to visit Mr.. Jefferies at Denver
aud lay the matter before him.
A motion was made and carried
without dissenting vote to in-
struct the council to pass the
ordinance and then the mass meet
ing adjourned and council was
convened. Mr.. Breckenridge then
moved that al emergency existed
and that the ordinance be put

WAS called it was found that Mr..
Breckenridge had stampeded his
men back into line, but the ordi.
dance was not put on it's passage
There is a lesson to be drawn
from this mass. meeting, aud that
is this; A few men in every CON-
munity practically control the
balance. A few determined, reso-
lutte men handle every community.
The masses have no minds Of
their own and are lead blindly by
the men of brains aud action.
