Mr.. johnson, of Clay Ward, asked whe-
ther Mr.. King was the independent candi-
date for alderman from Clay Ward. Being
answered in the affirmative, Mr.. johnson
proceeded TO urge the importance of preserv-
ing the Conservative organization intact.
| He hoped it would be the pleasure of the
Council, when they knew the circumstances
Of the cise, not to eject Mr.. King.
He knew the sentiment in that ward,
and all independent candidates should
look to the independents for reward; GER
tliEly not to the Conservatives. He made
strong appeal to the Council to put veto
upon any action which might tend TO couu-
tenance independents.
Mr.. Manly said he thought that lie would
have been ju>titiable in calling Mr.. Johnson
to order for his remarks. He had served in
the Council for several years and had never
before known the Council chamber to be
made the theatre for political haraugue,
and if it is 10 he continued he felt sorry for
the interests OF the city.
He had been told by the chief engineer of
the fire department to-day that Mr.. Hing
was his right hand nan. He thought IL
would be Il matter of policy not to leave him
out Surely every man has Il right to vote
rs lie feels disposed and to run for al Office
il he lcelS inclined.
hir. johnson nominated Mr.. Sublett in
place Of Mr.. King.
MIR. Todd said that he thought that Mr..
King had the right to vote for whom he fell
disposed. lie thought that public opinion
in Clay Ward would not countelance any
such idea is Mr.. johnson was urging. He
thought that il Mr.. King was left out. the
next time we would lose Clay Ward by Il
very large minority. MIR. Todd said that he
felt sure that it would injure the party, and
he didn't know but what he would take part
in the fight himself.
Mr.. Manly said that he fell it to be his duty
as Il gentleman and us member of the City
Council TO say that such remarks as had been
made use Of by the gentleman from Clay
Ward bud not heretofore been made in his
bearing and he hoped they would be the last.
