At the third caucus, Mr.. Mclntire re-
ceived seven votes and was nominated.
Then what was the positions "Pn never
support him." said one. Ditto, said
another. The next day it was proposed
to have a special meeting OF Conncil
called by the Mayor, for the purpose OF
electing q successor to Mr.. Mclnt're.
But the Democratic party said mo-" he
had objections, and Mr.. McIntire had to
take back seat.
Mr.. McIntire was willing to do any
thing that would rebound to the credit
q the Democratic party, and he agreed
to resign the nomination in Council If
he could have the privilege OF naming a
worthy Democrat and competent man
as his successor. Peter U. Furry was
fixed upon as an intelligent, liberal gen.
tleman, capable for the position in every
respect. He was consulted. and after
being assured that six Democrats had
pledged to support him. consented to
the use of his name. With these six
pledges we thought we had majority
and were all right. Then the wire pull
| ing began. The Democratic party caus-
ed the ad-lock. and the others went
back on their words as men and politi-
| clans.
Then l considered myself in duty
bound to stand BY my plighted word.
and did 80 until Mr.. Furry's name was
| withdrawn at his repeated request.
Then do what I am wing to do any
time vote for good Democrat. Here
the speaker referred to the recent pro-
position to settle the difficulty by arbi-
trament) l made another proposition:
| That the names Of Farra and Furry be
| placed in a hat, and one drawn there
from by q blind-fslded boy; that would
agree in writing to support the lucky
man il the others would do likewise.
His Honor, the Mayor, informed the
| Democratic party OF this proposition,
and was promised an answer Monday.
| But he did not answer. This morning
two reporters called ON me, and I then
the interests Of the party and the credit
of the city was willing that this farce
should end; and now show that am q
man of my word.
In response Mr. Hayes spoke in SUBJ
star ce as follows:
| Mr.. PRESIDENT: There were some
remarks made by the gentleman from
the Ninth Ward, (Mr. Farrell) that the
people should understand, and arise
for the purpose. OF what say the
proof is around me.
One would suppose that when q par
tizan, of either party, arises to lecture
his party, and to reveal all the ins and
outs, his hands should be clean, but
how Is its He lays great stress on
being O genuine Democrat. How was
it in the late election, when he was
riding around the Ninth Ward. doing
his utmost against a Democratic can

the Fourth Ward, worked against my

In regard to the charge of the dis

showing that there were then 14t

on the new reservoir. This is the nu
shell of his whole speech, in relation
to truth and untruth.
