as stronuousy opposed to the extension Of tho
bill, Ho could understand why tho bill was
originally pissed. The circumstances wore pecu-
l[nr, tho records having boon DESTROYED. tho de-
aIy at odds aud ends. Then tho bill waa pasaod
partially on account Of tho high character Of
hIr. Medil in whom the pooplo, under tho pecs,-
liar conditions existing at tho time, wore ready
to conade; but aa no such conditions existed
now, as q nomber OF tho Lsgislattre ho would
oppose the re-onaosing Of tho bill. The author

Council. .-.....
THE HON. JOHN r. acANIoN
MAS rather no1l-connlittal. saying he mas in

THE HON. 1NawELL o1EsoN
is not in favor OF ra-euacting the bill. That w&a
all he had to say OIL the subject.
ALpEn3lANf0 TROUBLES.
Thoro Ia trouble in tho Aldermanio camp, and
It looks as If tho original twenty-five would not
hnng together in the Council. Throe or four OF
tho moro independent momborR are thinking OF
boIng formed in tic Interest of three or four sharp
fellows who will haye all tho honor, aud tho
profits, if any, while their tools will be kicked
aud cursed. md got nothing. Several Of tho
nowly elected groenhornB have been ropod into
bunlo don, md they hayo not tho courage to
leavo. Some OF tho oltlor hands, however, soeing
nothing III tho movement for themselves, arc de-
torminod to back out, and 1t ia doubtful II Com
nineteen whom tho day Of battla comes.
OF course le Gull retard loBiBln-
ton, aud do considerable mischief
by tli1atory motions md references, but ho will
not be able to boss things with tho aame ease rs
il there woro 4 majority Of tho Aldermen under
his thumb. At tho caucus called for yesterday
there was notable absence Of two or tllrao Al
dermen who wore expected, and two Of whom
wero seen ut previous meetings. The firm and
YIN. las struck torror into the Aearta Of tho In
tended obstructlonista and it is possible that the
Ring will full to pleccs before tho individuals
woldod togother.
LEu1BIATIoN AND HAY.
Chicago would neon to bo ].nrd up for porsonB
to hold Office, when "Ed" 4" Cullerton was elected
to tho Lcgis'a aturo while l,e was Alderman, aud
was afterwards ro-olected Alderman whilo he was
In the Legislature. Then Is Jim" Mcdrath was
elocted to the sennte while lie was member Of
the & s ana was Il sGs s sonae easf to ant s coa co
with two Offices. he trottod himself out
not not scared oil tho track until even m
his personal followers began to hint
zor Of Offices, sort Of universal oiIce-holder,
nultum in par.ro. Thon he made virtue Of i
necessity, aud ostensiblY hauled Off, though ho
is really q candidate still. It is 2 question how
| bly, can manage to perform tho duties Of both
positions aud perform them vol. They must
neglect ono or the other, or both, and in noithor
give satisfaction. And now comes "the gentle
man from Bridgeport" Alr. hleH Kohoe, Suite
Senator. rs candidate for City, Weigher. His
ambition is to preside over the hay-aoaloa, and,
| at tho Bame time, bo the laughing-Btook Of tho
Senate, By pcrpetrating atrociouB puma in tho
midst Of tito most SOLEMN debates. It Ia said
| tho hny-ecnlos have been promised to him, aud
| that he would prefer to weigh hay rather than
| makepunB in Springfield. Ho iRright, for he can
1t do better. However, II he can manage to hold
the two places st the same timo he will be con-
tent. H8 has il1uBtfiouB preccdonts in Cullerton
and McGrath. To bo sire LIE mny regard hay
from Senatorial standpoint and the Senate
| from hay standpoint but what Of that 30
long as he enjoys the honor OF The one ofico
and tho perquiHitcs Of the other. It will bo a
funny mixture Of legislation and hay.
| THE GENERAL scRAMpLE.
| There is some ta3k OF reyivinE tho Office OF
| x-Cotnmissioner for tho bonoae Of John
Comiskey whose friends are anxious ho should
got something. One or two persons- not moro
| thau two-are afraid no wouldn't taxa it. Would
| duck swim? ..
Tom IIaIpin will bo West Side AssesRor ut
least TINT iH the understanding with Charley
Donnahoy. Hnlpin's qualifications are said to
DO better than my man named so far, though ho,
too, Ia q member Of the Legislature.
Hickoy's friends aro not utterly without hops.
They say IT he Gun clear up the Lizzio MOORE
business to tho satisfaction Of Mr. Colvin, ho
will 10 nominated for tho suporintendcncy. but
if he can't lo won't. Rohm, in tho meantime,
is resting quietly in the expectation that he xil
get tho job.
Hamilton and Forrest arc etill after the City
Olerkship. Hamilton Is working liko stroet-ca1
horse with tho Aldermen, while Forrest ia
screnely relying on Mr. Colvin.
For tho Bnnller Offices tho scramble is growing
livelcr and moro interesting all the time
