They were entertained for half an hour by til
Hon. Emery A. Storrs, who said the comm
election was especially important in that it va
preliminary drill for that of 1850, when it va
to be determined whether jeff Davis vas to b

term, and had discharged the duties with the
strictest integrity, With great deal Of ability,

SPEAKING OF ALDERMEN,
alr. storrs said, 1'For Gods sake,
he had defended eleven rcformers in the
Criminal Court, and he thought no course was
SO good as the straight course,-no method SO
perfectly sure as to have as the nominee the
regular candidate OF SOME political organization,
He wanted to see every candidate accountable
to somebody,-1esponsiblc to somebody; aud,
