there was $284. 65 in the treasury.
This report will, we understand, be
published at an early date, and will
show the economy with which i the
officials have handled the town's
finances.
Mayor Jenkins then made a short
speech in which be reviewed the
work of the adminstration; the ob
stacles which retarded the town's
progress and the many difficulties
the Hoard bad tried to overcome.

cock for Governor, and we. will at

The following paper, drafted by
B. N. Rouse one of Jenkins' ardent
supporters, was read at the close of
the session. The result or the con

'counted his eggs before they
hatched, or had failed to reckou
his host.
"Feilow Citizen: We come with
joyful hearts now that the struggle
is over and our (Jenkins)side victo
rious, to congratulate you on the vic
tory we have achieved. Wo thing
our political views are right, and
though we sympathivo with our op
ponents (Austinites) in their defeat,
still we can imagine that this may
be a lesson teaching th6m to see and
turn from the error of their way.
We have all done our best to win
this victory, and the result will
repay us for any annoyances during
the contest, now are we in truth,
doubly victorious inasmunh as our
(Jenkins) side has resorted to no
unfair means to gain the election.

luded to. We have trusted entirely
to exposing sophistries in doctrine
and laying glaring evidence of mis
rule before the honest voters. JLre
we part let us trive three cheers for
our victorious standard-bearer (Jen
kins). Hurrah - for our (Jenkins)
side." ' v-: -.;?.-'; -:
