Haying some doubts) on the subject, I
asked a prominent member of the bar to
look into the question for me. He has
done so and reports that in bis opinion,
the law renuirea the Alderman to reside
in the ward during his term, and that
to move out would necessarily work a ;
forfeiture. A personal investigation of
the subject convinces me of the correct- )

an organization that nobody except men
who have been in tbe Democratic ranks
could have done.
There have been several wagers made
on tbe contest so far. The amounts bet
raneed from $200 down to $5. and
neither side would give odds, except nere
and there an enthusiastic voter would
make a small bet with odds. An offer of
$500 even on Starnes was heard of yes
terday as having no takers. Of course,
now that Mr. Starne? has withdrawn,
these bets are off.
There has never in a municipal election
been such activity on the streets. Every
man who has influence, or supposes he
has, is buttonholing a friend who hap
pens to be on the other side of the fence.

speech in the court house Monday even

movement with a view to harmonizing
the two elements in the party, an I Mr.
Luther did not get to the place of speak

understanding that there would be no
