Six City Councillors
Must Go.
ILLEGALLY ELECTED,
JudgeAnderson Virtually Decides
the City Council Cases.
THERE WILL BE NO TEARS
Another Nail in the Coffin of the Party Of
Fraud, Dishonesty, Corruption and Spolia-
tion-Let the Eagle Scream.
The Liberals must go.

Inc Liberals must go.
Six of the men who have Illegally occu-
pied seats in the council chamber for the
past fourteen months must retire and make
room for the men who were legally elected,
and whose title to the seats has never been
questioned by any lover of fair play and
justice.
Just how many of the men who will soon
retire from the gaze of the public will re-
greet the movement which compels them to
CO. is something which is yet to be made
apparent
1t is pretty safe to assume, however,
that Mr.. Cohn will attach the "ex' to his
title with a great sigh of relief; that Mr..
Hall will find better and more congen1al
society in the ranks of the sewing machine
men, which he asserts are at least the equal
of any of the members Of the
present council; that MIR. Noble will be
glad to be retired; that Mr.. Armstrong
will shed the cares that have made him
prematurely gray without the slightest re-
gret-saye that he was ever so unfortu-
nately as to be selected; and that Mr.. VOL
stenholme will shed few, if any tears. Just
how MIR. Pembroke will take the defeat re-
mains to be seen. What the feelings of
will succeed the gentlemen above named
are, has not been ascertained. 1t is not
at all an enviable outlook for them; and
from partial knowledge of the tastes and
habits of the six new members, the writer
feels safe in saying that they would all
prefer to remain in private life were 1t not
for the fact that duty calls them to the of
fees to which they were elected. These

Wolstenholme, involving the latter's title to
seat in the city council, Judge Anderson
yesterday rendered his decision on the de-
murrer filed by the defendant. His honor
| said: This is an action brought to test
the defendants right to a seat in the city
council. 1t is set out that the plaintiff, who
was candidate against the defendant, re,
ceived more votes in the precinct than
Wolstenholme. The:.demurrer admits this
but alleges that the defendant received 8
majority of the votes of the city. l do not
think it was necessary to receive majority
of the votes of the city. The decision of the
supreme court rendered a year ago, was tt
the effect that the election was by wards
and not by a vote of the city. This court
is bound by that decision. 1t being con
fessed in the demurrer that the plaintiff re-
ceiyed majority of the votes of the ward
| think he is entitled to the seat. The de
murrer will therefore be overruled and the
defendant allowed ten days to answer"
