Firemen's Opinion.

In regard to the action Of Council last
night member of the Delaware Track
Company says: 1--WE think the action of
Council all right and wish the election to
be investigated. If Council wished it,
we could produce the ffty-two men who
swore they voted for Robinson, and If
the fifty three men whom the election
officers said voted for Cloud. can be pro-
duced, we will on our part give them the
election, but we would then want to
know how fifty-two and ffty-three make
ninetY-eight, which WAS the total mum
Der of votes cast.
At the Washington Company it was
thought that Council could not 90 back
on the seal of the companies and that the
election would stand for Cloud, but they
await the decision of the city solicitor.
One member thonght that political in
auence had something to do with the
election. While another thought that
this disturbance was caused as the FIRST
step toward paid fire department.
