FOR WHAT THE coLoRED TROOPS
FOUGHT.
The colored brethren made strong
fight for Bailiff of the Police Court.
Alderman Adams (coloredl nominated
for this position, which he declared was
one with little work and good pay"
3 friend Of his own race, Mr.. Doyle.
Secretary Jones, Lawyer Hayes, and
several others fought strongly for their
man. They had stuck to the Reform
ers with rare exceptions, and thought
1t but Just that they should be recog.
nized in having one Of their race re-
ceive this appointment.
Mr.. NJ. Murphy and other white
members were in favor Of the colored
aspirant. Mr.. Owen thought it im-
polite to reward the colored brother
at this particular time, but would
gladly use his influence in that di-
rection at some moro convenient
season. Several others viewed the
subject from this standpoint, among
them Mr.. Bethel, who unhesi-
tatingly said that square justice de-
manded that the colored man should
have this place, but that policy would
forbid, and that policy would have to
rule in this, as the reform movements
young and must be surrounded by
every safeguard.
Alderman Adams got the floor and
sounded note Of warning to the Re-
formers, to whom the colored people,
be said, had given in the recent election
over 5000 majority. After seeing that
Doyle could not be elected he moved to
make Murphy's election unanimous, but
this could not be done.
