Samuel Trrbhy was present. ana
in Il very aggrieved tone OF voice
asked the city council to designate
some place to he known as the office
of city clerk. Treoby. it appears, Ia
running u candidate for alderman Oi
the Third ward, and was not salts
fled with the position assigned his
candidate by the clerk in the matter
OF filing his petition. Trebby's com
plant evidently touched tender
chord In the hnsOm Of Aid. Martin.
hid he chirped an echo that was III
tended to cast relies ton on the mo-
tives OF City Jerk Brown. The city
clerk explained the situation LO the
council. stating that one Of the candi-
dates for alderman Oi the Third
ward appeared before him at the
D ,stOffice W here he ia now employed.
and rendered him his petition OF
nomination with the necessary lee.
and asked that 1t be filed. The clerk
refer. ed him to his deputy at the city
II II. and as the deputy was out the
candidate returned and 50 stated
and again rendered the petition and
fee which were accepted and the
clerk filed 1t at the hour OF $ O'Clock,
which was the time when accepted
by him. Trebby, 1t appears. went
to the deputy clerk and filed his CALI
didate's petition at $50, and because
the deputy did not know that an
other petition had been filed. he
claimed that his petition was en-
titIed to first place on the ticket.
The council had no power to remedy
the matter, and apparently did not
care to II 1t had, and no action was
taken, but Aid. Martin tried to cast
further reflections ON the official con-
duct of the city. clerk by claiming
that he had allowed certain city re-
cords to be taken from his office.
He attem pted to prove this by
Trebby, but failed. He then claimed
that certain city document was Of
his own knowledge missing. This
promptly arc used the Indignation Of
the city clerk, who after explaining
the methods employed by Aid. Mar
tin to get hold Of this document
without the clerks knowledge, In
plain language told him he was a
prevaricator. He challenged Aid.
Martin to show where a single cit:
document was missing, or to call for
one that he could not produce i'm
media ely. The alderman got de-
cidetlly the worst OF the tilt.
The council then adjourned until
Thursday, March II, when it will.
meet to canyass the election returns.
