OF Wellington, Sits on the RedeemerS of the

Of wellington, Sits on the Redeemers of the
City Council
One phase OF q political disturbance
in Wellington is described by a daily
press report as follows:
The city council has bsen struggling
with what has proved to be 'grBve"
question indeed. Wellington has an
official city sexton, q republican who
has been in Office two years. The Ooun-
oil is republican, but the mayor, who
has the sppointil & power, is not, and
the council beheld their town threat
ened with the awful possibility Of re-
publicsns having their last hRllowed
resting place prepared for them by the
irreverent and unhOly hands Of q Popu-
list grsve-digger. The enormity Of such
contingency forced them to act. For
an unregenerste Populist or democrat
to 90 much as open the earth to receive
the blessed rsmsins Of q "redeemer"
was too great saorilege to be permitted
These Councilmen therefore conceived
the idea OF legislating into perpetual
service the ancient worthy who had 90
sAtisfsctorily filed the graves of those
who had received official permission to
be buried.
They passed an ordinance taking
away from the mayor the power to sp-
point the sexton, their mayor having
been elected from an opposing faith by
perverse voters. The mayor would Rp-
point democrat or Populist but never
'redeemer." In fact he had sent in
names Of thirty different men, who were
qualified to deposit the earth over those
taken away, before this vexsd question
could be settled. The city council
promptly rejected them all, and then
decided to give themselves the power 10
make their own appointment.
The ordinance was passed and sent to
Mayor Savage. There it rests, for
Mayor Savage vetoed it and gave his
reasons for it.
In bis veto message Mayor Savage
says to those oouncilmen who have
taken theiE politics into the grave:
