Mr.. McCaffrey opposed the adoption of the
resolution. He said:
| 81 cannot agree with the Administrator of
Commerce as to my obligation to party. as moth
ing can release the Administrators from their
obligation to do justice, first to the people and then
to party. The position he assumes appears to
me one of craftsmanship rather than Of party ob-
| CATION. II the gentlemen will reflect, they will
see that in the adoption Of the resolution offered
they ignore the offer Of the Picdy,sne, which is
much the lowest, while the claims of that paper
as an advocate Of the people for many years be-
rore the DEMOCRAT was established, entities her
to some recognition at the hands Of this admins
tration, and do not think we can in justice or
| equity ignore her claim under all the circum-
stances"
Mr.. Cavanao stated in reply that at this time
last year, when the Nichols government and the
pretended Packard government were contending
for supremacy, it was question as to what ar
rangements the city government should make
for the city printing, the DEMOCRAT had proved
it's patriotism by offering to do the work, and if
ultimately the city were compelled to pay the
Republican it would relinquish its claim to re-
-muneration.
The resolution was adopted by the following
vote:
Yeas-Brown, Cavanac, Denis, Diamond,
Rengstorff-5.
Nay-MoCafrey-1.
The Mayor laid before the Council the follow
ing communication. which was read and ordered
spread upon the minutes:
