for last Saturday night and postponed
till last night in Difference to the ap.
pointment of Judge Gerald to spesk,
the -workingmen congregated at the
court house at O'Clock for the pur.
pose of placing candidate in the
field for mayor. Notwithstanding the
fact that the public had been notified
that none but workingmen, according
to the general acceptation Of that term,
we're expected to take part in the pro-
ceedings, large number of every
class of our citizenship was on hand,
including four candidates for
mayor. The meeting was called to
o,der and Mr.. Jonas Ulander elected
chairman.
Mr.. j.. P. Clark stated the object
of the meeting. Mr.. Charlie james
stated that he thought all present had
made up their minds as to who they
would vote for for mayor, and oppos-
ed an expression of the house, for the
reason that it would amount to about
the same as primary election with
out binding effect,
Mr.. J.. A. Hinchman then arose and
asked the privilege Of speaking which
was granted. He stated that tickets had
been circulated bearing the names OF
all the candidated for mayor except
that of his father, Major A.
Hinchman, and that it was scheme
to try to defeat him. He stat ed
further that a collection had been
taken up among the other candidates
to defray the expenses of printing
these tickets, and he had not been
called upon to contribute anything
which proved that his father was &
strong man and the parties who haG
them ;.rinted were afraid to submit
his name.
Mr.. Jack Garrett arose to exonerats
the other candidates from any blam,
for Major Hinchman's name not ap
pearing on the tickets and stated tina
he was the only ole to blame, that h
had them printed and left off tn
name because he was opposed to hin
and desired to use every honorabl
5 means in his power to defeat him,
Mr.. S. V. Pierce next spoke an,
stated that he was opposed to takin
any action, for the reason that quit
l. number OF candidates and othe
L political tricksters We're present. hi
idea had been to place the names {
!. all the candidates before a meeting {
o the workingmen and take
vote on them, submitting to choiC
of the majority, but he was unwillln
:, to take a vote at all since the propo
II ed workingman's meeting had bee
converted into a mass meeting au

n was made and the chairman faiin
in the confusion which followed,
