Mr. Rlchardson,' from the Republican side Of
the house, contrary @ general custOm, aud dIsrel
gaTding the courtesy usually extended to minori-

Springer.
Mr.. McIntIre Obiestea. He stated that Mr..
Pickels had assured bin that the Democrats
would be allowed to elect an Assistant Inspector
for the Eighth Ward, and that Mr.. Chaytor was
the man the Democrats Of the Ward desired for
the position. He declared that it was neither
courteous nor right, for the other side to thus
choose \ Democratic Inspector.
Mr.. Richardson insisted that Mr.. Springer was
as good Democrat as MF. Chaytor, and stated
that the "RepObiean Inspector and Assistant
didn't want Mr. Chaytor with them, because they
thought he was qQRrrelsOme." Just so. OF course
the discouTtesy was maintained by the Republi-
cans, and Me- Springer, elected. We may also
add, the reason for this choice by the Republi-
cans, that Mr.. Springer though y sterling Demo-
crat IL very near slGhted, and almost as blind as
bat 80 look out this afternoon, for Hepubli-
can frauds in the Eighth Ward.
