MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.

Weeh alter week sAce the late election The small
~ politicians AMI others who 0onGregate IN and
around the Court House anu City Hall seem 70 have
hsen much In the predicaMent OF people climbing
hNesp NIL. They commence vigorously on Monday
morning 10 crewd the Railways ana corridors; theg
sslR loudly about tns that and the other matter in
tinaately connected with political movements ana
MaAipulations around the city, anu they keep mp
the fever of excitement day after day until near
the end OF the week, then they strike sand spot
and immediately slide back over the ground they
had previously travelled ana may md themselves
week after week Just a. the point from which they
started, unless some friendly sprig may reach ont
10 that they can grab at and hold on to II TIL tho
next week. Thus 1t goes, and by Friday, az the fur
thes the stock OF conversation topics dies our ana
the crowds do not appear In such numbers during
the last two or three days or the week as In the
former part During tile past few days, however,
there has been quite enough for tn "boys'' to think
and talk about. H0ffnan's detection, Twecd's and
Hairs expnsions from one club or association Of
another the excitement
AT THE coNprR0iLER's OFFICE,
and few other matters OF Ike import, have given
food Tor conversation ana have been duly discussed
ana explanations and conclusions satisfactory at
least 10 the exponnders, have been arrived az.
Yesterday new topic for controversy and specula-
tiOn was given In the action OF Mr. Earle, Acting
County Auditor. 10 appears that Mr.. Earle sent 10
the various clerKs and others In the county bureau
notices to the eject that their
REslGEATiONS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE
No cause was assigned tor such sweeping action,
and, o. the employees in that portion Of the Depart
ment of Finance felt satisfied that they had earned
their money they felt highly indignant at this step
OF the vinegar faced republican, who had employed
his time solely in watching them, and they deter
how
would not resign and up TO the last accounts they
had not resigned, and were by no means resigned
70 the fate which the Earle Of the Green dominion
evidently had In store for them. Underwood O'C0n-
nell, "Mike, M0loney, Carroll, Connolly and the
Others, with the exception OF Larry Morrlssey wh0
has been attending the sessions Of the Grand Jury
on the voucher ana other questions, have received
fetmined TO hoist their banners, with the motto
'.NO surrender"
10 hear the remarks passed by the crowds which as
seMbed during the day at the Comproller's ONCE,
bowling for tneir pay and threatening all sorts Of
any blood in him OF alf" Queried one. 'Indeed ne
Mas NOT" said another and then came . poor
sake to be allowed something she mad earned her
money as scrub woman, ana had not received
deathiy STICK with fever and ague ana she lad
"house lul' OF small children crying for bread.
