had a rousing Antf-Ring meeting in
Woods Hall last evening, which cane

corn curist. KalIikrates Kapsicum Pang-

committee the Major-Doctor was invited
to speak at the meeting, and so

under engagement by the Republican
State Committee of New York every
other evening during the week. When
the committee heard this they immedi.

attend a wedding in JERSEY City and they
