GEN. POPE'S RESOLUTION.
The Council is Not Very Likely to
= Adopt 1t.

The resolution introduced at the last
meeting Of the council by Gen. Pope,
and which was laid over until the
library board should act on his explana-
ton, will not pass by a unanimous
vote, if it passes at all, which is doubt.
full. Aids. Meyer, Weed and Deebach
voted against it at the last meeting,
and 80 far as known they have not
changed their minds. Strong pressure
has been brought to bear on Aid.
Weed to vote for the resolution,
on party grounds. but he will probably
show by his vote that he does not con-
slider this to be partisan affair but one
of municipal government, in which the
interests of the city are of the highest
consideration. Mr.. Weed is as good a
Democrat as can be found, but he is
not one of the kind that places party
above right.
Members of the library board freely
say that if the resolution adopted by it
were to be presented again, they would
vote against that portion of it which
commended Gen. Pope. In view of the
general criticism which the resolution
has received, the council is not likely to
duplicate it. The council meeting
promises to be an interesting one.
