THE TnA1ToRoua ALDERMEN.
Thoro WAS aomo talk at the City Hall yostor-
day about tho Charge made by lilo Slaats-Zel-
fung, TINT 1000 had boon raised by the Lnw-
nnd-O Orlor party, and unod to purchase votes
for Dixon, the Aldermen who took tho money
belonging. to tho Peoples party. T.is WAS
considered absurd by everybody, az tl,ore was no
necessity Tor using money, enough votes boing
obtained voluntarily, on account of Mr.. HcBngH
assumption of authority to run tic Pcoploa
Aldermen. The Aldermen who arc now eaid to
havo yotod for Dixon arc Potter hlahr, n. u.
Bailey, Richardson, Lynch, aud so1lnitz. The
lattor. 1t Is alleged, hold up both hands mud
sworo lio would not vote for Dixon. THO leaders
of the Peoples purity aro trying hard to tind
who tie "traltors" are, but have not
yet succeeded in establishing their identity.
Several OF tho Law-auti-Oulor Aldermen aB-
sorted tlat tho interview with QUO OF their MIN
bor IN Wednesdays TnrHuxE, Wherein taclr
position Oh the matter Of presiding oicor Of the
Council WIS tetincd, misropreaeuto1 tllem. Tho
Law-and- -Ordor Aldermen, they maintained, lad
not agroea to voto for tho host man In the
pcoplo's party, but to caet their votoa for one
Of thoir own number. Thoy think Dixon has
tho powGr to clange tho committees; but do not
helieve 1t good policy to do 30, notwithstanding
tho abeRt Aldermen In thc Council wore ignored
by Mayor Colvin, and ignorant and incompetent
mon put in the most important pEaeeB.
