against the honest reform of an honest
Mayor. That Mayor Timken is making a
brave fight against the ring by which he is
surrounded in Council cBnnot be dis
counted, and if all the stories of those who
are opposed to him be true, he is certainly
very unpopular man; but his VIC
tory over all of them in his last
contest for the Mayoralty is pretty
good evidence that he is popular in the es-
TEEN of the best citizens Of the city
even though some good citizens may have
been influenced against him. Ex-Assessor
Reid could not be found last night but it
was confdentially learned that, as he was
during the Mayoralty contest. he is for the
Mayor first, last and all the time. That
Mayor Timken is against the reappoint-
ment of Dr.. Heller for City Physician and
Corporation Attorney Stuhr is also
pretty well established fact
The TATTLER met Councilman Londrigan
on Washington street last evening and
sought an interview with him. "I'm where

emphatic reply. 'He knows my position,

purely personal matter, and thought it
would be impossible to break the deadlock.

would hold over. DIR. Heller was next
seen. He said, in reference to his
reappointment 81 stand on my mer-

will reappoiut me if they don't

charged him with it he denied that it was
