city are greatly excited by the fear that Gov. ke-
logg will sign the bill passed by the

ter for the city and giving the appointment
to HIM of all city officers from Mayor down. Under
decision Of the Supreme Court OF this State the
Governor can hold bill passed at one session OF
the Legislature until its next annual meeting with
ont either vetoing or approving it. For nearly
eight months it is charged, the Governor mas heid
this bill over the heads Of the people and NUM-
cipal government. Tho biennial election for
Mayor and Administrators takes place on the I'd OF
November next and candidates have just
been nominated by the Conservatives for
these positions. They claim that the city
ia Conservative by . large majority and
that their ticket will be elected unless the Gov
ernor interferes Under the decision above referred
