The Eagle has always contended that
the citizens movement was Demo-
Pop fusion scheme. The claim was
borne out by yesterdays convention.
Not man spoke, made motion or
served on committee that was not a
Democrat or a Pop. If there was Re
publican in the convention VINO either
spoke or made a motion the chairman
or anybody else is challenged 10 pro-
duce him or mention his name.
The Eagle believing that all should
be heard gives space to the following
call brought TO the office last night.
Mr.. Jennings:
MASS CONVENTION.

property holders, business men and
voters, both ladies and gentlemen, who
are in any way dissatisfied with the
city administra ton of the past two
years, Is called TO meet in the Auditori-
UNI Wednesday, March 20 at O'Clock
p. M, for the purpose of nominating an
independent Citizens ticket, advocat-
ing retrenchment in municipal affairs.
BY order of three committees OF ciu-
ZenS.
NOTES OF THE FIZZLE.
Some ladies are expected 10 be at the
convention today.
Major Powell peremptorily refused
yesterday to be candidate for mayor
on the citizens ticket They tried hard
TO give him the empty honor
While the convention was at recess
John K. Charlesworth and g. V. Fritz
ellie held d meeting back in the corner.
They're talking religion now, said an
eX-gambler who sat near the Eagle re-
porter.
Another gentleman who was missed
from the convention was Rufus Cone.
Be il said TO the credit of Rufe's good
sense, he is said to be not in favor of
the movement for personal and politi-
Cal reasons.
Willie Ayers has a bee in his bonnet
for city clerk. 1t buZZed awful hard
yesterday. He was advised TO keep
out of the race and he probably VIII
after witnessing the ridiculous Seance
at yesterdays convention.
Colonel Bird was sadly missed from
the convention yesterday. There is
not near so much spice in a Pop con-
vention with Colonel Bird absent Per-
haps he kept himself out of the way
TO avoid having the mayorality nominal
ton thrust upon him.
The convention is not yet satisfied
with MIR. Carey as mayorality timber.
\ delegation of them was around to {.
w Biting asking him TO run. MI.
Biting il too sharp to be made a cats
paw of by the class of men who were
i'm the majority at the convention.
John 3. Carey will be the nominee
for mayor. There seemed to be an idea
prevailing in the convention that MI
Carey would spend some money in the
campaign. II tell you money makes
the mayor CO." said man who used
a ten penny nail for Sallus button
as he tried to convince q Mrs. Lease
boomer that Mr.. Carey was just the
man
