81 u board OF fuDuc w OEkh aWh5. Lllt next
business In order. Mr.. Harrell moved
that this election be postponed until the
next regular meeting. This kicked up
lively racket, during which half dozen
members undertook TO act as presiding
officer. Motion after motion was
male until the author Of Barkley's
Digest would have been unable to unrayel
the state OF affairs. The prospect for re-
and fighting o"er the tangle
until morning was good, until Mr.. Hill
dreth moved to lay the whole matter on
the table. Then the Council and the
lobby heaved sigh OF relief, and the mo-
ton was unanimously adopted. Thirty
i've minutes OF time was consumed over
this, and several minutes more were lost
in fight over motion TO elect O City
Receiver before the Board. This motion
finally prevailed by vote OF "a to 10,
and nominations for that office were called
for. Mr.. Hildreth nominated Ed. w.
Dunaway, the present incumbent. and
half dozen volunteered to second the
nomination. Mr.. Sweeney nominated
Mr.. ]. NJ. Todd; Mr.. Bingell, John j.
Quigg. Applications were received from
Geo. II. Carnahan and L. o. Smith. On
a call OF the roll the votes for Dunaway
rolled in at aliyely rate. He received s.
votes and Mr.. Todd II. Mr.. Dunaway's
election was heartily applauded. He has
served faithfully and his reelection was
deserved Mt the hands OF Council.

the election Of the two Boards, but 1t wa
unsuccessful. Mr.. Cruise nominated Johr
Butterfeld; Mr.. Bingell, John Fl. Hobbs
Mr.. G. B. Caldwell, John Clator; Mr.
Comerford, James Healy; Mr.. Farrell
Dave Brooks. Mr.. ALI. Caldwell nomi
mated Mr.. David Bell, saying as he did so
that he believed that the only way il
which the Boards conld be kept health!
was to give the minority representation
and he asked all Democrats to unite will
him in voting for Mr.. Bell. Only one bal
lot was necessary TO ascertain who. SHOULD
compose the new D. p. w. The vot,
stood as follows: ButterReld, %; j. II
Hobbs, 81; David Bel, 81; James Healy
10; John Clator, IL, and David Brooks, Il

might hapO hC1n concluded an loNr ear
lier had it not been for the rackets ovcl
the motion to postpone the election oil the
members OF the Board aud the foolishnesl
OF some OF the members in changing theil
votes on every ballot. The defeat OF Mr.
Unrqh was perhaps the greatest surprise
Of the evening, There were some Demo
Gratis who took part In that performance

some OF the German Democrats.
Some OF the nominating speeches were
very funny and II they could have been
preserved EaEld have been valuable fol
future generations.
