cheered. He said the meeting was called simply
for the purpose OF answering any questions tnat

centred In . committee OF nine, who met
every morning and 1t four O'Clock In
the afternoon, and they would continue
to do 30 until the day OF election. The
principal work was being done by those gentle

ally. Arrangements had been made In the various
election districts for the distribution OF their bal
lots. These ballots embraced the names OF the
candidates for State and county 0nices together,
with separate ballot designating the constitu.
tional amendments. They would be given to
every voter In the city before next Monday at
twelve O'Clock. Everything In fact had been per-
