political meetings was had, especially in
the Board of Aldermen, where the ex-
pected settlement of differences between

over the appointment of the committees
was not arrived at, and at adjournment
it was not quite clear Of what other
complications the foundations had been
laid.
In the Common Council the Democrats
availed themselves OF the provisions OK

the January session OF the Legislature as
a measure to compel Mayor Carroll to re-
cognize the Republican aldermen aud put
their proper motions.
The Board OF Aldermen.

meeting OF the Board on the 4th OF January.

up. The solicitor did it. and you agreed
to them.

any thing you have not adopted9 The
clerks minutes Of the meeting Of January

Solicitor?
Mr.. Barnefield tCity Solicitor) II think
that is all provided for in the resolutions.
Mayor Carroll suggested that the reso-

should read: THAT the minutes of the
meeting of the board on January 4, 1892
be adopted as the records of this board"

could be added to some other resolution.
This suggestion did not meet with
much favor

Mayor Carroll was refused adoption by
vote of three to two, the Republicans
voting against IL.
Alderman O'Reilly. with morocco
bound copy of the State Manual in his
hand, arose to address the Board. He
called attention to the fact that Gov.
Brown and Speaker Caprnn had appoint
ed their committees, while yet no rules
had been adopted. No objection had been
made to such appointments His infer
haf ha
might adopt the practice of the Republi-
can methods in the Legislature.
Alderman Adams-You were there,
too.
Alderman O'ReilIy-Yes; and knocked
you out there as / will here tonight.
Alderman O'Reilly spent much time in
looking through the manual, and finally
Mayor Carroll had to take the book to
find for him the Senate rules in relation
to the appointment Of committees.
Alderman Adnms-I move the resolu-
tions be adopted as whole and as origi-
nally numbered.
Alderman O'Keilly-I object.

tary law is. During this struggle you
