voted Tor Rays nominee Tho three Aldermen claim
that, they had pledged their word not to take any
hction In tho matter OF appointments until the

la political circles that another republican Alderman
would vote TO confrm any nominations Mayor
Howell might send IN at the regular session of
the Common Council. provided he would send in
