OF the Republicans are indebted to Mayor coivin

OF course there are great posslnlhtles. ,1;n ano
among those is the passage OF the order cal4la6

AID. apALD1Ea,
Of the Fourth Ward, one Of the stanch Kepno-
hcnn leaders, and Witha1 one OF the honorap!e
men IN the Council, was next approached. he
professed to be laying low, and did not want nis
name mentioned to any greater extent tnan
possible. Lawyer Mason, an acquaintance OF
his had already drafted an ordinance TO the
poiut, and he WAS trying to decide "netner
or not to take the responsibility OF INTRO
ducing it into the Council. He Was heartily IN
ayor Of the measure, and had eveEy hope OF lta
being carried through tho Council by Al over
whelming majority.

Of its need"
AID. RICHARDSON.
OF the First Ward, was next lntervleWed, and
at once said that his ofice-holding days were
over, and he was no longer an asplrant for Al
dcrmanic fayors.
.sAre ron in favor Of ordering an election for
Mayor" asked tie reporter
''Well. nm 3 Republican. You know the
rest. When the party needs mo will be there.
AID. Dixon and Warren Of the Second Ward
we're in too much of hurry to interview, and
rather evaded the tew Questions that they did
answer. However, both Of them usually come
to the scratch in remarkably fine order, and are
nearly always on the, aafe and right eide OF tho
fence. Without particle Of doubt they may
be added to the list
AID scIAFF .EE AND LESaACHER,
OF the Seventeen:h Ward, are both Republicans,
and their ward is now about as strongly ReDub-
llcau US any IN the city. Aid. Leugacher wished
time to consult the political leaders OF his ward
before expressing any sentiment Personally.
he was in favor OF such call, and had but little
doubt that his constituents were even more
strongly in favor Of it. inasmuch Is they had
arcady UNANIMOUSLY passed the resoution in
their ward club
AID. STOUT AND MAHn,
OF the Sixteenth Ward, are both neartlly in favor
Of the measure. In answer to tho luterVlewerB
first question the latter Replied in his emphatic
German manner, Sure, am in favor Of every
body going out Of office along with me, and the
former replied, II have not time to say much,
but you may put mo down With that long List
you already hayo Us heartily in favor Of the
AID. White and Gunderson. Of the Eleventh
Ward, will both support the measure. AID
White will not sacrifice the views of bis congtitu
euls for the sake OF holding over any man, even
though that man is Harvey D. Colrin. AID
Gundereon favors the measure, and now that the
bail has commenced rolling it must not stop
until tho move is completed, for, it the measure
fails and ColVin retains his Office it will create
IN eamity between him and the Council that
cannot fail to be = barrier to the welfare Of the
municipality.
AID Dickinson, Of the Nineteenth Ward, claims
to be hardly prepared for SO radical move, and
will not support it until he sees the aH fox it, or
some othor equally good reason.
Aid. Sommer, Of the Sixth Ward, is not pre-
pared for 1t either. In his case. however, he
will leave it to his constituents to decide, and a.
they are all autl-Colvin men, AID. Sommer may
at once begin to fall into the tracea.
AID. woopnAS,
OF the Tenth Ward, snys his ward his chock full
of it, and even If he wished to be On the other
sido Of the fence, his constituency would COM
pel him to support the measure However, he
il personally in favor Of it, and will lend ali his aid
towards accomplishing the end His colleague,
David w. Clark, is in almiiar state Of mind,
