The friends of Borough Clerk c. P
Savage seem determined that he shal
hold the Office during the ensuing year
His enemies, or rather the Patricl
Henry club, are equally determined
that ne shall not handle the borough
documents. Mr. Irwin, whom they
wish to appoint in Mr.. Savsge's place,
is a member OF the ring, and as tn,
councilmeu are pledged to elect him i
is supposed that war will be waged
fiercely for many moons to come. In
the position OF borough clerk Mr.. SAY
age has proved himself invaluable tt
all interests. and his abilities are moi
questioned even by the councilmen wht
wish to depose him, In fact it is plall
to be seen that if it were not for tn
cast iron pledge, Mr. Savage would b.
elected, anl words of regret are hearC
on all sides because Of his attempte
overthrow.
