The meeting them adjourned.
The proceedings we're conducted wit b
order and decornm, and the business
was transacted with neasness and dis
patch. Peace and unanimity OF mind
prevailed, and everybody departed salts
fed.
Although the 9th day OF March and
the city hall were set forth in the pub.
lished call as the time and place for the
assembly Of citizens irrespective Of party
for the selection OF candidates
those who assembled ct Turner hall
had q perfect right to do SO. But 60 had
the citizens who bolted from the FIRST
ward cauous last week and placed an
other candidate for alderman in the field.
The results of to-nights proceedings can
only be conjectured but rumors as to
what will be done are numerous. 1t ia
maintained that only o candidate for
city marshal will be nominated and the
choice of the convention will probably
be between @. N. Wright and George
