through the mails In the early part OF the
week to the leading business men of Paw
tucket, setting forth the desires and re-
quirements of the citizens in the admin
istration of the affairs of the city, and re
questing them to assemble last evening
and nominate William II. Haskell for'
mayor, about thirty citizens gathered to-
gether in Music Hall Assembly Rooms
last evening. The meeting WAS called for
7:30 o'clock, but the above number was
not secured until long after the hour OF
o'clock, and II was evident that the
open refusal OF Mr. Haskell to accept the
nomination beforehand had taken the

H. II. Sheldon called the meeting to
| order, and generously accepted all the re-
| sponsibility Of calling tho meeting. He
asked for nominations for chairman, and

| nominated, but he declined, and said that
IL there was no one who would stand for
| chairman he would have to adjourn the
| meeting. Name after name was pro-
posed, but each declined in his turn, and
the meeting adjourned without doing
anything.
