of the people. This was not a contest
between him and Judge Good, but it was be-
tween the people and the council. The CUES.
tion was as to whether the people or the
council were right; whether that body had
legally, or even fairly, addressed him out OF
office. They had acted upon charges pre-.
terred against him by drunken city marshal,
which charges were never sustained. Alder
man Whcslock had told him during his ad.

Captain Swink that the reason tho council
had put the election oil rs long as they did
was because they wanted time for reaction to
set in against him. Burnett had taken the
stand against him for the paltry considera-

council to remove him from office. Judge
Bledsoe had never acted in the matter, and
Judge Aldredge had said that he had legal
