those who pretend to be iuformed
on the actions of the solons, that
this voluntary procedure by Mr.
Bowers, who is a Republican, waa
opposed the measure abolishing the
charter of Lexington. In this mat-
ter Mr. Johnsouius insisted upon
referring the matter to the people
of Lexington before killing the bill
as Mr. Lancaster persistently at-

speculation, but Mr. Bower's action
is liable to start the ball rolling
