ans, the people dodging about to escape the blows from the cushions. Then there was increased confusion, the meeting being at a perfect stand still. The Temple was completely in the hands of the mob, which increased every moment. Mr. Edmund Quincy, the acting chairman, now came to the front of the platform, howling out as loudly as possible in such an uproar, "If the police have been instructed by the Mayor to stand up and do their duty, they will proceed to disperse this mob." en on the platform and in the body of the Temple, who were dissatisfied at the manner of the Mayor's announcement, ferociously shouted "No, no," and wanted the Mayor to produce the evidence of his authority from the trustees.
