HANDING OVER KEYS.
Democrats Assume the ReinS
of Government.
THE TREASURER GETS sIee, ass.
Mayor Ronald Succeeds Mayor Hall
Other Oficials Install ed-Seyeral
Republicans Retained.

The city of Seattle is now under a DEM
ocratic administration, the new officials
having taken their places at noon yester-
day.
Shortly before II O'Clock J. T. Ronald
arrived at the office of the mayor and was
soon after joined by Aldermen Daulton,
Cram and Sweeney. DR.. Rozsas, c.. II.
Heifner of the Democratic central COM
mittee, and other gentlemen. Courtesies
were exchanged with Mayor Hall, and
general conversation took place. At noon
City Comptroller Ferris joined the group
and in his presence G. W. Hall handed
over the keys of the Office desk to his
successor
Mayor Ronald paid high tribute to Mr.
Hall, and expressed the hope that at the
end of his own term he would retire with
such reputation for fairness as Mr.. Hall
enjoyed with all classes and all parties.
The conversation again became general,
and Mayor Ronald performed his first
official duty by issuing proclamation to
the city council to meet that day.
Corporation Counsel Donworth also as
sumed the duties of the office at noon, and
very soon aiterward responded to re-
quest from the board of public works Tor
an opinion on the validity of Massillon,
McLaae, Arthur and Ohio streets.
In the other offices the ceremony of in
auguration was very slight.
In the treasurer's Office Adolph Krug
received from ". L. Ames the keys of the
safe and SIS, 455 in cash. For the present
there will be no change in the deputies,
and ]. J. kroff will remain some time.
The large amount of money TO be han
died. and the number of entries to be
checked. makes It desirable that some
body familiar with the work should attend
to taxpayers who call at the office while
the books are being checked. The latter
is, TO great extent, mere formality,
as, by the charter system. the comptroller
checks up every day. Enoch Wood and
C. B. Ames are the other two deputies be-
sides Chief Deputy J. ]. krof.
George J. SLOVENIAN was received by
City Clerk Miller and installed in his Of
fee. The amount of business transacted
by both houses during the past few weeks,
and the work of registration and prepar-
ing for election have been so great that the
records are not close up. and Henry W.
Miller has arranged TO stay till the end of
the month, as he is anxious to insure that
there shall be no flaw in the records when
he goes out. City Clerk SLOVENIAN has APP
pointed F. D. Ogden as his deputy, but W.
u. Brown will also remain until the rec
ords are written up.
The office OF comptroller is appointive,
and according TO the strict Interpretation
OF the charter, his term does not expire
until October, but Mr.. Ferris yesterday
rendered his resignation to Mayor Ronald,
expressing the desire not to stand in the
way OF the mayor making his own choice.
The mayor replied that he desired Mr..
Ferris TO withhold his resignation for the
present

TWAS FOR POLITICAL EFFECT,
Democrats Do Not Prosecute Their
Election Day Complaints.

The cases of Frank and Thomas Clancy
and Frank Merely, who were arrested on
election day, March s, at the instance of
Democratic politicians, were thrown out
of court yesterday by Justice Neagle for
want of prosecution. Since the arrest of
the persons named the day for the hearing
Of the cases has three times been contin-
ued and each time at the instance of the
complainants. When the cases were
called yesterday there was no one in court
TO prosecute the defendants and Justice
Neagle consequently declared the defend
ants discharged from custody.
On election day Thomas and Frank
Clancy were arrested on warrants sworn
out by Junius Rochester, who charged
them with selling liquor during the hours
that the polls were open. A little later
the same two men were again arrested,
this time ct the instance of c. G. Heifner,
member of the Democratic central com
mittee, who charged them with aiding in
the illegal registration of voters during
the month of February. Frank Merely
was then arrested on two different charges.
One OF the warrants for his arrest was
sworn out by c. G. Heifner and
the other by L. B. Hart. an
other member of the Democratic central
committee. Both complaints charged
him with aiding in the false registration
OF voters during the interval between Feb
ruary and 24. The warrant sworn to by
Heifner was drawn up by j. 7. Ronald.
The defendants at the time of their ar
rest maintained that they had been guilty
of no crime and that the warrants were
sworn out merely for the purpose of intim-
idating all who were working for the Re-
publican ticket at the polls.

James G. Blaines declaration that hs is not candidate for the presidential nomination will cause widespread re- grst, but, probably, no one more than Blaine himself will feel ksensr dissp- pointmsnt that his physical infrmity makes this action necessary, when tho prize is all but within his grasp, There is little doubt but that this decision was arrived at only after serious cogi- tation, resulting in the conviction that his long cherished ambition must be sacrificed to the requirements ofhealth, emphasized by oft recurring illness. While Blaine's dsclination closes bis active political career, he will continue to exert potent influence in shaping the issues of the day.
