mean things about the council, In bis
official capacity, of course. Finally &C.
knowledgipg that he hadnt done anything
talked for thirty minutes about himself
and what great man he was for sending
Mike Quigley over to jail for ak months.
The resolutions which endorsed Robsr
were then read. There was tail end
clause to the resolutions that caused q
rumpus. II called for en- ordinance clos.
ing the saloons at q "seasonable" hour.
Somebody moved that the resolutions be
adopted and then John Ashenhurst go,
up. He moved to ar, md that the saloons
be closed "every d. in the week, every
week In the year nd every year In the
century" and 30 ~, ad inflnitum. John
Danner second Il II quicker'n scat.
Chairman II cid called halt. He didn'i
want any thug Of that kind, He said II
was all rlgb, but II wouldn't do.
DAnner then said that the council had
the power to close them and he wanted
them closed.
A. Kilt said that while he would like to
see them all closed he thoue ht the reform
ers ought to take what they can get.
Then an old fellow named e. Jones,
who talks through his whiskers, got up
and everlastingly damned IL to the pro-
hibitionists, the seloonists and John Dam
ner and everybody else but himself. The
chairman finally got him headed of.
Then came the sensation OF the even.
ing. Prof. Stokey said that he didn't want
to turn the meeting into farce by pask-
ing any such amendment as the one pro-
posed. He believed II was the right
thing, he wanted the saloons closed all
the time, he was certain IL would be the
correct thing to do, buthe couldn't vote
for 10. He pleaded with AsbenhurSt
70 withdraw II, but John ISM constructed d
on that plan. He was up In an ins'a ant.
He pushed his fist out into the aimoSs
phere and the air came together again
with an awful noise. II there had been
anybody there when that fist got to the end
of its string, that fellow would have been
going yet. John shouted "I'll not with>
draw IL. favor II because It is right, be-
cause it" but that's as far az the prohibit
ton orator got, when his voice was lost In
the general tumult. The amendment was
finally put to q vote and was lost by the
score OF "a TO 211. Then the origin al reso'
lutions were ut and 304 people voted for
them. The negative was not put,
90 Cassidy's vindication when the last
goal was kicked was 3o4 to 0, with 5sd
people In the audience to hear from.
The following committee was then APP
pointed by the chairman, to form q law
and order league: DR.. Fraunfelter, A,
Kilt, Herman Blum, James Sterling, H. II,
Whiting.
After tho ball was over Chairman Field
noticing that In the disturbance Cassidy
had been lost sight of, said: "Before you
60 want 80 ask one favor of you. Please,
please wherever you go, say kind word
for Mayor Cassidy"
The meeting ended with benediction
There Ia much good that might be done
In this city. There are many reforms
needed, but they will hardly mAteriaIizs
from meeting such az was held last
night. The resolutions state specifically
that the town has grown worae quite re-
Gently. Cassidy was mayor oil the time II
was getting worse. II II will assist the
cause any to endorse mayor for letting
the town grow worse under his admins
tratlop, the bene flU to be derived by the
citizens from such endorsement are no
apparent at this distance.
