II. d. Sheehan is anxious to know wheth er
or not Corporation Attorney LAWYER will re-
sign. He desires this info rmation for the
reason that he is u candidate for the shoes OF
Col. Lawler. Mr.. Sheehan was active on. the
stump for the Republicans during the elec
ton.

The outspoken manner of Timothy Rear
elect in forcing an imported chief of police
upon the people, has led Col. Wright and the
silk stocking element of st. Anthony hill
TO regard Dir. Reardon as not being in So IN
pathy with them. 1t is stated by friends of
Assemblyman Read don that the silk stocking
element will make it so hot for him in the
city legislature tnat he will have to resign.
MIR. Reardon has declared above board that
he will not worship at the shrine of an i'm
ported chief of police, and declared that he
would never vote for his confirmation. The
friends of Mr.. Reardon assert that he W ill be
good man in the assembly and have urged
him to stick it out aud not let the silk stock
1ngs have their own way. He intimated that
he would resign at an early date. but his
friends have replied to this declaration that
it IL his duty to stay in the assembly and not
be forced out by the same tactics that were
used to force Frederick L. McGhee off the
ticket as a presidential elector.
IT,
Mr.. Reardon wasyery wroth after he noted
the conference of Col. W right with the
assemblymen, in which the colonel declared
his purpose to appoint Garyin. AT that
time the mayor was asked if the asse mbly-
men were not by law required to advise and
consent III the matter of selecting the chief.
Col. Wright Informed his interlocutors that
they had nothing to do with the matter; tn at
he was responsible for the appointment of
the chief, and, as he was head of the depart
ment he would do as he pleased. and it was
not the business of The assembly. From this
time on Mr.. Reardon has been hot, although
some of the asSemblymen agreed not to op-
pose the confirmation. Mr.. Reardon has de-
clared he will never vote for confirmation of
Mr.. Garyin.

The wave Of indignation against Mayor
elect Wright, owing to his course in the Sc
lection of chief of police. is agitating a
larger body of Republicans than the mere
casual aware. The friends of some of the
st. Paul candidates are actually wild eyed
over the course of Col. Wright in the matter
and predict all sorts Of ill omens. The way
the friends OF one of the candidates were
treated has made them especially hostile. 1t
was stated by one of the Republicans WHO
forms part of the incoming administration
. that he was much chagrinned at the course
of the colonel toward a delegation of friends
of a candidate. After being opportuned fore
some time the colonel ended the interview by
saying: Il want a man as chief of police
with whom l can meet socially" This was
a hard thrust and the delegation went away
nursing its wrath.
-iiD- - so II
1t is stated mi.officially that Mayor Wright
will not name a chief of detectives. but will
leave the Office vacant; or rather Chief of Po@
lice Garyin will fill both positions. The
combined salaries OF the two Offices is $500
OF this sum s., 900 will be paid to Chief Gar
vim and the other $500 will be either saved or
used for another purpose. Then the legis-
lature will be asked at the coming session TO
abolish the Office of chief Of detectives.
TN this connection and as an economic and
retrenchment plan or policy why not abolish
the Office of market mastcr?' is the way a re-
former put it yesterday. ''Since the market
house is nearly vacant there is no use in
keeping market master and al engineer of
the building at the same time. The market
master receives $1,000 a year, and the engi-
neer receives $1,000 per year. Now. in the in
teresE OF reform. why not combine the two
offices and let the engineer fill both positions
The amount OF work to be done would not be
greater than that of chief Of police and chief
of detectives"
