THEY COULDN'T DO IT.
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS GIVE
UP THE CoNTEsT,
A CAUCUS HELD WITH NO EFFECT.
Proceedings Of Council Last Night The
Contest DroPped--Many Petitions Acted
Upon Favorably, and Bills Passed.

There was good bit of caucusing among
the Republican members of City Council
last night just before the regular meeting
was called, and 1t was something like $50
O'Clock when President Conrad, followed by
nine other members filed out of the Mayors
room where the consultation had taken
place. Three Republican members were
absent, and although an effort was made 10
secure their attendance 1t failed leaving the
boasted majority powerless to do what the
Stalwarts wanted done with the Eleventh
ward case. They urged that II be taken up,
but such an effort could not succeed and
the case was not alluded to during the even
ing except when Mr.. Quinn threw the gaunt-
let squarely down by moving that a com
mittee of three be appointed to see that
Messrs. Denny and Newall got places on
the committees. Some members died hard
at thus having the crow forced down their
throat, but the motion was adopted, and
the chair will name the committee at the
next meeting. -l.s..5 xr.E8
