full, he took OFT his coat in the interest
of the ticket. In 1895 he was elected
as republican adldermau from the 1st
ward, and during his term of Office was
elected mayor pro tenn. AS alderman
his course in favor of the city owner
ship of the WAFER works, and against
granting the railroad franchise north
OF Sixth street, has given satisfaction
to the m ass of voters. In 1896 the Ell
