chooses to take the responsibility Of
Mr.. Hoaglaud holding over he can do

Mr.. McGlinchey said that as reso-
luton had been adopted to hold the
election this evening no motion was
necessary and he nominated Charles
Dorman.
The chair did not sustain the point
raised by Mr.. McGiinchey.
Mr.. Paynter offered an ordinance
but Mr.. Moore objected to its reception.
Col. Taylor hoped that no gentleman
would object to the ordinance being
read as it was an important one;
"don't, " he said, "be like two men, "
meaning Messrs. Paynter and Hart.
Col. Moore withdrew his objection,
the ordinance was presented and
passed two readings. The ordinance
provides that in replacing the water
wheel, ETC., at the City Mill, the Water
Committee shall be exempt from the
operations of the ordinance which re.
quires that all work costing over $50
shall be done by contract. Mr.. Payn.
ter presented another ordinance which
was also read twice directing the FL
nance Committee to issue certificates Of
Indebtedness to the amount Of $4,000.
Col. Taylor moved that Council go
into nomination and election to fill
the vacancy in the Ninth Ward.
Mr.. Paynter moved to amend to post
pone for one week. All the motions
were lost by tie vote.
Col. Norton said the people had been
thinking for some time that there was
something wrong in the Fourth Ward,
and it had been asserted that the Ward
is not represented by Democrats. He
had not word to say against the
gentlemen on the other side. You he
said "are faithful to your party"
! Mr.. Paynter said that Col. Norton's
words had no effect on him in the
least.
Mr.. Norton said he wanted the peo-
pile to know what kind Of men you
ara.
Mr.. Paynter said something in rela-
tion to blackguard proceedings in Coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Taylor asked that the Clerk be
instructed to take note of his remarks
Col. Norton said Mr.. Paynter's
Democracy was not only questioned but
that it was known fact that he was
not Democrat.
Mr.. Paynter said that he was neither
an aspirant for the Levy Court, Street
Commissioner, Clerk of the Peace,
Librarian or any other Office. He said
he was not attached to any particular
ring. He said he was Democrat AZ
he always had been among the masses.
Mr.. Taylor said he supposed the gen
tleman alluded to him as being can
didate for Librarian. The speaker
said he never was a candidate for that
position.
Mr.. McGlinchey asked that if the
two members still persist in the course
they have commenced tonight are
they Democrats When they form
combinations with the opposition they
are traitors, exclaimed the speaker,
you dare not go ont the Republican side,
(Mr. Wood, "they could not get on
better slde"-''cri-s of that's so."D
Why says the speaker don't they re
sign their positions as Democrats.
AT 10 o'clock Col. Taylor moved that
a recess be taken until II. This was
done in order that the members of City
Council and the representatives of The
press might cool themselves off on ice
cream at the invitation of the newly re-
elected Registrar of the Water Depart
ment, Mr.. Morrow.
Council again assembled at II o'clock.
The motion to go into nomination
aud election to fill the 9th ward vacan.
cy, Mr.. Paynter moved to postpone for
one week.
Mr.. McGlinchey said that he wanted
to vote intelligently and he wanted in
formation. lie would therefore ask the
gentleman from the 4th ward to give his
reasons why 1t should be laid over
Perhaps it might change his vote and
perhaps it mightnot, though he thought
it would not.
Mr.. Paynter replied that he did not
think 1t was any Of the gentleman 8 |
business. He was of the opinion that
tho member from the Sd ward had 10
right to question motives as he did not
asked any of the members what their
motives were.
Col. Taylor did not agree with Mr..
PaynteT;he thought he should state his
reasons. Being elected Democrat he
was supposed to vote for Democratic
candidates.
Mr.. Paynter said it certainly was
very amusing to have boys in the Coun-
Gil to dictate to him about Democra-
cy. He said he was Democrat when
