Miner and Skoog are poisoned thorns
in the side of the Republican wing of
the council. The Republicans have
supposed all along, until recently, that
Miner and Skoog were with them. At
! last they have taken tumble" They
| realize that Miner and Skoog are under
no obligations to the Republicans. They
were fought by the Republic
] ans all through the campaign.
| They were nominated and elected
| on a strictly anti-ring, anti-street rail-
way platform. Hence neither of them
| can vote for Bradish for president of
the council. The Republicans see this
need. They had Bradisn slated for
president of the council, but have been
compelled to plan how to let him drop
gently but firmly. Skoog is after the
committee Oh fire department. Miner
thirsts for the life blood of Mosner, the
city sealer of weights and mea-
sures, and Assistant City Attor-
ney Dunn, not to speak of
street commissioners. pound master and
applicants for city jobs. The Repub-
lican organs admit that the situation is
desperate, and that the Republican ma
jorlty has already begun to figure.
Miner and SkOOg will scarcely vote for
any of the hold-over Republicans. All
Of them have furnished themselves with
street railway OIL and that makes them
repugnant to Miner and Skoog. 1t is
said that the Republicans are consider
Ing the advisability of putting forward
for president Fred B. Snyder, the new
alderman from the Second ward. Ii the
Democrats succeed in making eombi-
SKnnU
they ale in a fair way to do.
j. c. Haynes will be their
man for president. Aid. Joe Kiichli
would like to be the candidate, but he
won't be. Kiichli understands Roberts
Rules of Order, but he will never be
president Of the council. 1t is admitted
that Aid. Woodward, frightened by the
hazardous position of she alleged Re
publican majority, is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of acting with the Demo
Gratis.
Some of the East siders are agitaling
the question OF redlstricting the East
side so as TO make all additional ward.
They think they are entitled to four
wards over there on the basis of COM
parative population. f. q. Barrows
does not think action of that sort is
objection to the present division is that
Central avenue being the dividing line,
half the business district is thrown into
the Second and half in the First and
Ninth. He thinks the best plan would
be to so rearrange the East side wards
that the business district would fall
within one ward.
The produce exchange, through
special committee headed by W. G. G.
Corbett, has taken the initiative, and is
being supported by the business union
in movement to have enacted new
bankruptcy law. Mr. Corbett thinks
that the power of appointing the as
sigpee should be taken out of the hands
of the asslgnor. A state officer, either
elected or appointed by the gov
ernor, should have power to ap-
point the assignee in case OF failure.
the district judges might do it, or the
creditors might be empowered to choose
him. He thinks there is now no ade
quate penalty provided for the debtor
VINO attempts to conceal assets and de-
fraud creditors. He also thinks that
no bankrupt whose estate pays less than
a certain fixed per cent of his debts, as
SO or 80, should be released.
