consider the matter under any cir
cumstances.
J. z. Stewart said he had not
learned anything except what all

a division, to bring about unity. /
have tried to show the necessity Of
all acting solidly. / do not think we
can afford TO divide. / am heartily
in favor Of unity.

pie. They voted for /. ID. Haines
because they thought he was 4 good
and popular man; but II he was not
they were willing to have a change
made. This statement was met with
applause.
The mayor said an affidavit was
prepared in answer 10 the charge
that conspiracy had been formed
between the people Of the Third
and Fourth wards TO get in a certain
ticket. Mr.. Barber then read the |
which was signed by quite
8 number Of the delegates.
The mayor again spoke and said |
that he had taken no part directly or |
