The meeting was characterized by Il great
degree of earnestness, and outside OF half
dozen speakers, who were continually max
! ing utterly ridiculous motions and preposter-
onsly chimerical and impolitic suggestions,
the gentlemen handled the matter before
them with due consideration and circum-
spection.
AS an illustration of the complete failure
of pol tion of.the body to comprehend the
scope of the work before it, one committee
man proposed that the retiring aldermen
from the First ward be..requested to write no
more letters on ordinance No. 10. In fact,
for at least half an hour the meeting turned
its entire attention to this alderman.
Mr. Bean reported that the vote of the
council last January ON $3.50 license was as
follows:
Yeas-Allen, Dowlan, Otis, Robert and
Cornish.
Nays-Johnson, st. Peter, Van Slyke,
Fischer, O'Connor and Starkey.
At later meeting Aid. Allen voted in the
| negative, but now declares himself in favor
of a $500 license. The committee having
! sufficiently discussed Col Allen, proceeded
| to business.
Col. Bend, the secretary, read from copy
| of the GLOBE the resolutions as adopted by
the mass meeting. 1t was developed in this
way that the one pledge, the only pledge, that
ii candidate must make to this committee was
that he would vote for high license.
motion made by Mr.. Officer prevailed
that committee of fifteen be appointed from
the general committee to canvass the wards
| in which aldermen were to be elected this
spring, and secure the names of available
|
whole committee at some future time.
| Mr.. Gordon's motion that three members
of this committee be selected from each of
the five wards, First, Second, Third, Fourth
! and Fifth, in which aldermen are to be
| elected was also carried. 1.-TWO aldermen
are to be chosen from the Fourth and none
from the Sixth.)
