II il undoubtedly the intention Of tn
dsgmocrats to proceed in a high-hande
1iAnher In q bold attempt to steal tn
iASce about to be made vacant by tn
teifEnaaion d Mr.. Jones. councilma'
from the First ward. This would Civ
them control Of the council in spite @
the tie scroes the track, should they b
able to carry their n%efario1s schem
through. A the council now stands
during Mr.. Jones' absence there is bare

Fee hopes to prevent any action what
ever, upon the matter Of the tie in tn
Third ward or anything else. In tn
case of = tie. the new law provides,
conformity with the statutes in case {
tie In the election Of state and count
ofacers, that the city council shall de
eide who IL elected. In the present cas-
the council being republican would yer
naturally decide the tie In favor Of I'll
republican party. This would give tn
republicans three members Of the cour
Gil and the democratic two. By the
thieving scheme, however, the dmocrat
hope to prevent the appointment Of
councilman In Mr.. Jones' stead till afte
they hive the appointing power.
A more braxen and h~igh-handed piet
oe political trickery was attemp,
ed in this community. But 1t cannt
succeed. Mr.. Jones IL , republican. H
was elected to once by the repabllca
party. The republicans are in powe
and they will all the vacancy which wi
be occasioned by his resignation.
