AFFAIRS OF The CITY
The Elections Are Coming Pretty Soon
II Will Be Seen.
CLAIMS FOR BIG DAMAGES
Only One Bill Was Allowed and II
Was Afterwards Rcconsidered--
In the Matter of the New
Election Laws.

BUTTE. March 13.-Thc council held n
meeting this evening to award the con-
| tract for the erection of polling booths
for the city election, which is closer at
hand than a good many appear to realize.
The following bids were received: Will
lam Barker, SlH; A. w. Woodbury.. $3.50;
Joseph Campau, SIG. The contract was
awarded TO Barker.
A petition from the Women's and Child
ren's home for the free use of the Aud
forum on the night of April for an en-
tertainment for the benefit of the home
was granted. The city attorney reported
that in tho case of the city
of Butte VS.. T.. II. Wilson and
others, being condemnation proceedings
TO open the intersection of Alabama and
broadway streets, the jury returned n YER
Diet of $4,000, and assessed $500 benefits TO
Mr.. Wilson, which is n practical decrease
of $3.50 from the award of the commits
sioncrs. Mr.. Cotter had filed q motion
Tor n new trial and asked what further pro-
ceedings the council desired. He gave it
as his personal opinion that the verdict of
the jury provided for "A price that was al
together too h gh. The report was referred
TO the street and alley committee for fur
Their investigation as to tho value of tho
ground.
Tho judiciary committee reported
recommending that tho claim of
Thomas Mays, for $3.50 for damages
sustained to his hack and having
n horse killed IN the explosion of
Jan. ID while in the service of the chief of
police, be allowed in the sum of 500; that
the claim of Ed Derrick for 500 for dam
ages alleged to have been sustained to
his house by the explosion be dislllowed
and that the claim of Mrs. Mary Evans
for S5,2O5 damages alleged TO have been
sustained through a defective sidewalk be
also dsallowed.
There was great deal of discussion
over the recommendation in regard to
Mays bill and considerable objection to
ITS payment and il was finally referred
back to the committee. Kelly moved
that the bill be PAID, but his was the only
affirmative vote heard.
Charles LIttle's proposition to furnish
the city with n transcript of the evidence
taken at the coroner's inquest on the bod
les of the explosion victims for $3.50 was
voted down. The report OF the ways and
means committee as published in this
mornings STANDARD went to the judiciary
committee. On motion of Pascoe the
clerk was authorized. to secure certified
copies OF house bill ~, the new primary
election law; house bill 20, the corrupt
practices act; house bill 3l6, relating to
the qualifications of mayor and aldermen,
and house bills 81 and $40, relative to Ii
censes, and have copies of the same
posted throughout tho city and to secure
their publication If possible. Cook called
attention to the fact that sidewalks which
had been ordered built some time ago on
Porphyry and Dakota streets in the
Eighth ward were only partially completed
and the street commissioners were in
strueted to SEQ that they were finished.

PLANS OF The A. P. AS
The Schema Is 10 Rule The Republican
Party in Butte.
FULL TICKET NAMED
There Is Now a Great Big Split In
the Ranks of the G. o. p. In Sill
yer Bow County and There
Is Fun on the Taps.

BUTTE, March 13.-The city republican
central committee held q meeting to-
night and the political situation was thor
oughly discussed, but the conclusions
reached were indefinite except that 1t was
decided not to call a primary election nor
city convention at this time. The start
ling statement is also made that in all
probability there will he no convention
called, but that an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lican ticket will be put in the field with
out the formality of convention nominal
tions.
This action is the result of the fact that
everything on the republican pie counter
has already been cut and distributed
among the "A. p. A. members of that
party and the central committee evidently
does not intend to call farce convention
aud turn it over to the secret political
party. Ii looks very much as thou gh it
will have to be an out-and-out A. Z. A.
convention or none at all.
The A. p. A. has already nominated n
full city ticket and has even made up a
ticket OF DELEGATES for the primary elec-
tion. Every candidate on the city ticket.
with one exception, is a republican and it
has evidently been the intention TO carry
the republican primaries and city conve.l-
ton from root TO branch, but If the CEN
trail committee persists i'm refusing to call
convention 1t will leave some secret So
clety candidates in n serious dilemma.
The following are the A. u. A. nominal
tons Tor the principal city offices: Mayor,
William Thompson; treasurer, A. n. Yo-
der; police magistrate, Il. +. Turner; city
attorney, ID. II. Barlow; chief of police, f.
j. Tebo.
There are as many disappointed candi-
dates in the a II. A. as there usually are
in other political parties, and the result is
split" of vast proportions. and if an in
dependent ticket is put in the field it will
undoubtedly carry with it the very large
majority OF the republican party.

was admitted to the bar at Mount
Gilead, O., in 1860.
In December, 1860, he settled OF
Charleston, ILL.,, as a lawyer, and In
June, 1862, he raised a company in
Coles county, of which he was chosen
captain after he and his men were all
sworn into the service. Upon the or
ganization of his regiment, the One
Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois, he
was elected major and served in the
field until the close of the war. He
was brevetted lieutenant colonel for.
conspicuous gallantry on the field of
battle at Bentonville, n. c., and took
part in the battles of Perryville,
Hoover's Gap, Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge and Atlanta and in Sherman's
march to the sea.
On returning from the service Maj.
Connolly resumed the practice of his
profession at Charleston and soon took
high rank as lawyer. He was after
ward at different times chosen as super
visor of Charleston township, although
it was strongly democratic, as men,
Der of the Charleston Union school
school board, as mayor of the city of
Charleston, and in 1872 and 1874 was
elected to the Illinois house of repre-
sentatives from the district composed
of the counties of Coles, Douglas and
Moultrie.
In March, 1876, Maj Connolly was
appointed United States attorney for
the southern district of Illinois by
President Grant, and at the close of
that term of four years was reap
pointed by President Hayes for another
term, and by President Arthur for still
another term, but in June, 1885, he
was removed from Office by President
Cleveland. During his tenure of office
he conducted many notable cases, and
it is but fair to say he did it with dis
tinguished ability and success. He had
the reputation of being one of the
ablest district attorneys in the country.
In 1868 Maj. Connolly entered into
partnership with T. c. Mather for the
practice of law in Springfield, and in
the fall of that year removed from
Charleston to that city, where he has
since resided and practiced. In 1885
he was the republican nominee for con-
Rress against Mr.. Springer in the old
district, composed Of the counties Of
Sangamon, Morgan, Christian, Menard
Mason and Tazewell. In 1884 Springer's
majority had been about 5000, but in
1885 Maj. Connolly reduced this to less
than ZOO. The district now includes the
counties of Sangamon, Christian,
Macon, Menard and Logan, in which
Cleveland's majority in 1892 was 3,oO3

election by a plurality Of over 1000
