Georgetown Correspondence.
GEORGETowY, jan.

UEORGETOWN, Jun. 10, 1901.
In the Councils the other night the following
debate took place:
Mr.. Stake moved to suspend the rules for the
purpose Of inviting the Board of Aldermen to
meet in joint convention, to witness the quail
fcation of r. h. Crawford, Esq, as Mayor.
He made quite lengthy Speech eulogizing
Mr.. Crawford, and stating the qualification it
afforded him to see the Mayor in the Council
Chamber under different circumstances from
which he appeared there two years ago.
Mr.. Tenney thought there was no necessity
for the Mayor to take the oath of office, as he
was Mayor, if at all, by the election Of 1857,
and holding over. The court did not decide
that Mr.. Crawford was elected in 1857, but
simply that he, Mr.. Addison, did not receive
majority of the votes. He considered it imma
terial whether Mr.. Crawford took the oath of of:
fee or not he was willing to recognise him as
Mayor without it, He said we had our town
dismembered by a Democratic Congress- and
we had now Mayor given us by the Circuit
Court, in opposition to the will of the people,
and in opposition to the election by the Corpo
ration, who had the power to elect when there
was tie vote, as a Democratic jury had dcci
ded.
But there was some slight consolation the
days of the Democracy were numbered and a
party was coming into power, though he was
not member of it, who would have the power,
and would, he believed, reorganize the Circuit
Court of the County of Washington.
