The Conservatives Of the city assembled
iu ward meetings last night and elected
members of new City Committee to have
charge of the interests OF the party, and to
serve for one year. Though most Of the
meetings were ot very large they were far
above the average of such occasions, and
were marked by fraternal commingling oi
many Of those who became estranged during
the canvass of last fall. An entirely new
committee was elected. From the amount
of good material in it, it is reasonable TO
expect that it will come as near giving
satisfaction rs any previous body OF the KIND
has ever done.
