This was how The two disturbing Que>-
tons were settled by the Election CON-
mission yesterday morning.
The several attorneys representing the
several clubs were allowed ample time to
discuss the subject but after it all only
Mr. FitZhugh, who is on the Blennerhas-
sett ticket himself for reelection as Sur
veyor, favored any Of the names they sug-
gesied.
Z. a. DolaD. the father of the "Popu-
list" ticket. was present to represent that
party. but Attorney Magill claimed to be
authorized 10 speak in their behalf and
was so recognized. DOlan was allowed to
talk, however, and insisted that his party
be designated as the "O'Donnell party" or
the Popular party"
Mr.. Block disposed of the matter with
the following resolution:
Resolred, That each nominee on the petition
OF the so-caled POpulisis with the exception
OF those nominees who are entitled TO be placed
on the municipal ballot by reason of heir
nominations by a convention of political
party, b placed upon the said ballot and that
this resolution is passed in obedience to the
decision OF the supreme Court in the man
damus cases Of said so-called Regular Non
Partisan and Populist parties recently pending
before said court.
And II Is further resolved that the desigDa-
tion Independent be placed opposite the said
names upon The said ballot.
Mr.. Fitzhugh alone voted mo" He was
very suilen about it and said that these
par les should have names by which they
could be perpetuated. Mr.. Morgsnstern
Tor the Regulars" and Dolan for the
Populists fled a protest.
The matter OF letting the contract for
printing the ballot was then taken up and
it was found that after all there were no
other bids than that of Hicks, Judd & Co.,
$1,000.
1hey signifed their Willingness and
ability to put up certified check of $4,000
10 guarantee a proper fulfllment of the
contract.
There was some discussion of the meth
ods of counting the ballots often prac-
Iiced-ons member of the board retreRting 2
