GRAND RALLIES.
The Advance of the Avalanche That
is Rushing Over the Ring

There were meetings all over the city
last night and they were Indignation
meetings. held by people who were in
cenSed at the outrage perpetrated on this
people by the mayor, who proposes to
count the city ring ticket in by the same
process that he declared the council ad-
jOurned by a vote of three for adjourn
ment and eight against it.
These meetings showed that popular
sentiment against the Sharden ticket
was even stronger than the ratio
of the votes in the council Against
the dictator and his three adjOurnerS.
In every ward and locality in this city
tinued to increase. Men who had in
tended to vote for some Of the candidates
on the city ring ticket became so thor
oughly disguised that they will vote the
entire anti-city ring ticket straight
through.
The peoples rally at TESTS garden was
rousing one, and of the 500 present nine
tenths OF them were for Paschal, Pro-
gress and Prosperity. They were ad-
dressed briefly by their chairman l. w.
Turner, next Mayor Paschal, Captain
Nelson Mackey, n. Levy and others.
There was a grand rally at Gus Airs
Hall, at which addresses were delivered
by Judge Z. M. Barnes and Mr.. Nat Sulz-
bacher, who were not there to praise
Caesar but to bury him politically.
There was another large meeting at
Grandjean'S hazel which was addressed
by MeSsrS. Levy, Moesay and Sulzbacher,

ly of the employees of the street
commissioners department met at
Mission garden and were address
Sed by Col. William Ferguson, Ed
ward Holtom and Prohibit mist can't
Stop, Robinson. The latter eulOgized
Capt. Shardein and abused George Pas
chal. The burden of his TRADE was that
George PaSchal was open to suspicion
because he was running for an office
which would pay him less than the one
he is now filling. Mr.. Robinson forgot
that exMayor Callaghan gave up the
mayors Office to run in the less lucrative
one of county judge, and he also forgot
to mention that the position OF mayor OF
this city which was one OF honor and that
Mr.. PaSchaI is not after the Office for the
money there is in it and did not seek the
office but was ouly induced to run, as
CincinnattuS was to leave his pillow and
serve his people, who want to change
the entire policy of the city government
The grand rally. however, will be at
the Central Garden on BOwen'S
Island tonight when thousands of
citizens will assemble and hear the
earnest and able addresses of George
PaSchal. William Aubrey, Peter Shields,

prominent speakers.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
A great many people were afraid that
Chief Peck'S store was on fire last night
when they saw the tiremcn there. but he
was only having a talk with them.
Lockwood'S presiding officer, Page, of
the Sixth ward, publishes card in which
! he says he will not recognize the Judges
appointed by the city council. He has
selected his set and they are all Shardcin-
ties.
AutOcratic ImpcdiOuS Lockwood has
asked for the opinion of Attorney General
CulbcrSOn on his action. Why don't he
send after HOgg'S militia and get the
governor to order out the Bclknap rifles
to compel the people to vote the city ring
ticket?
Everybody, even the few Shardcinites,
are invited 10 tne mass meeting AT the
Central garden tonight.
Lockwood doesn't even attempt to
apologize for his arbitrary action i'm de-
claring the council adjourned. He said
he was afraid that Thad Smith and Her.
man Kampmann were there to kill, muir
der and annihilate the whole council, and
that Joe CaSSianO and Nat Lewis were
going to eat them raw. The cOuncimcn
are all alive and well and Thad, Herman,
Joe and Nat are not in jail on charges Of
murder and cannibaliSm.
What is the dictator going to do about
the vote OF lack OF confidence" is asked
all around everywhere. He is liable to
demand the immediate resignation of all
Of the eight aldermen who voted for 1t
and against adjOurning.
Dictator Lockwood has gone to Austin.
"WilI HOgg turn the whole state govern
ment over to him?" is the question that
Everybody is asking.
There is no truth in the report that
Mayor Lockwood has sent for the Opin-
ion of United States Attorney General
Miller as to whether three votes out OF
eleven were sufficient to declare the city
council adjourned.
Gov. Hogg has officially recognized the
Lockwood dictatorship. His attorney
general has telegraphed to Lockwood but
his opinion does not seem to have salts
fed Lockwood because 1t did not decide
that three votes to adjourn could Offset
eight
