THE COUNCIL DEADLOCK.

To the present writing the Council dead
lock has not been broken: The situation
now Is certainly complicated mess. Mr..
Back, who has no certificate, has been sworn
In; Mr.. Hamilton, who has . certificate,
cannot even get hearing. The Auditors
report shows Back had q majority of the
votes; the certificate Of the clerk of the
senior county of the Council district shows
Hamilton received majority Of the votes.
But the Hamiltonians allege that Back Is
credited with more votes from Dawson
county on the Auditors report than there
were votes polled In the county, and the
Back men retort that Hsmilton's certificate
was not made out by the officer required by
law to make 1t out, and Is not worth the
paper 1t Is written on, Hamilton's friends
allege that Backs are barring the organiza-
ton Of the Council by endeavor ring to seat q
member without credentials, and Backs
friends retort that the Hamlltonians are
trying to force In man who was not elect
cd and who holds spurious certificate of
fraudulent count. Hsmilton's friends al
lege Back let the time pass within which to
give notice Of contest, and that he is there
fore barred; Backs friends might say in re-
buttal that the certificate was purposely
withheld so be could not give the notice, and
that the law cited does not refer to JOINT
Council members.
The problem is not easy of solu tion.
Hamilton did not wish to apply for the seat
In the first place, but was pushed on and IL
held to 1t by his Democratic friends. We
believe he Is thoroughly honorable gentle
man and be has been an excellent member
heretofore. He does not probably believe
| he Is entitled 10 the seat. But II he should
decline to contest for it, that would moi
break the deadlock. 1t is suggested that a.
some Of the Hamiltonian members are vel
advanced In years, one or more Of them may
die aud settle the contest. But the Others
i could absent themselves astbey have hereto
fore done and leave the. Council without
q quorum, Mr.. Back might break 1t by re
firing, but there seems mo doubt that he wa
legally elected, was deprived Of the csrtifi
cate by unfair apo, illegal methods, and ha '
Ing got the best of his adyersaries is going Il
mako them unhappy awhile anyhow. Pos
session Is nine points Of the law and he ba
got his seat with "Back hold" The Coun
ell should have organized 1t first, givin
Hamilton the seat on his certificate and the

proper. But the Hamilton men stai6 ava

gins, who wrote warning the President OF
tremendous storm which was to overwhelm

take the course and pass over the points pre-
dicted by wigsins would require the inter.
position of physical phenomena entirely at
variance with anything ever before expert
encsd. General Hazen closes his letter with
the following rebuke TO the Associated Press,
through which the letter Of the Canadian
prophet was made public "Tos severe re-
