1t was meeting, the like of which had
never been witnessed before in all of the
history of the city. If the city admins
tratiOn- Cal!aghaH clique ever before had
any doubts about the opposition to them
that exists those doubts vanished on
Saturday night, when over three thousand
of the voters of this city held what
was virtually a mass meeting in every
sense of the word. The mass OF people
was so large that nearly thousand were
unable to get into the Houston street
theatre building and had to remain out
side. but did so cheerfully, and were Just
as enthusiastic over the proceedings as
those who got inside, where there was
scarcely breathing space.
Not since the meetings OF the revivalist
Sam Jones has anything like this one
been witnessed and it outnumbered any of
his gatherings.
The purpose of the mass meeting was
unmiStakable and there was no delay in
expressing it in brief and determined
tones. 1t was to name ticket that would
sweep into oblivion with an irrisistable
torrent the autocratic and ruinous rule so
long in vogue in this city and strike her
letters and shackles from her.
The meeting assembled promptly at the
