THE oopENsBURe DIRECTORS.
The aMayor's Clean Sweep Programme
Runs Against Stump.

The meeting of the stockholders OF the
Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad Com
pany was a limited affair-lim ted IN the
number who attended and limited IN
performance. There were present the
president, the clerk, the mayor and an
out-of-town stakeholder. The board Oh
aldermen had on the previous DAY
mapped out the programme provluing
for clean sweep of the Kepuollcan
members of the board and the supstieu-
ton of Democrats. The perqulsites at-
tached to the Office are only free pass
for each director, but this proved sufflc-
lent to attract great many democrats
and the mayor has been pestered 1of
some time past by applicants, all OF them
s'political friends whom he did not
like to disappoint. He felt much re-
lieyed when the board of aldermen set
tied the matter, or apparently settled it,
and instructed him to cast the vote of
the city's stock for the list of Democrats
published yesterday. But when he went
to the meeting yesterday he discovered,
much to his chagrin, that all was not
smooth sailing, and adjournment was
taken to next Thursday. The reason for
adjournment was not given, but it was
rumored that the mayor had discovered
that the bylaws of the corporation for
babe the change Of more than four di-
rectors at one time, and SO it was neces-
sary to get the board of aldermen and
chop out some of the gentlemen who had
been selected to enjoy free trips to the
mountains next summer.

The Burns BANQUET.

The Mayor of the city and other men
and women of note will be present at the
Burns banquet to be given at the Preble
House on the anniversary of the poets
birth, January 25th, and the affair
promises to be rarely enjoyable. The
impression that the celebration will be
confined to Scotchmen and their de-
scendants, is a mistaken one. The fame
of the poet is 'sas wide as the waters be-

that a portion was suppressed in the

On Saturday last Hugh Moran and

ranch of their own on the north side.
The exact locality is a secret, SO we will
not go into details: OF course they did
not hunt any on Sunday, but they did
hunt SO late Saturday night. and began
again SO early on Monday morning. that
Sunday was really shorter than the day
before the one on which a big note falls
due. The pair bagged a nice lot Of big,
fat mallards. which were very consider
ately distributed among appreciative
friends. the JOURNAL being deservedly
classed among this kind of people. We
feel like encouraging duck hunting when
engaged in by people Of fine perceptions.
but there are some. who, w regret to
say. fall short Of this rank, and these
people ought to be discouraged when
they talk about going out. There is a
point to these remarks which we hope is
not too deeply hidden.
