Mr.. Haskins said he was glad to be
present, but he did not want to make

for Democracy.
After Mr.. Haskins concluded, Nessrs.

Trouble Getting Home.
About half-past 3 q number OF the pic
nickers gathered in the depot to await
the next train, due at 3:ij. Quarter to
4 came. but the train didn't. Half an
hour or so afterwards it hove in sight,

several friends were seated on friendly

OF the Board of Aldermen, and City
