Him to Hold His Seat.
Not more than twenty-five voters from
the east end of the Ninth ward and
fifteen from west end, met at the resi-
dence of N. B. Hill at Thirteenth and
Dlaymont streets on Tuesday evening. at
s o'clock, to take action on the Beale
matter.
There seemed to be sentiment among
them, that as Mr.. Beale had only about
ten months more to serve in Council, it
would be better for him to hold his seat
till the expiration of his term. Prompted
by this feeling, and the fact that apart
from his official dishonesty, he had
always been regarded as an honest man
in the ward, motion was made that he
keep his seat for the remainder of his
term. 1t was passed unanimously.
n. B, Hill was chairman; William
Knight, secretary. The following com
mittee was appointed to notify Mr. Beale
of the action of the meeting: William
Knight, Elwood Knight, Daniel A Forrest.
The call was issued and the meeting
organized by William Knight
A petition will be circulated through
the whole ward for signers. asking Mr..
Beale to hold his seat A rumor existed
that the citizens of the ward would hold
meeting and ask Beale to resign, but
no particulars could be learned.
