upon reRssembling, on Mr.. Smith'5
motion. the twenty first ballot was
orderad The result was the same as
IN the preceding hallotH. The balloting
was continued, there being no cnange
in tho twonty second ballot. On the
twenty third one ballot was cast bear
ing the nance of Messrs. Leary, Healey
and Zebley, tho inference being that 1t
was voted by Mr.. O'Neill, as. while he
is believed to have been voting blank
before that time, on that ballot there
were but six blanks, a falling off of
one, and Mr.. Oberly recsived six votes,
the Hame AZ in tbs preceding ballots.
This twenty twenty fifth and
twenty-sixth were tho same as the
twenty third. out in the twenty seventh
there was change. There was no vote
for the Loary. Healey. Zehley ticket, but
instead ono was cast for NJ esHrs. Leary.
Cannon and Iebley. Otherwise the
ballot was unchanged.
Wheu the result had heen announced
Mr.. Smith wanted TO know If ma
iority nf the members had voted lie
was informed by the president that q
majority had voted, whereupon he con-
tended that the blank ballots could not
he counted. lie claimed that such was
the method OF procedure in all legiHla-
tive bodies. and as Council was a
Legislative body that rule should be
followed.
Mr.. Robertson held that it required
the votes of majority Of the members
to Ulset.
President Letch asked Mr.. Smith il
he could show him such a rule.
Mr. Smith said be thought the rule
could be found in Cushing Manual, if
the president would look IL up.
Mr. Robertson remarked that Council
had it's own rules and that no such rule
had been made by the body. President
Leitoh agreed with him and decided
against Mr.. Smith.
At this iuncture Mr.. O'Neill re-
marked: II would suggest that the
gentleman tmeaning Mr.. Smith, Gun
ploy the same rulo us in the selection
OF a meat inspector, and see how it
works"
Mr.. Leary then moved that as there
was no evidence OF progress that Coun.
Gil adjourn until O'Clock Wednesday,
evening. Nobody seconded the motion
and on motion of Mr.. Kane the twenty
eighth ballot was taken, the result
being the same as in the twenty
seventh.
Following this ballot Mr.. O'Neill's
motion TO take recess until 8 O'Clock
Wednesday evening prevailed.
After the meeting Mr.. O'Neill dropped

hearers to mean that he meant 10 main
tain the stand he had taken from the

Curative power is contained in

costs the proprietor and manu-

Der more and it is worth more to

quired in it's preparation and it
combines more remedial qualities
than any other medicine. Conse-
quently it has a record of more
cures and it's sales are moro than

were formed in line and the con-
test began by each one repeating
verse of scripture. For q
while it looked as though the
contest would be a lengthy one,
as each member was SO we'll

the line was broken, and gradu-
ally, one by one, the contestants
took their seats until at last little
