Ne,c Police Force Confirmed.
The regular meeting of the city council wa
held last night with all the aldermen present
Aid. WMtt moved TO enter into an election O
president.
Aid. Haugan moved 10 amend so that til
councilproce with the regular business
| Upon the roll call the vote was 8 and 0, an,
both the amendment and motion were lost.
Aid. Watt moved to adjourn.
Aid. Pillsbury wished to explain and wa
given the privilege. He wished to state tina
much business of Importance to the cit,
should be brought up at the present meeting
and moved that the veto OF the mayor up
on the granite street pavement resolution, thu
matter OF vacating certain property in tht
| southern portion of the city and also the
matter Of the police appointments made by
Mayor Ames be taken up and acted upon. HI
closed his remarks by stating that the Demo.
Gratis would be responsible for the deadlock
and delay OF business, and accused Alderman
Barge with being Republican and voting
| with the Democrats.
Alderman Watt wished 10 explain that in
the opinion of the eight Democrats the pres
ent council had no organization and could NOT
proceed with business until officers were
elected.
Alderman Glenn denied the allegation OF
Alderman Pillsbury that the Demo.
Gratis were blocking business. He had
tried to complete all unfinished business at
the special meeting held for the purpose on
Ttrac h1fr tod bot h
cans.
Aid. Grethen next took the floor, and ex-
planned that neither himself nor Aid. Barge
had attended either caucus, and would not be
governed by any party or clique. The Re-
publican papers had renounced all claim to
the municipal election being that of pollti-
cal one. He denied the allegation that he had
been elected by the Republicans. He had been
on an independent ticket, and it was Demo-
He continued: AID. Pillsbury is a
new conner, but Aid. Walsh was
an old citizen and capable and tried alder
man, and he considered the office of president
of the council should be given him. Judging
from what he positively knew of the sympa-
thies of the two aldermen in connection with
Mayor Ames, he believed that it was greatly
to the interest of the city that Aid. Walsh be
elected rather than Pllsbury. He knew it

Aid. Walsh had hoped it would not have be-
come necessary to make personal struggle.
He believed the Democrats were as honest in
their convictions as were the Republicans,
and had rights which could not
be ignored. He claimed most emphatically
that the council was not organized for the
legal tranaction of business until after the
election of officers.
Aid. Barge explained that he had always
o{nl x,y;f De-
Republican still, but was elected by I'll ma
jority without the support of the Republican
party. When Loring was nominated he ex-
pected to and would have supported him. The
Tribune then devoted half column 10 abusing,
him, asserting that he was endeavoring to
turn the city into hell hole. He then con-
cluded to support DR.. Ames for mayor and
acted in accordance to that resolution.
Alderman Watt moved that the council pro.
ceed to Ell; ct officers. Aldermen Barge, Haugan
and Nelson were appointed tellers and the
At the conclusion of the forty first ballot
without result five minute recess was taken.
Alderman Pillsbury moved that the election
of officers be postponed and the regular busi-
ness be taken up. Mayor Rand's veto of the
granite paving resolution was read. He based
the act upon the information that the prop
erty owners were in favor of cedar blocks
upon Washington avenue.
Aldermen Pillsbury and Walsh were in
favor of passing the resolution
over the head of the mayor.
They believed that the cry raised against
granite blocks was nothing more nor less
than an attempt on the part Of the newspapers
to run the city affairs. Aid. Pillsbury thought
many of the newspapers articles were insults
not only to the members of the council but
to the city engineer. the property owners
had not felt sufficient interest to petition the
council for cedar block pavement and he did
believe majority were opposed to granite.
Finally the ayes and noes were taken upon the
resolution vetoed by the mayor, resulting in
giving two-thirds vote and dpassing il over
the mayors head.
A petition from the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St Paul Railway company, asking that GER
tain lots and streets in South Minneapolis be
vacated, was referred to special committee
of five. A communication from the mayor
recommending the following police force was
read:

Upon motion of Aid. Watt the election of

and balloting was renewed, but without
result.
1t was voted that the contract for the pur-
chase of the J. B. Bassett property for the
pump house site be completed.
The council then went into commit
tee of the whole with Alderman Clark
in the chair.
