Colonel Butter6eld urged the adop-
ton of the petition in a few appropri-
+ ate and timely remarks. gsb
II Jones said as the laws of the State
guaranteed free ELECTION, he consid-
cred this petition an insult, and there
fore moved that the petition be laid
on the table.
Colonel Butterfeld, by permission,
disclalmed any intent on the part
of the men he represented to offer an
insult to the Council, and declared
his inability to see any cause of insult
in the petition. rR G9HBs1 I03
Mr.. Reitz thought that if the Dem
ocratic Central Committee had been
consulted. and had Joined In the pc
tition, it would have been passed
without hesitation.
Col. Butterfeld again. by permits
sion, urged that it should not be con-
sidered in a political light If the
petition was right, it should be
granted.
Jones said the Republicans had in
dicted some Democrats for illegal
voting and false swearing, and now
they come up here to dictate, and rule,
and intimidate the Council, and the
Democratic party and he was in favor
of standing up like men and do as
they pleased, and he opposed the petit
ton.
6 Mr.. Reitz thought the question had
been presented too late. Il. should
have come sooner. After further re-
marks, the vote was taken to lay. it
on the table, and carried as follows:
81 Ayes-Blemker, Jones, Stockheth,
Schriber, Reitz. Noes-Steele., Abb
sent-Ko ollie, Rocker, and Mesker.
J. Newman's bill for services in
setting with the Board of Equaliza-
ton, was referred to the Committee
on Finance, Blemker aud Steele. s.
Mr.. A. NJ. McGriff, City Clerk,
asked that all fines assessed against
parties for keeping dogs without Ii
cense, be RENTED, in view of the
fact that no notice had been given,
which was agreed to.
Recorder Willard hoped that the
Council would fix some status for the
dog law, so that the police would
know how to act. aaar -oa .aa
After some discussion, it was
agreed that the law be enforced
after the expiration of another week.
A petition was presented from
Jonas Smith ct al, asking that the
