convince the most skeptical. On every vote
of Importance Ruef, Pistolesi, Hagencamp.
Windt ard the other so-caled indepen-
dents voted solidly with Mahoney and
gave Kelly the worst of it on every
turn. IL was discovered also that the
returning board stood to 7 in favor OF
Burns and Plllsbury, and Kelly realized
keenly that he mad been outgeneraled on the
proposition when it came to the selection Of
polling places.

prevailed by vote of 81 to "a. the mer-
chants voting nearly to man with Ma
honey.

already selected be found 10 hold Office,

the vacancy thus created. This also PIE
vailed.

THE REPORT ADOPTED.
The report Of the committee was adopted
unanimously and ordered INCORPORATED in
the call, after which an adiou rnment was
had.
GENERAL ROW.
There was entire lack Of harmony in the
proceedings of the Returning Board, and
Mahupey and Dorm crossed swords at every
proposition. The former had the better OF
the argument in most instances, and the
stout attorney frequently lost his temper at
the sharp thrusts of the Senator Both
were armed with type written lists of pro-
posed polling places which had been m ade
out by their respective friends, and Dorm
accused Mahoney Of trying to rush slate
through.
~ on have got the only slate that know
anything about" retorted Mahoney, land [
am only trying TO see that we get a fair
shake"
This aDgered Dorm, who grew sulky and
refused TO make any more recommends
tons for polling places. The people, he
said, would see through the job and rebuke
1t at the polls.
The people have seen through your Jobs
Tor long time" was the reply, "and have
already revolted."
Thus the argument went on, but Mahoney
carried nearly every point With him voted
Greenwood, Brandt, Moran, Mccormick.
Mullen, Asher and McMullen. This gave
the Mahoney end of it eight to the others
seven, and this may be considered as a fair
list of the standing of the committee on gem
eral questions.
