Bonham, September 28.—
There was a meeting of the citi
zens of this city eddied last
night to take into consideration
whether or not the corporation
was not too expensive a luxury
for a city of eighteen hundred
population." Upon assembling
— olie hundred and thirty two
in number—it “cropped out”
that certain parties wanted the
corporation abolished to defeat
(if such action would) the issu-
ance of twenty-six thousand dol-
lars in bonds voted to the Tex-
as and Pacific railroad. “Only
this and nothing more.” After
several speeches the vote was
taken, and only one vote was
cast lor the resolution asking
t ie Mayor and board of alder-
men to resign and rescind their
order for an election next month.
It is the general opinion here
that the issuance of the bonds
