address. He spoke with the air
of an injured and prosecuted man. He
evidently feels that McClain is pushing
him TO the wall.
The call being repeated for Davis, that
aspirant mounted the stand and made a
brief and moderate talk, not of political
DcaTiilg.
Mai Albert Akers was next called out.
He made il a point in the course of his re-
marks 10 ridicule the idea Of ''nominee. .
and said he ignored his competitor.
Robert 5. Patterson next took the stand
for the purpose Of forwarding his interest.
He was not received with enthu-
siasm nor applauded in the course
or at the close Of his remarks. He
was called for evidently through curiosity on
the part of portion Of the crowd TO hear
what he had to say Of recent events con-
nected with the prosecution Of his canvass.
His remarks were of temperate character
aud were confined mainly to an attempted
defense of his recent assault upon the city
editor of this paper.
When Patterson concluded, his Compel
itor, sam Robertson, colored, for the office
of jailOr, presented his claims in a short
speech, which was directed chiefly against
his colored competitor,
