The city authorities are in legal tangle
which threatens to make the election TO
be held here today void. Some time since,
when nominations by the Republicans
and Democrats we're being made, it was
discovered that the Legislature had re-
Gently passed law compelling the cleo
ton of Alderman-a large in cities of this
class, which officer was to be the presto
ing officer of Common Council. This law
was not relished by number of citizens,
and they called upon their Representatives
to have the law repealed. A repeater was
accordingly introduced and went through
both houses.
AS there appeared to be no opposition
to the repeater it was thought the law
would be done away With, and the two
parties mutually agreed to make no NOM
nations, and the official ballots were or
dered printed, entirely ignoring the Office
Yesterday, on inquiry as to the DISPOSE
ton of the repeater, it was discovered
that it had never reached the Cover
nor's Office, and the last heard from the
bill was that it was in custody of the Com
mIttee of the House on Passed Bills
This put an entirely new aspect on the
election here, and the City Clerk imme.
diately ordered the official ballots reprint
ed, with the Office of Alderman-at-large
on the face of the ballot. As it was toe
late to file nominations for the Office, the
Office is left blank.
A committee made up of the two parties
issued card calling on the voters to en-
tirely ignore the Office, bat whether the
rank and file will do so remains to be seen.
combination could be formed and man
elected to the Office who would be unfit
for the position.
