PREPARING FOR THE REUNION.
Letters Indicate u Large Attendance
of Neterans-t Kind Offer.

There was a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Confederate reunion
held at Mechanics Institute last night.
Those present were General Peyton Wise
chairman, Captain Thomas Elicit (scc-
retarS), and MeSsrs. Charles T.. Wingo,
John Murphy, $. X. Gates, j. Taylor
Ellyson. Otway S. Allen. Robert y.
Northen. and Charles Il. Loehr.
Letters Of inquiry in regard 10 quarters
and general information were received
from Az over the Southern states, and
from the cities OF New York, Baltimore,
Washington. Lexington. Ky, Louisville,
Ky, ana from many points in Maryland
and Kentucky.
From Information received. it is evident
that a large number OF parties desire TO
stay in sloepns-cars while in Richmond.
The Committee on Transportation were
requested TO see the authorities of the
railroads centIing here and arrange for
securing a plenty OF track room, 50 that
all who desire to pack seepers during the
reunion may be accommodated.
General Wise was directed to have a
meeting OF all the military and Confede-
rate veteran surgeons, and organize Il
medical corps for The reunion, which VIII
be Of great benefit and service.
Mr. y. j. Smith rendered the committee
the use OF the "Old City Hail. during the
reunion free of cnarge The committee
expressed their high appreciation Of this
offer, and General Wise was directed 10
return TO him the thanks Of the COM
mittee.
The committee considered a great deal
OF routine work. such as music, printing
of badges. and decorations, and referred
them 10 appropriate committees.
As an evidence OF the immense crowd
that will be here, one railroad-man stated
to-day that he had made arrangements to
handle 1000 men from New Orleans, La,
in one lot, and the information from
Washington is that fully an equal num-
ber Will come from that city.

except Toledo and Cincinnati. He showed
also that Rchmond's debt per capita was
about seven times as much as Chieago's
and was more than that Of any other city
on the list. ex, ept Cincinnati. Rich
mond's expenses per capita were greater
too. than the expenses OF many other
OF the cities named. reaching as high as
per cent OF the true taxable values.
Mr.. Newton produced some figures on
gas-making. and said he was sure that
the present Superintendent OF the Gas
Works could and would make gas cheaper.
THE NEW CITY HALL
Asking the question. how Il was that
Richmond had gotten into its present
condition. Mr. Newton answered himself,
and, quoting the old adage. pride goes
before a fall," said: 1--WE had q pride 10
have a city hall. and we butt one. Now
we have got TO pay for the folly. BY
erecting the building the city has been
deprived Of $1,000 per year for street and
other improvements. which would nave
gone In wages TO the workinGmen.'
The speaker said he didn't hold the
Council Of Richmond any more responsi-
bic for the new CITY Hall than be did
himself. II was the duty Of the citizens
OF Richmond 10 have protested at the
proper time.
When Mr. Newton took his seat Mr..
Leon Wallerstein, who expressed himself
as very much In favor Of the movement
arose and propounded several questions
10 him. lie said that II IT was neces-
sary to cut down salaries, he favored
cutting them down, as the city govern
mcnt should by al means be carried on
within its legitimate income.
Mir. Newton answered all Of Mr.. Wal
lerstein's questions, which tended only to
bring out more statistical details.
CAPTAIN KINGS VIEWS.
CAPTAIN John J. King. an eX-member OF
the Council. was the last speaker of the
evening He is mechanic, and he said
he had no patience with a mechanic or
with any one else who opposed the league
because 1t sprang from the Chamber Of
Commerce He said his whole associa-
tions had been with the wOrkiEgmen. and
he had never attempted to quit that
society. lie was not opposed to capital,
