WINE giving thelr opinions IN the highest
respect many are romancins whether any
thing other than pressing business engage
ments had caused Alderman Schwarz not
10 attend, which was the Knockout blow
Tor the party men. Ills friends readily
accept the excuse that he was unavoidably
detained at the bakery, while others, wno
are not 50 wei acquainted with him, OK
press the opinion that he was the victim
of political influence. rumor was afoat
that a well-known druggist. believed 20 be
interested in the defeat of the ordinance,
was in consultation with Alderman
Schwarz the night previous to the time for
the Council meeting Wednesday afternoon
Whether this rumor had any foundation is
not known. but the action of Alderman
Schwarz in absenung himself from the
meeting woul1 seem 10 strip it OF all cor
roborative evidence. 1t does not stand to
reason that the druggist had any direct
or indirect connection with Alderman
Schwarz' absence, as it is understood the
conservatives confidently expected his
vote. The confidence with which the con
servatives were figuring on this vote
would have made it inconsistent for the
druggist to have countenanced a sugges-
ton of absence
Another rumor is that one of the Gar
fuukcIs appeared at the CITY exchange
