Schiek is very popular in the Second, as
1t is the ward in which he resides.
Clarence A. Miller, candidate for
city attorney, WAS introduced. In cub
stance he said: "The Democratic city
and the fact that the city owes the pro-
posed new water system to the Demo-
cratic city engineer ere the beet assur-
ances that Democratic administration
will carry out the wishes of the people
in that matter. 1 have always advo-
Gated the city ownership OF city mono
poles and believe that the opportunity
is at hand and should be seized that will
result in city ownership of water works.
That opportunity is the plan originated
by Mr.. Dockweiler. My opponent is a
candidate for third term. He gives as
q reason that the business of his office is
in such-shape that he must be returned
to carry it on. If this means ANYTHING
it means fourth term, fifth term, q
life estate, Mcfarland dynasty. No
man becomes SO necessary but what his
place can he filed"
Mr.. Miller then took up the pending
cases one by one and sho we'd that many
of them had been lying at rest for long
time and many others are practically
finished, and that there is nothing
alarming in change of attorneys. The
Santa Fe bridge case had been at issue
since May %, 1891, and nothing done.
The suit against the Citizens Water
company has been resting in paralyzed
state eince December 81, 1891. The
Temnle-street cut case was suspended
like Mahomet's coffin, while the city at
torney is to get retroactive legislation
to assist it; likewise the First-street
case. And so other cases have been
left in like manner in quiescent state.
The supreme ''ourt cases have in sev-
eral instances been submitted, and the
only work the attorney has to do is to
watch for decision.
In closing Mr.. Miller said he did not
desire the Office forever, or that it should
be an heirloom, but that he should leave
the place to some other that it may also
be an encouragement and a stepping
stone to his successor.
Il. w. Ready, the nominee in the Sec.
ond ward for the board of education,
made speech, after which Hon. D. In
mes, in response to loud calls, presented
himself and bowed his acknowledg-
menta to the crowd.
Richard Ddnnigan then made quite
an address, in which he numerically
reviewed the record of the present city
attorney, Charles Mcfarland, who is
candidate for reelection. Among other
things Mr.. Dunnigan charged that Mr..
Mcfarland, while acting as city attor-
ney. had also acted as attorney for con-
tractors; that he had also charged fee
of .$25 for passing upon a city deed, be
being then and there salaried by the
city to protect its interests.
The meeting closed with three rousing
cheers for the Democratic city ticket
and for Councilman d. Innes.
