WEDNESDAY MORNING MARCH Is 1885,

and naughty words upon his tongue.
He told Book in very vigorous English
and German what he thought of INN.
Book meekly replied that his people did
not want Mr.. Cornish, never had, and
that the pressure brought to bear upon
him was so great that to vote for Mr..
Murray was a necessity. Go" said
kuby, ITO your people and ascertain
who Is their choice for city attorney
among the Republicans, and report
to- me. MIR. Book replied that he would,
ana so, called meeting and received in
structlons that Henry Johns was their
cholce. In the meantime w. E. Mac
Donald, another active member Of the
club. had seen Aid. Dennis NJ. Sullivan.
Mr.. Sullivan at first said that he was
disgusted with the whole thing and was
going. to the Pacific coast. On
listening through to MacDonald's
argument that Mr.. Murray could
be upset, he consented to join the new
scheme. All the parties were bound to
secrecy, and it is said that the cofnbina-
ton went so far as to have Mr.. Murray
and Aid. Conley watched for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining how confident they
felt OF success last night. The boom
for Johns worked very we'll until
Monday when, at caucus, he
was declared to be the choice
of a majority of the members of the
council. Walter Sanborn was not in
favor of him, but told the others to 60
ahead and that his opposition would
not defeat Johns. Messsrs. Maben, Kuby
and Mcdonald are reported to have
been very well satisfied with the pros
poets of Mr.. Johns election, and to
have had no uncertain feeling as to the
result. AT this juncture in stepped
President Bickel as the one who was to
find
CURTTUS TO SAVE THIS ROME.
For reasons best known to himself
and the GLOBE. Mr.. Bckel declared
that Mr.. Holman. and not Mr.. Johns,
must be the choice of the Republicans.
IF you care more for Mr.. Johns than
you do for me-" said Mr.. Bickel, ''vote
for him, but if you care more for me,
then you will vote for MI. Hol-
man." Mr.. Holman was approached
and asked to declare himself in
favor of Mr.. Johns. He replied: Il
have given my word to Mr.. Bickel that
that instant Mr.. Johns name was with
drawn and Holman's substituted for
It. By this the vote of Aids.
Yoerg and Fischer was at once
secured and the selection was eminently
satisfactory to Mr.. Book. Mr.. Bickel
really decided the whole thing after
MeSsrS. Macdonald. Book and Kelley
had set the trap. Aid. Sanborn's part
i'll the matter has subjected him to
criticism from his brother Republicans.
1t was
HE WHO SPRUNG CORNISH
upon the council-a gentleman, no mat
ter what his qualifications are, who is
not popular. That, as much as any
thing it seems, influenced Book. Hol-
man, of course. as the attorney of Mr..
.loerg, had no difficulty in command
ing his vote, and Fischer, see
ing German up, was easily
persuaded to break away from his al
legiance to Murray. An alderman who
supported Holman said last evening
that if Mr.. Murray did not give the
office up the council would vote the sal
airy to Holman. This, though, could
probably be stopped by an injunction,
leading to new legal complications.
These facts come to the GLOBE from an
alderman.
