Paxson and Houes Did Not
Have the Goods Delivered.
NO USE FOB A EIeeBR, EoHow y


cil's Actions-Hs Allowed Corruption
Hall TO Play Him for a susker-siass-
man shelved for Feaster.
Councilman James Tyre, the Seventh
waro Republican, Is Chambers man and
Bach, Billany and Buster have no use
for him They played him for sucker
last week and now Tyre is practically
nobody, IN a place In which he might
have figured as the biggest man BY
voting for the unseating OF James M.
Griffin and the seating Of Francis Magu.
igan he cut of the limb upon which he
was sitting
Before the contest was decided the
vote in City Council was Z Republicans
and 3 Democrats Mr. Grifiin's name not
being called on the Democratic side.
The Corruption Hall wire pullers knew
they could not depend at all times on
Mr., Tyre to help them carry out their
schemes He might allow himself to be
led around by the nose part Of the time,
but not all the time With six Repub-
licans and six Democrats In Council Mr.
Tyre would have the casting vote aud
could dictate the policy OF his colleagues
This would never do. A straight out
Republican must be put In In Griffn's
place, and Tyre must be cajoled into
voting to seat Maguigan.
The long aud short Of II is that, in
stead Of staying away from the City
Hall or voting with the Democrats to
prevent the outrage and protect himself,
he voted with the Republicans to remove
Griffin and seat Maguigan. As soon as
he had done that the Republicans had no
further use for him They had work
ing msiority OF one. even though he
voted with the Democrats. Tyre saw
his mistake too late to remedy the
effect, and on Tuesday evening the Big
Seven bowled out his candidate for city
office as soon as he was named
The game did not end with Tyre.
| Charles Paxson, who was witness
against Mr. Griffin, wanted 10 be coal
oil Inspector Lewis X Houes, who was
the Republican star witness, was
Maguigans candidate for bai.if. Both
men we're turned down unceremoniously.
They had allowed themselves to be
used and Bach, BillanJ & Buster had no
more use for them. Houes was
buichered TO make room for rillman, a
negro, and he is very sorry TO day that
he ever went TO so much trouble to un.
seat Griffin for the benefit Of man who
could not deliver the goods he promised.
A Break in the Slate.

among the Republican heelers that the
