Miller.
j. I. Felter, President of the outgoing
Board, called the meeting to order and read
list OF the names of the newly elected mem
bers.
According to tbs prevailing custom, Frank
Miller, who was elected Committeeman at
Large, was assigned to the position OF Chair
man of the committee.
On motion OF Mr. Smith, a. y. Isnoads
was elected Secretary.
George o. Batss and K, F. Wiemeyer were
placed in nomination for Treasurer. Upon
| call Of the roll Mr.. Bates was elected
At this point of the proceedings the Chair
man stated that be had large envelope ad-
dressed to the committee, and asked what
! disposition should be made Of 1t.
On motion of Mr.. Mcneil, 1t was ordered
that the same be opened and the contents
read. WI
The communication proved to be from w.
r Jones. one of the candidates for the NOM
nation of Trustee at the primary on Satur-
day last. He at great length explained that
the vote in the First Ward was not on the
square, or according to law that. on the
contrary. it was fraudulent and illegal. be
claimed that the returns from the First w ard
should be- thrown out and not counted: he
asked the committee to resciad the action OF
the former committee, so far es the declaring
of +. E, Ames, the nominee of the Republic
| can party for Trustee was concerned, and to
name himself for that position. be claimed
| that he had received the msjority of the Re-
publican votes cast at the primary, and was
| Justly entitled to the nomination. Ii the
! Board did not see fit to replace the name OF
Ames with that of Jones, then he asked that
| neither of those names be considered, and
that some other person be named Tor the po-
sition.
The general sense Of the COMMITTEES was
! that the old committee having declared
Ames the nominee the new Board could
not 20 back of their action.
On motion of Mr. Mcneil, the commune
cation was ordered to be laid upon the table.
| Quite a conversation ensued, and several Of
the committee stated that they understood
that perhaps 100 of the votes of the First
Ward were cast by voters residing in the
Third They we're legally entitled to vote in
the Third. but were not allowed to do So
owing to the fact that their names did not
appear on the old County Register of 1880.
Ga motion of Mr.. Smith, committee of
two was appointed 10 see to the procurement
of registers for use on election cay. Messrs.
Smith and Mcneil were appointed such
committee.
On motion. the Secretary was ordered to
have the ticket printed in the city papers.
Mr.. Bates moved that the meeting adjourn
to meet Thursday evening, March oh, at 7:30
o'clock, in the club rooms at the U nion Hotel,
when the different candidates are requested
to meet with them. Carried.
Recurring to the communication of Mr..
Jones, it becomes apparent that that gentle
man and his friends are satisfied with the re-
suits of the primary as relates to every other
successful candidate except the success
full aspirant for Third Trustee Mr. Jones
petition to the Central Committee con.
dones ali irregularities relating to the results
of Saturdays primary. The petition practi-
cally accepts as regular and fair the late
primary election, except as to the nomination
for which he himself was a candidate. Ia
short, it was a perfectly fair election, accord
ing to MIR. Jones logic, If it had resulted in
placing him in nomination. He informs the
committee in his communication that placing
himself at the head of the ticket will heal all
wounds, make regular all Irregularities, and
convert all Unfairness into the most honors-
bic political methods. Even beyond this Mr..
Jones idea is that there would be no
fraud to complain of if Mr.. Ames' name
was removed from the head of the ticket.
| The committee evidently accepted MIR. Jones
| logic, but concluded that if the election was
fair enough to settle the contest between Mr..
Karcher and Mr.. Woods. it should with
equal propriety determine like contest
between Mr.. joiner, the petitioner. and Mr..
| Ames, bis successful competitor. All cleo
| ton frauds are outrages upon the elective
| franchise but the vicious political ETHICS
which coolly proposes to let all results Of
alleged fraud stand, except 50 far as it may
affect the candidacy OF sip5le petitioner, is
scarcely worthy of respectful consideration.

taiument and ball for the Congregation B'nai
