On Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
about 300 persons assembled iu the

will respond to the Jeffersonian test,

man of that class will, in a short time,
bring up the credit of our city to the
highest point, and will redeem the good

to possess. There is no intention to

Gentlemen—Accepting the honor of
presiding over this honorable meeting
I feel obliged to thank you for the
honor and trust so bestowed on me.
The purpose for which this meeting has
been called has just been explained to
you, and, as I am glad to notice, has
not failed to receive your serious con-
sideration. The great number of Ger-
man citizens who have assembled here
is sufficient proof to me that all of you
are convinced of this; that every man
of the whole population who feels any
interest in the future welfare of our
city, must in the coming election do his
full duty by voting for the right man
for the right place.
This, however, can only be done
W1 ^ success, when we unite on one
candidate, whom we deem the right
man. Unity is power. This old Tier-
man proverb is known to all of you,
is due to several
damaging acts and principles in con
ducting the finances of the city. The
first damage was done to our credit by
the repudiation of the sidewalk bonds.
The city government, in repudiating
these bonds, claimed them to be ille-
gally issued, but most of these bonds
are owned abroad—in New York and
Europe—and you can not explain to
these people that these bonds, that were
issued by our regular and lawful ad-
ministration, were issued without pny
authority. The people that paid their
money for these bonds in good faith
hold you, the city of Galveston, respon-
sible for the acts of your agents the
officers who issued these illegal
bonds; and so, when yon come to
the money centers of the world,
and offer the paper of your city, you
meet with the general belief of your
city being a repudiator. Other misman-
agement has also a good deal to do with
causing people to have no faith in the
administration of our affairs. Our
and I ask you not to forget its meaning I streets are in a fearful condition and

discoursed music between acts and
served to make the time pass agreeably.
The house of No. 4 is but lately com-
pleted, and the hall where the meeting
assembled is well fashioned with desks
and tasteful cornice mouldings. Among
the decorations of the hall were the
flags of the Firemen's Relief Associa-
tion and of the Union, arranged with
good effect. On the north end of the
hall is secured a representation of a
mausoleum dedicated to deceased mem-
bers. This token is the gift of the

maria. But one name is inscribed on
this beautiful tablet of remembrance
that of Dr. G. W. Peete, with the

blage as follows:

We have assembled here to-night for the
double purpose ef discussing the relative po-
sitions of the Fire Departmeit and the citi-
zens of this community, and also So do honor
to our Chief, who. like a sentry on post,
watches with untiring vigilance and devotion

That officer replied, saying that from one

best companies, and always to be relied on.
Mr. Lauve gave thanks for his company.

Major F. M. Spancer replied in a 44 few re-

ever stand in the salubrious glow of happi-
ness. He pictured the fireman's earnestness
of purpose and their exacting duties. They

Mr. Gormly of that city responded, saying
he was glad to say there was at last a glimmer

Mr. H. J. Labatt was called on and said he
wanted to say one thing: there were twelve
aldermen to be elected in March, and he
hoped no fireman would vote for any man for
alderman who is not a friend of the Fire De-
partment. He did not want to see men go in
who would let engines lie idle for want of

trated. The purpose of the organiza-
tion would be to secure the selection of
men at the coming election that would,
by their influence and ability, restore
confidence and the government, and
thereby improve the condition of everv
citizen of the city.

called to the chair temporarily, and Mr.
Prandy made secretary.
After interchange of sentiment in re-

meeting adjourned, to meet at the same

Mr. Baehr said: " The time for the

in order to fill the different offices with
such men as we know to be honest,
economical and trustworthy. The

ciliated and special issues given up of
an op-
pressive misgovernment by unscrupu-
lous politicians, elected a man like
Governor Tilden, equal to the
task to inaugurate an honest
government; but like many of his sup-
porters, let us say, "away with poli-
tics," politics have nothing to do with
a municipal administration; "down
with conventions" that, in such elec-
tions as the coming one, are desiined
only for the aggrandizement of politi-
cians, who make politics their business
for dividing the spoils among them-
selves, without any regard for the pub-
lic good. A Democratic convention .'
What has Democracy to do with this
election? We want men that are hon-
est, able, and well known to the com-
munity and not a Democrat, because he
is a Democrat. I am a Democrat
myself and belonged to that party
ever since I began to vote, but
whenever they don't select the best
men for Mayor or Aldermen, I shall
not vote for them, but according to the
dictation of H. Seeligson. (Great ap-
plause.) You have called this meeting
together to secure a united action of
which two good examples burrecentlv I population of our city to
were given in the consolidation of the I ^en f?r c.^-v officers,

dences of three citizens for the M D

While local matters ought not to
have anything to do with poli-
tics, we all know that they are
taien up nevertheless by politi-
cal parties. We further know that the
Democratic party is well organized, and
for this reason influential and power-
ful in conducting an election. Mostly
till those who have lived here a long time
well known to us, belong to that party'
and if such men of character and in-
tegrity are proposed there is no reason
why we should not accept them, not-
withstanding they were offered 'by a
political organization. Such men who
offer their services to the dear people
most seriously and urgently ought to
be dealt with carefully, since the prin-
ciple is well established that the office
ought to seek the man and not
the man the office. Men whom
we know of being capable of good in-
tention to serve faithfully to the best
interests of our city, we should endea-
vor to nominate for our officers. For
such need not be by any party or
clique, nor need they be interviewed
by members of the press in order to
have read in newspapers what they
think of matters in general. While it
is not our desire to dictate, we feel
ourselves strong enough to be a factor
without regard of nationality or poli
tics and I am glad to join you in this
laudable effort. There has not been
any one occasion in the history of our
city when the German element, united . . . .. lv „ lo aa.

The shade of night has now dropped its
veil and shrouded into darkness the events of
the dav. The busy turmoil of life has ceased
its noise upon the streets, and all is calm and
repose; but for the fireman, duty still kcet>s
him half awake.
The tired laborer has but just entered the
niod»Ht parlor of his cottage home, and win
ing the honest dew from his dampened brow
sits himself down by the side of his cheerfui

friends, what an appalling sight strikes our
?h-tLn r th?,s5neks of frightened women,
i excited men, and the shrill blast
of the fire engines, methinks I hear the crack-
ling flames, as they leap with unbridled furv
from basement to roof of the home which
their unsalable greediness is about to con-
sume. Dense clouds of smoke herald their
approach, and, at last forcing their way
through doors, windows and roof, illuminate
the city with their sinister glare for miles
around. But the gallant fire boys, undaunted
and unappalled, stand their ground manfullv

left behind him. And now, wearied, wet and
bruised, the brave fireman returns to his
homejvhere sleep will soon restore his wasted
strength; but scarcely has his head touched
the coveted pillow, and gentle slumber closed
his eyelids, when the cry of fire is again
heard to ring through the town, and he must
up again ana hasten where duty calls
Such is the every day life of a fireman, my
friends, and when we consider that he en-
counters all these dangers, exposes his health
and makes the unselfish sacrifice of all his
comforts, for no compensation and no reward
save that vouchsafed to him by the sweet
voice of satisfied conscience, what tribute
of admiration does he not deserve at the
hands of his fellow-eitizens ?

The following citizens of Galveston

"Poulet and Poulette;" Saturdav'
'.Tnal by Jury" again, and "Gene-
vieve De Brabant."
The company come heralded by very
favorable notices of the press. Trial
by Jury having a singular title, few
persons look upon it as a musical piece.
It is pronounced, however, one of the
most musical cantatas ever presented to
the public.
It is both comical and dramatic and
the joint production of Messrs. Gilbert
and Sullivan. It treats of a breach of
promise of marriage. The defendant,
Mr. Knight Aston, at the last moment
refuses to wed the plaintiff, Mr. Clara
vesey, and th^y with the bridesmaids
etc., come into court dressed in bridal
array. The piece lasts forty-live min-
utes, and is all in song.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 11th
inst., has the following to say of the
bill to-night:
Soldene and her excellent troupe again
packed^ the Grand Opera House last night
with a delighted audience. It has been many
a day since so much merriment and applause
pervaded that popular place of amusement.
