CITY AFFAIRS.
THE HIGH JOINTS.
The Climax Of Their Iabors Mt Hand.

Monday morning the members Of the Commits
sion displayed unusual alacrity in getting to work
and they we're up early and assembled 10 Parlor
for consultation. few strollng patriots from
Packard's camp awaited admission, but the High
Joints did not seem 10 relish the interruption.
The programme OF the morning was waiting
one, and news from the Democratic CAUCUS was
anxiously awaited. The activity OF the members
showed that some extraordinary movement was
on hand, for Messrs. Mcveigh and Harlan left the
81. Charles about 1915, and, after consultation

where he was closeted for some time. Ii was
impossible to learn the object OF his mission, but
rumor had it that he was the bearer Of the Com
missions views on the question Of adjustment.
Up to noon nothing had been received from the
Nichols caucus Of definite character, but iusi-
nations are thrown out that the action OF Sstur-
day night was fully endorsed.
As was stated by the DEMOCRAT Monday morn

the High Joints will speedily come to an end and
that they will leave for home pretty soon.
LAST EVENING
the Commission did little or nothing except to re-
ceiye those who desired an interview. About
half-past 7 O'Clock committee from the Repub-
lican party put in an appearance, with the follow
ing members present: Judge King, OF the Peck
ard Supreme Court Tom Anderson, OF the Re-
turning Board MIR. Desmarais, Judge Morris and
u number OF others who wanted to represent the
Packard side Of the case. After this committee
had adjourned the High Joints awaited patiently
the arrival Of some news from the Democratic
caucus which had assembled at half-past
o'clock p. m.

now but what the Boss men are weakening, and
that they want to find safe landing place. The
opinions expressed by the most prominent mem
bers of the party are that the Commissi on have
gone back on them, and they have no hope ahead,
AT THE RoTUNDA
the talk was, rs usual, most volumnous, and, ss
usual, il didn't amount to much, There were
those who thought the embroglio would last FOR
some time TO come, and then again there were
those who were willing TO lay their money down
that to- day would settle the question. In fao'
now that Gen. Plessanton's theory about the blue
glass theory is so generally accepted it ap-
pears the blue glass theory has been generals
terview Of Mr.. Mcveigh with Pack seems to have
caused considerable OF stir in the hotel, and the
uncertainty OF his reasons for such visit had
more than the ordinary effect upon the cdadiRt
present there.
There WAS anything but o gladstone Wow Of
things at the Hotel, and the bottom their hopsF
seems tumbling out.
LATER.

turned q verdict according with the facts.
