There is nothing important there now,
either as to the Mayor or as to the
~ gnayoralty.

strenuous efforts.
Captain Mccarthy promised amid great
laughter to try and have the salary OF
Tie office increased if elected.
at is not Of greatest Importance that
should be elected Mayor" he said, much
less important is it that any OF the other
fellows should be chosen"
Statement Set Them Wild.
In closing, Captain Mccarthy delivered
an eloquent pcroration, in which, he
said: IF you make me your chief eXecu-
tive. Cod being my helper, | will lay tho
Office back in your hands when | retire,
and esteem IL ans honor which any man
might covet, T"
This concluding sentiment provoked
great cheering, but the enthusiasm did
not reach Its climax until Chairman
satterfield read n note from Colonel
George Wayne Anderson, in which the
latter announced that lie had determined
70 retire from the race. Almost the en-
trie audience stood up and waved and
cseered. and yelled, .'Hurrah for Nc
Carthy." The encouragement came like
n tl,underhot from .. clear sky, and the
instant it wasSread the supporters of the
city accountant seemed 10 realize that
the stock of their favorite had taken
another upward bound.
The statement of Colonel Anderson, as
read by Chairman sattcrtield, was as
follows:
II April "A, 1901
To the Chairman OF the Corcoran Hall
Meeting:
Dear Sir,--I respectfully ask that you
will announce in my hchalf to the meet
Ing over which you preside that have
determined at a late hour this afternoon
20 withdraw from the race for the mayor
atty for reasons which will be fully set
y forth in The public press.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE WAYNE ANDERSON.
