fight, and as such he should vote accord
ing to party dictatiOn. He was. however,
OF the opinion that certain matters could
be materially bettered by change.
The water works was conducted after
fashion that did not meet with his APP
prevail nor of his constituents. The com
mittee had been granted autocratlc
overs and the council had no right to
say word about appointments. he
was of the belief that the committee
should be made amenable TO the council
after the manner OF other subordinate
bodies.
Aid. Harvey said that the excuse and
| argument offered by Aid. Haynes were
but flimsy ones. The council had every
| thing to do with the appointments OF
| the water works, and when the alder
man from the Second stated Othelwl
| he stated what he knew to be far from
| the truth. The whole matter was a
| scheme for the minority of the commit
| tee OH water works to be able to bring
! in a minority report and secure Its
| adoption.
When Aid. Woodward was called
! upon to vote he arose with lost eX-
preston OH his countenance. lie stated
| that he was III an embarrassing posi-
! ton, and he certainly looked it. He
| had been pressed into the fight, he SAID,
and he felt that the attending clrcum-
! stances made it contingent upon him
| To vote with the Democrats. A COM
| placent smile passed over the faces Of
| the Democrats as he said this. The
| speech of Aid. Miner was brief one.
at appears TO me-" said he, THAT the
council is about to do something dlscred-
liable to itself. There are certain menl-
bers of this body who are DESTROYS OF
attaining certain ends, and this method
| is adopted. 1t is not right to humlliate
our president in this manner. 1t is bet
ter not TO attain our ends than to adopt
such questionable methods"
ScoIds and Eackbiters.
Aid. Bradish remarked that one rea-
son for his voting to depose the presi-
dent was that the standing committees
were ill-sorted. They appeared to have
been appointed after the manner OF
petit iuries, not for what they knew,
but for what they did not know. He
was of the opinion that the commit
tees should be appointed by the
Democrats, for the reason that they
were in harmony with each other and
united. The Republicans, on the other
hand, were disorganized, and many of
| them had degenerated into common
scolds and back biters. He saw evil
! dences of il every day. He was also
| anxious to see the water department
| placed on good footing. Under
J the present management it Was de-
| teriorating in system and value. There
must be a change at once, and therefore
| he took this method of securing it. The
mayor had pushed his finger into the
| affair and blocked the proceedings of
! the council. AS for the insinuationS of
| the alderman from the Second ward, he
; would say that he (BradiSh) was fight
ing in the ranks OF the Republican party
with a musket on his shoulder when
| the young gentleman was in tire cradle.
| If he did anything wrong now, lie would
| live long enough to repent 1t. lie did
not consider, however, that he was do
| ing anything wrong.
Aid. Schwartz, in explaining his vote,
| gave short history of the workings of
| the old water committee when he was
i the lone Democratic member. There
! appeared to be no other way to remedy
the matter than the one pursued,
so he voted to depose the presi-
dent. When Aid. Gray took the floor
it was evidtn that his choler had
risen to dangerous point. He
J remarked that if he had the felicity of
| occupying the chair and Aid. Rand re-
fused to cake his seat, there would be a
! funeral Rand smiled as he retorted
! that the funeral would occur away out
in the woods. meaning the Thirteenth
ward. Aid. Gray said that the proceed
ings were disgraceful, and he never felt
himself as far away from civilization be-
fore.
Brazie's Inward Tears.
When President BraZie's name was
/ called he arose and, in voice that told
! of inward tears, remarked that he could
not vote on the question. He desired
! to assure his friends, however, that he
would ever be grateful to them for the
manner in which they had fought for
him. He also said he had nothing but
the kindliest feelings for those who
voted against him. The scene was
truly pathetic one, and even the Dem
ocrats sympathized with the man who
had been dismantled of his honors.
/ When Aid. Rand had called out the re-
suit of the'vote, he said:
IL hereby declare the Office of the
president of the council vacant"
Aid. BraZie took seat among the
members on the floor. and Vice Presi-
dent Snyder took the chair. Then came
a motion to proceed with the election OF
a new president. Aid. Rand and Gray
were appointed tellers. The first ballot
resulted in the election of Kiichli. He
secured 10 votes; BrazIe received z, and
| Snyder received l. The new president
took his seat. and Aid. Rand asked if
there was any objection to his intrOduc
ing motion.
Il object" called out Aid. Brazie.
"All right" said Aid. Rand, as he
subsidized, 'Pll see you later"
