Aiacchus' Advice.
CITY soLICIToRsHIP ELECTION.
The Contest Is Scheduled to Take
Place Tonight.

There will be a joint convention Of
councils tonight to elect a city solicitor
and a member of the board of revision
and appeals.
Attorney A. A. Vosburg is the Repub-
lican caucus nominee for solicitor, and
as there are twenty-three Republican
votes on joint ballot, it is very likely
he will be elected. Mr.. Mckinley, the
present incumbent, will endeavor to
prevent an election at this time on the
grounds that his term does not expire
until May >, 1900, and that an election
at this time would be premature.
NJ, V. Morris, of the Second ward, is
the Republican nominee for the vacant
place on the board of revision and ap-
peals, T.. ]. Coleman, of the Sixteenth,
is the Democratic choice.
