tation TO every one interested in the
rake up of the next municipal ticket
TO attend and asst IN selecting tie
most fitting persons for the several
positions. This was done. with view
TO future harmony aud concert OF
action as desirable substitute for the
factional differences which have often
heretofore prevailed, aud it must GER
iainiy be regarded, judging By the re-
suit, as q. gratifying success. Off
course there will be some few indiyid-
uals here and there who failing. or de- |
clining to attend and take-part in the
proceedings, that will find fault with
what was done, aud speak perhaps,
disparagingly of what TRANSFERRED.
The history of such things show
"TwAs EVER THUS"
but where everything was fair and
square, open and above board as in
| this instance, il is in bad taste TO say
the least of it, for those who determln-
eddy stayed away to make any COM
plaint whatever with regard to what
was tloae ; aud indeed 1t would be
worse than bad taste for them to DO
so in the face of the unanimity that
prevailed at the meeting, there not
being a single dissenting voice to any
thing that was done. Such harmon
ious thinking alike is rarely seen at
j mass meetings where Offices of emolu-
ment aud honor are inquestion.
4 One feature OF the proceedings ex-
cited more than ordinary interest. 1t
was communication endorsing the
body corporate and requesting their
reelection signed by forty-eight of the
colored voters within the corporate
limits. This was something that had
never before happened, and the meet
ing promptly received il and made it

here we may properly refer TO IL as a
marked evidence of the harmony thai
exists between the races in this section
