Mz. Gund had promised in writing to obey, and
here ne was dlsobeying. He had expressed in
writing bis regret for his previous course, and
hore he was continuing tho same course.
Mr. Gund did not know he WIS doing wrong.
&c supposed it WAS all right.
The Mayor said it was not MI right, and re-
duested Mr. Gund to take tho other Wow OF the
question: after which he let him go.
Ar. dnnds pailor on emerging, from the
Commissioners Office, was perceptlble.
MAYOR 1rED11L AND JAKE REIN.
The Mayor and e1-Police Commissioner Rehm
had private" conference in the Comptrol1er's
private office about o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr. Medll Lad requested Mr. Rehm to call at his
Office, knowing he was on confidential terms
With 4. c. Hesing, and able to explain why the
latter had published in the Staais-zeitung tho
substance Of clandestine talk he had had with
His Honor last week.
Tho Mayor thought the publication WAS i'm
prudent and unca1led for; it was between two
Individuals. and the public should not have been
informed of it.
Mr. Rehm said uesing had always been q
friend Of the Mayor, and was now, and would
not have published the conversation had he not
sentations of the Chicago Times. That paper
had given it's local columns what purpofted to be
the actual expressions Of opinion instead OF do,
ing that the report was wholly inaccurate and
full OF Misrepresentation The community,
doubtless, thought it was al1 right, and, to cor
rect that impression and givo the people an idea
of tho truth, be had reproduced tho conversation
in the Stats Zciiung. Mr. Rehm added that Hes
ing had always advised with the Mayor whenever
he doomed it necessary, and that he (HeBing) be-
loved TINT His Honor had Al driftedintothe pres
difficulty Oh account OF bad legal advice. Tho
citizens we're with tho Mayor; go wero al tho
English newspapers; but he Rehm) thought
within three months there would be great
change in public sentiment. From what he has
heard in conversation, and boon informed, he
did not believe that any German would accept
the Office OF Police Commissioner under the cir
cumstances he wan confident John Horting
would not.
Nothing more Of Importance Was said, and
Mr. Rehm loft the Office, the Mayor returning to
his own chair, now vacated by the Aldermen.
HIS uoSoa's INTENTIONS.
The reporters now proceeded in q body to oh
tain from Mr.. Medill what information lie had,
den Of telling. tho story. over again.
They inquired it he Was going to Spring
field. Ho said lie should not leave
the city until this matter had been wholly dis
abolition OF the Police Board, be would do moth
ing 1t was not his place to do it. He would
let tho Legislature uso its own Judgment, and
make use Of no influence to urge it.
The reporters inquired whether he would roin-
state the two Captains ? The Mayor declined TO
answer yet Their reinstatement, ho said, in
answer to an inquiry, would not need his nomi-
mating them to the Council. Their removal WAS
not matter OF record. He hnd not yet report
ed their removal to tho Council, and all that
would be necessary would bo the withdrawal Of
the notifications OF removal. Ex-Capsein Hickey
had not called upon him, as he was witness in
tho Rafferty, murder trial at Wausegan.
TIE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
OF the Council are to have mec!ing this after
noon, to consider the nominations Of the Mayor
They will learn with surprise TINT their report is
already given to tho public. L little reporto1lal
enterprise has enabled The TRIBUNE to show
them what they would probably have reported.
It will he useful to them. because they can study
tho points of the report at their breakfaattables
and have more leisure to see what they are
doing. Besides, as they will all be furnished
with it, they will spend less time in tho Com
mitteo-room, and have greater opportunities for
looking round and doing soma business. Fol-
lowing is their prospective report:
THE REPORT.
The undersigned members OF tho Judiciary CON-
mitee, to whom was referred the communication Of
Holden and John Herting as Commissioners Of the
Board Of Police in the place Of E. F: G. Hokke and
tev hpya e. sturey Considered The referepee and
Mayor to remove Commissioners Of the Board Of ro-
Of law and the legal advisers Of tho city having de-
cided the question, the Council should be guided by
the opinion Of the lay which t Is naa wS
pendent Of tho opinion Of the law department, it
appears to II the law-tho Mayors net '-confers
power, 1t certainly ccnitfs power upon tu0 An3oI
to remove and appoint the meuabe Of Al Boards or
gani.ed under the City charter except thoso who are
members are appointed by the Governor, as the va
rioua Park Boards, but the Board OF Police It Is well
known s organized and acting under the City Charter
and their salaries paid from the City Treasury There
doubt OF the power Of the Legislature to give the
Mayor this power mombera Of the Board whether
elected By the people CT appointed to Office. If the
language 1nythng It appears to US tile act does
confer this power tha Mayor. Nc respectfully rec
omncnd that the consent CT the Council be given to
the appointments.
