'The ticket n ruinated by the Good Government club on the previ ous evening was generally discussed and was the subject of considerable comment of both a pleasant and an unpleasant nature. Many people thought it was a winner, while others took the position that another good ticket in the tlcld could easily defeat it. However, the most interesting piece of political development is taut there will certainly he opposition to tne Good Government ticket, and it is uu derstcrid that the opponents of litis organization will hold a meeting next Tuesday night and either ratify the present ticket or name one in opposi t.nii thereto. Humor aas it that tne proposed meeting will be in the nature of a mass gathering of the people, irrespective of past or present political affiliation. The colored brother, it. is understood, will be invited to attend and the citi zens of Brunswick, It seems, for once will get together without the slight est tinge of local political complex ion. The News has it that a call will be issued in a few days to citizens gen erally, in which the aims, objects and purposes of the coming meeting will be fully stated. In this connection toe names of a number of prominent business men have been mentioned for places on the ticket, and from all indications it seems safe to predict that December 12 will witness a strong municipal contest.
