the saloon question, anu year ago the
so-called law and order party prevailed
ut the city election and came Into
power. A year OF experience with
their form OF government, however,
seemingly convinced the voters OF the
unuesirability OF their methods, 30 at
the election on December a, 1896, the
administration then in power was do
feated and the peoples or citizens
ticket was elected. The law Ruu city
charter requires that the city council
shall Issue certificates OF election u
successful candidates. This the out
going council refused to DO, and, IN
addition TO their refusal to certify their
succeHeors' election, they put up a
claim that new officers cannot quality
until they have such IA certificate OF
election, and therefore the old off GERS
hold over. The new officials, not de-
TERED by these tactics, assumed con-
troll OF city affairs and attempted to
gain possession of the boOke, buildings
and other city property, which was
refused. The people OF tne towD, en-
ragged at the bitterness OF the fight,
met in mass convention and noml-
mated and elected a third set OF o.
ficials, took possession Of the city
property and have assumed control.
The matter is In difficult tengle OF
authority which the superior court OF
the county IL engaged in attempting
TO untangle.
