Treasurer. '.
( At the regular meeting Of the Board
Of Education last evening, the first bust.
ness done was the swearing In Of John
Brooks, member-elect from the Ninth
Ward.
DEMOCRATIC yLARE-UP.
President Conrad announced the
standing and visiting committees Of
the Board for the ensuing year.
In the standing committees DR.. Grim
shaw was named as Chairman Of the
Insurance Committee, Mr.. Lally Of the
Committee on Normal School and Mr..
Heisler on the Committee on Accounts.
DR.. Grimshaw and Mr.. .Lally declined
from no apparent cause, and Mr.. Heisler
declined because the duties Of the
Chairman on Accounts were too ardu-
GUS. ,.r
As soon as the Beard by vote decided
to excuse the gentlemen from serving
on the committees Mr.. Lally arose and
exclaimed, hotly: "Mr. President--on
part OF majority Of this Board-of my
side in this body most emphatisal-
llylobject to the partisan, unfair and
partial manner in which you have ap-
pointed the standing committees"
With the exception Of Mr.. Lally,
himself, all the members were greatly
surprised at this unwarranted speech.
The committees had been impartially
chosen and the Democratic members
were very fairly distributed. A. gem
sral impression existed that Mr.. Lally
said what he did, because he was not
made chairman Of q more important
committee.
Mr.. Lobdell was on his feet In an in
slant. ~ will call on the gentleman
for an sxplanatisn," said he, "what
does he mean 7"
"That is for me to know" replied
Mr.. Lally snappishly, ~ said l pro-
tested on behalf of majority"
"And now," put in Mr.. Lobdell,
"what majority do you meani"
Mr.. Lally (hotly)-"None Of your
business"
The Chair (rapping)-The gentleman
is ont of order.
"Oh yes, SIR" said Mr.. Lobdsll as
soon as he could be heard, for at this
point there was much confusion, "Oh,
yes, sir, 1t Is my business. ask you
plainly as member Of this Board,
what right you have to speak in such q
manner.
Mr.. Lally-Why THAT isl told
you-I mean to-say-or rather
The gentleman at this point dropped
into his seat at loss what to say and
utterly bewildered because the Demo-
cratic members did not rally to his sup
port.
WHAT His MAJORITY WAS.
DR.. Grimshaw ehimed in now. "Tell
me- what you mean," said he, "do you
mean that you thus protest on part Of a
majority OF those elected to the Board
by Democratic votes"
eyes do" responded Mr.. Lally.
"Then I'm with you in your pre-
test"
Seeing that all this on part Of his
Democratic colleagues, was found to re-
suit in an improbable row, If not pru-
IDENTIFY checked, Mr.. Hazlett put his
foot on further talk Of the kind by
raising a point of order. This was de-
cided by we'll taken and the two profess
tants subsidized.
The chair then appointed DR.. Grim
shaw chairman Of the Printing Commit
tee and Mr.. Lally chairman Of the Com
mittee on Accounts.
The committee on Accounts is one Of
the most important in the Board. On
the other hand, while 1t has this to
recommend 1t over the Normal Sohool
Committee, great deal Of work de-
wolves upon the chairman. Therefore,
MIR. Lally, after having raised all this
howl, declined again, and was again
excused. DR.. Grimshaw likewise de-
clined his Craftsmanship.
