LONG BEACH, April 3.-The usual
Tuesday night wharf meeting was
we'll attended, and an interest
ing report as to the views of the citizens
as to choice OF locality was made by Mr..
Blount, who is interviewing the citizens
in detail on the subject. The last ticket
for trustees, announced last Tuesday
week (twenty days before election), was
an unwise move, and may lead to COM
plications that will retard the success of
the enterprise. There was no reason in
the world for such ticket as the CAUCUS
nominees, and the nominees by petition
two days later were avowed wharf men
and pledged to its support.

of necessity for the building of the
worse ignorance on the part OF some of

all in all it was shady transaction, and
our people we'll know upon whom to
place the responsibility. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Blount, Zack and L.
Decker, J. H. Smith, Joshua Smith,
