noon, while it drew large audience, was

was: Atlantas, 10; Browns, 8. Kilroy and
Burns, the regular battery of the Browns,
filled their positions, while Hamann and
Merritt, of the Clinches, took positions in

was stated, of reforming municipal at
fairs. Speeches were made advocating
| reform, and committees were appointed
to devise means for accomplishing this
object. AT a meeting held last week a

1t is believed, either favor Prohibition. or
are advocates OF $1,000 license. Should
MIR. Hemphill run, his opponent, in all
probability, will be Volney Dun
ming, member of the present COun-
Gil. The remaining nominees OF
the committee are good business
men, who have never been engaged in
city politics. The reform ticket will be
dIssected in public Thursday night. when
mass meeting will assemble. The prob
able action cannot be predicted with any
degree OF correctness. a strong feeling
prevails, however, that the ticket will
not go through without encOuntering
some opposition.
