There ia a law requiring that the Newark Fire
Commission ehall consist of two Republicans and
wo Democrats Mayor Seymour, Democrat.
ex-Alderman Augustus Dusenberry
IS a Republican member Of the Board, but the
Common Council last Friday night promptly re-
ected the nomination on the ground that II did
not strictly comply with the law This reJec-
ion was based on Dusenberrys action during
Inc campaign for Mayor, and his own admissions
since then Because Mayor Lebkuecher refused
to appoint Dusenberry to an office Dusenberry

the real reason why he opposed Lebkuecher and

latter, while Supervisor Of the State Prison. had
given him Ousenberry) a number OF profitable
orders.
Just stop for moment to think OF the Pc
cuiar moral perception Of man who not only
allows himself to be governed by such consid-
erations. but publicly acknowledges the fact.
The Aldermen did right In rejecting Dusen-
berry. They could not have done less ana De
honest to themselves and their constituents
This bipartisan law is humbug as 1t has been
used in Newark and elsewhere IT puts pre-
mum on party treachery, and does not secure
the appointment OF men fairly representative
Of the party in opposition to the appointing
power.j
