Failed TO Agree.
The Democratic members of the City
Council were in caucus again on Satur-
day evening, but failed to agree on a
candidate for accountant III the Treasu-
rer's office. Mr. Guthrie, Chairman OF
he Finance Committee, it is said, is in
favor OF the retention of John Nj. Tay-
ior the present incumbent, who has So
well and faithfully performed the du-
lies OF the office during the last three
years. 1t is also said that there are
others in favor of retaining Mr.. Taylor.
City Treasurer Vincent has written a
letter to each Of the Democratic mem

as he (AlI. VincenO was responsible,
Under hls bond, for the accountant,

II. The Democrats named for the office
re Messrs. Cornelius Stinson and
"dward McIntire.
Mr.. Vincent thinks that as he is re-
tonsible under his bond for the ac-
,ons Of his accountant, that Council |
has no right to make change against
his will. In this view of the case,
acre can be no doubt the Treasurer is .

when his time came to die, he hoped it
would be III the month Of June, as h.
'Ould not bear the idea Of being buried
