WHICH WILL GET IT?
A Chairman of the Council to be
Elected Tuesday.
A GLANCE AT THE MATERIAL
Moran, Locfbourow, Beardsley, Horn and
Karrlck Said to Want the Honor of
Presiding Over the Council.

There will be pretty little struggle for
honors in the council chamber on Tuesday
next--in fact it threatens to rival the pull
recently made at the tug-of- war entertain
ment
1t viii all DE over the question as to who
will preside over the deliberations of the
city council for the remainder of the term.
Mayor Baskin's official life as president of
the council terminated last Tuesday, and
that august body is now without head
Among those who are prominently spoken
of for the position are Moran, Loofbourow,
Beardsley and Horn The former is said
to lead in the race, so far, and unless dark
horse in the shape of Hardy comes in, and
that is hardly possible because ne doesn't
wear a tomahawk, it is said that Moran
will probably to selected, although the
other candidates, Loofbourow particularly.
has quite following.
Beardsley is reported TO have said that
he is we'll satisfied with his present posi-
ton in the council, but Horn is inclined to
lean towards the place so lately vacated by
the mayor
Bell wouldn't surrender his position as
head of the committee on finance for
kingdom, much less the craftsmanship.
WAntland has not yet been named as a
probable candidate, and it is understood
that he has no aspirations to be president
save Of the United States. Besides Want
land is at the head of the streets commit
tee
Heiss is too modest to urge his fitness

care about doing it.
Simondi is reported as having most de-
cided aversion to promotion, and would
rather represent the Fifth precinct in his
humble way taan be tangled in q parlia-
mentarian knot every Tuesday evening.
Evans was seen TO purchase a copy of
Roberts Rules Of Order a few days ago,
but it is claimed by his friends that it was
more with the view of calling Rich down
than of desire to adorn the chair.
Ewing's recent declaration that he would
rather run the Cullen Hotel successfully
than make failure as chief magistrate of
the nation, puts him out of the race, al
though it is conceded thai be would be a
graceful figure in the chair.
Lawson is by far too much in love with
his sewers to leave the head of that COM
mittee-at least until be has been able to
find some work for the superintendent of
sewers to do.
LooIbourow would make dignifed and
competent presiding officer, and might still
give the committee on municipal law the
benefit of his legal acumen.
Horns venerable appearance, aided so
much by his silky, flowing beard, would add
great dignity to the position if he were to
be chosen, as he may be. He has GOODNESS,
tact and nerve, and his long experience In
a sampling mill would aid him greatly in
evolving order out Of a chaos of debate.
His athletic training would also be invelu-
able.
Hardy comes from a family of lighters
Pembroke and he are brothers-in- law-and
has had considerable experience in hand
ling men, and could sling a gavel with the
best of them. He is also an expert
wrestler, a fair boxer, and when in train
ing can sprint as well as anybody. He is
also a good parliamentarian, and his pre-
vious experimentation q portion of which
some one else drew the pay-eminently fit
him for the position. OF course, he is a
Democrat, but that would count in his
favor in most countries.
POLAND comes next on the list, and it
need not be said that he would make most
efficient presiding officer. The manner in
which he handles railroads gives those who
know him confidence that he could easily
take care of the city councillors Want
lands resolutions included. POLAND and
the writer went to school together, and he
has a very distinct recollection, even
though it was TWO decades ago, that Fol
land used to be of great service to the "old
MASTER in extricating him from the perli-
amentarian labyrinths in which the old man
would find himself at times. Folland is
hardly as ornamental as some of the other
councillors, but he has habit of arriving
at his destination when he starts on
Journey. He has been a very valuable
member of the council so far, and would
wear gayel with dignity.
If it were not for the fact that Rich is
not in the best of health just now, being at
least forty pounds short of his fighting
weight, he would probably be the best
selection that could be made. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that he could get Want
lands vote without using good deal OF
eloquence He has had a varied expert
ence, from waiting for his one shirt to dry
on q Sunday morning among the hills of
Morgan county to drawing his check for
$4,000. He is out OF training now, but
could WELD gavel very gracefully, if it
were not too heavy. His knowledge of |
law is sufficient to keep the
boys in line, and there is no one who would
not come to order as Rich's stentorian |
tones rang through the room. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that Rich is angling for
the position.
Karrick is out of the race, because he is
out of the city too much. Otherwise, there |
Is 40 member of the council who would !
lend moro dignity to the chair soon to be
filled.
And anything loaned at the city coun-
Gil is always appreciated.
