The Gambling Ordinance Passed.
The Mayors Veto Sustained-Coun-
! cflmAn cleveland Answers the
Mayors Objections.
The board of councilmen held pro-
traetsd meeting and disposed of three i'm
portant measures: The mayors veto of |
the bootblaoldng ordinance, the question |
of granting permission to the united ltal-
ian societies to erect statue Of Columbus
on the Wooster square green and the or
dinance on gambling.
It seems that the councilmen had been
labored with during yesterday by the OPP
ponents of granting permission to the Ital-
ians to build their monument on the
Wooster square green, and early In the
evening when motion was made to re-
commit the question to the committee on
squares it passed with but little opposi-
ton. Later motion was made to recon-
slider, and the house went into a committee
on the whole to consider the matter. At
torney Paul Russo explained the position
of the societies, which was in substance
that the mayor and others had admitted
that the statue, judging from the photo
graph, was q work of art and that the
manufacturers were willing to make an
affidavit that it was a counterpart of the
picture. The statue itself is of bronze
with pedestal eleven feet high by nine
square of brown stone.
Talcott d. Russell appeared for the OBJ
given to the city, it was with the stipu-
lation that no building was to be put up
on it.; that the committee, whatever their
other qualities we're not art critics, that
the park at Oyster point or at East Rock
might be used for the statue. Councilmen
Atwater and Green spoke in favor of
giving the Italians the permission they
asked, and Hoadley opposed it. Council
man Shaw, after saying that If Mr.. Tai
colt Russell thought the statue good
enough for East Rock park, that it ought
to be good enough for the Wooster square
green, and moved that the committee rise
and report a concurrence with the action
of the board Of aldermen, which had given
the Italian societies permission to erect the
statue on the square. This was carried by
q considerable majority.
The mayors veto of the boot backing
ordinance came before the board. Coun-
Gilman Cleveland made reply to the OBJ
| jections put forth in the executive message
| and movedthat q vote be taken on the Or
dinance. Councilman Fitzgerald spoke in
favor of sustaining the mayor, and the Or
| dinance was defeated.
Though the hour was getting late Coun-
Gilman Matthewson surprised some of
the members by moving reconsideration
of the action taken by the board at the last
meeting on the gambling ordinance. The
board of aldermen had indefinitely post
poned it and the counci1men took no def
mite action on it on August 10 when the
matter came before them. The vote was
then IS in favor to 6 against, which was not
a majority of the whole board. Council
man Cleavelsnd moved the passage of the
ordinance, and it was passed by vote OF
% to 6.
Those in favor were: Widman, Gilbert,
Shaw, Parsons, Guernsey, Everett, McWil
liams, Mcneil, Calm, Doughan, We'll Fitz
gerald, Ahearn, Rabanus, Matthswson, At
water, Hoadley, Regan, Cleavelsnd, Nc
Donald, Peck, Baschant, Sullivan.
Those voting no were: A. P. Smith
Nicholson, McKenna, Rathgeber, Splitter
Green.
The Palladium and It's Competitors
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
I have watched with interest the differ
emit phases of the trouble existing between
the Palladium and its men, and want tx

who have been sacrificed for their sturdy
adherence to principle. This prinoipl,
forms the bulwark of our liberties anc
keeps sacred our altar fires. But let III
look for moment at what the Palladium
have done. Through fear of the threats
of the union and in the hope that it,
"prestige" will enable them to turn few
psltry dollars aud cents, they are willing
to turn out their old and faithful force
whose workmanship is entirely satisfactor.

have families, toto curry favor with al
organization whose methods they admi
they despise, and which has been twic

archistic methods-an organization will
