Now, it ' may be that the country readers of the Xeirs and Courier may doubt us (those who attended the ' meeting will not) when we say that the "Citizens' 1 Mass Meeting," at Hibernian Hall last night, was ' the most stupendous " fizzle" that has yet occurred 1 in this city, and the reports given in the papers 1 ^foresaid as distant from the truth as the "buoy at the Nore" is from Winnipeg.

At about half past eight the room, which holds eight or nine hundred persons, was well filled, a large majority of those present being Republicans, colored and irhite, who attended to be amused. The number if those in the Hall, recognised as being actively connected with the " Citizens' Party " movement, pras estimated at sixty or eighty, not more. A few ' palpitating Reformers " occupied the platform. The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. BDlney, who moved that Mr. George H. Walter take ;he chair. Mr. George H.
