Great, indeed, would the disaster be if this city were again to fall in the hands of a " 'dobe" administration. Heaven, he urged, is with those who are in the right, notwithstanding the Introduction of home rule measures and the opposition of an American congress.

All morning the forces had been at work. New combinations were sprung but fell before be-fore the formidable blows of a later one. The delegate had to he buttonholed for the "last" time and a screw driven In his courage. cour-age. The delegates themselves found life a monumental mockery, for no sooner bud they been interviewed by the myrmidons of one set than were they seized by the strikers for another. The great task was to unite on a slate that would go through and yet preserve pre-serve Its strength. There was nothing in forcing one that would be btoken on or before the eve of battle. Everybody shared the conviction that Judge liaskiu was the right man for mayor. He was ripe in political wisdom, argued the hosts, and at the same time, possessed of ( backbone.

Afternixiii Session. The Intermission afforded the candidates abundant opportunity to look after their fences, and some stubborn blows were dealt. The dark horse rested his hope in a great measure upon the possibility of a dead lock between the. Kyau and Vandereook forces and congratulated themselves that if this could be achieved lie could slide in without disturbing a bridge behind him. These were the speculations in the antechamber, ante-chamber, and when at a o'clock tbe gavel again descended upon the table many a bold pass had been made.

The stormy rivalry hi the bay above w as adjourned to the spacious pavilion below where it was mellowed, whore asperities were softened, and where acrimouics incited under the melodies of an orchestra that had been wisely substituted for the brazen necks of horn and trombone.
