THEY COULDN'T AGREE.
Three Members of the New City
Cauncil Hold Caucuses on the
Appointments.

Three of the newly elected democratic
members of the city council held n cau-
Gus last night and discussed municipal
appointments. Alderman j. I'll. Bright,
w. p. Killman and Weems Ridout were
present. Mayor Thomas and Alderman
{. A. Crandall declined TO attend, and
will not, it is said, be bound by the ca,l-
Gus nominations.
rhe new board will meet on Monday
night for organization. The three that
participated in the caucus last night are
said to have agreed upon ticket which
cnntemplates several changes among the
city officials. For city treasurer w. ii.
Burke will be nominated; for city COM
missioner, 5. II. Brewer for chief of po-
lice. III. B. Taylor. Mayor Thomas is
said To be favorable TO the reappoint-
ment OF Arthur Martin rs chief of po-
lice and Hicks Russell as market-mas-
ter. Alderman Crandall wants j. A.
Farrell appointed market-master.
Alderman j. III. Bright says he wants
a change, and will resign as a member
Of the board rather than go back ON the
caucus nominations. He said the eau
Gus had been called 10y the mayor and he
considered its proceeding binding on the
democratic members of the board. 1t is
thought the city officers will be nomina-
ted in open session Monday night.
There is some discussion as to the part
the republican members of the city coun-
Gil will play in the election of the city
officers. A large part Of the opposition
to the democratic city ticket came from
those who desired change in the ofli-
GERS and did not believe the democratic
candidates would make it. Therefore,
if the Republicans voted steadily for
republican officers, it would cause a
deadlock il the two democrats refused
to stand by the caucus nominees and the
old set OF officers would hold over. Thus
the odium ofnot making change would
rest also OH the republicans. On the
other hand they run the risk of dissatis
faction in their own party should they
form coalition with the democrats.
