strict spirit of the city ordinances.
The universal comment on the streets
since the expose was made 10 that
Mr.. RAIDER is an unfit man to fill the re-
sponsible position to which he aspires,
and that having been oulpable as a pri-
vate citizen OF technical breach OF
trust, is disqualified to act in an official

NOTES.
The most enthusiastic meeting ever
held in Sonoratown was called to order
last night in S. 1. B. M. hall. on Buens
Vista street. by j. Redona. president OF
the Spanish American club. Speeches
we're made in English, Spanish and
Italian, in which the issues of the day
we're freely and fully outlined. Par.
tioular stress was laid on the fact that
the Republican candidate for supsrin.

had been making promises to give
Spauish-American laborers work if
be should be elected. This 10 clearly in
violation OF the provisions Of the purity
OF election law, and the Spanish-Am

were only made in the hope of influence

was finished, dancing was INDUCED in
