NO SPEAKING THERE.
NOT 4 cLUe or WARD MEETING YET
HELD N MANCHESTER.


Strange AZ II may seem. It r neverthc-
less true. that though. She primary cleo
ton b only about two weeks on there has
not yet been single ward or club meet
Ing during the campaign. and % far as
known the few bleeders and bummers IN
this city are doing . mighty poor busi-
ness.
No meetings are announced. and II Is
very likely that the people will go to the
polls on April Sd without having heard Q
single speech from the candidates. telling
why they should be elected, and what
they intend to do II given a chance to
serve the good and bad folk alike.
The candidates are doing some talking
among their friends, but there il very
little interest manifested. There Is good
material to select from. and the principal
fght Is for Commemorative Attorney,
for which place there are four applicants.
and at least three OF the four have been
mentioned as the winner. There are also
contests for Commissioner Of the Reve-
nue, Council from the First and Fourth
Wards. and Justice OF the Peace for the
Fourth Ward.

politely remarked the affable Colonel
Smith Oar amt nuthin' under dat bed

man. well, let's look any way" said
the officer. but 1t was no use, as Philip
came forth, and was taken to the station
