The Famous Secret Caucus.
The presentation of the gavel the other
evening at the residence of ex-Alderman
Thornton is not the only historical event
which took place at the residence of Mr..
Thornton. On the evening of Dec. 10,
1896, the famous secret caucus Of the Board
of Aldermen. which was the cause of driv-
ing ex- Mayor Moies into retirement, took
place, and that meeting has left wounds
which will never be healed. The meeting
was called for the purpose Of ousting the
present Chief and Sergt. OF Police. 1t was
voted at that meeting by vote of three
to two, Aldermen Thornton, Eastwood
and Schiller voting in the affirmative and
Alderman Martin voting I'm the negative,
to get rid of those two officials.
The dirty part of the work was left to
the then Mayor, Charles p. Moies, to do,
but he refused, point blank, to do their
bidding. He claimed that he appointed
those men to the Office, and that they had
performed their duties in faithful man
ner, and he, for one, emphatically en-
dorsed their course. That is one Of the
principal reasons that the ring knitted the
Mayor at the next election. The ring de-
feated Mayor Moies thinking that DR..
Gottschalk would not have the stamina
to enforce the liquor laws. But how they
were mistaken, and how they wish they
had not done it.
