After the roll call on Assessor north
OF the creek Mr.. WaterhOuSe said, ad-
dressing Mr.. Bachmann:
Il hope the gentleman has now got
the idea through his head, and will
permit us to vote for the remainder in
lump, and stop this foolishness."
Mr.. Bachmann-Let the gentleman
vote as he pleases, and I'll vote as
please.
Mr.. Waterhouse-I don't believe the
gentleman will vote as he pleases. He
will vote as he is told. (Applause.)
Mr.. Bachmann..I reserve the right
to vote as l please, and not as l am
told.
The roll was then called for w. E.
Bowers, for assessor, south Of the
creek, and he was also unanimously
elected.
Mr.. Bachmann nominated James X.
Hall for City Collector, and was sec
onded by Mr.. Horkheimer, amid ap-
plause from the gallery. The vote was
unanimous, as before, and was taken
amid laughter, especially when Scally,
d., voted for James K. Hall" The
result, as announced by Mayor
Sweeney, was greeted with applause,
and the chair warned the gallery that
a repetition of the offense would result
in the hall being cleared, whereat Tom
O'Brien laughed.
Mr.. DAVIS was next elected market
master in the Second ward unanim-
ously.
For market master in the Fifth ward
Mr.. Ratcliff nominated Mr.. Blumell.
and Mr.. Killeen named John Nc
Keever, and was applauded. Mr.
Warehouse seconded the nomination
of Mr.. McKeever, making an eloquent
and strong plea for Mr.. McKeever,
amid applause from the gallery, which
was promptly checked by the chair
Mr. Waterhouse suggested if the Re-
publicans were not ready to vote to-
night, to let it go over, and go home
and ask their wives about it.
Mr.. List said he would do anything
he could for John McKeever, aside
from politics, but the Republican
caucus had decided for Mr.. Brumell,
and he was for Brumell.
Mr. Chew said Mr.. Brumell was full
ly as deserving of sympathy as Mr..
McKeever.
The Republicans voted for Brumell
and against the blind man to man,
and the caucus nominee was declared
elected by a party vote, Brumell 70,
McKeever II. No applause greeted
the result, and some of the Republic
ans voted at the crack Of the whip
with evident reluctance.
The remainder of the caucus nom
inees were then put through unanim-
ously. There was a good deal of fun
over the vote for Board of Public
Works, Mr.. Waterhouse wishing the
three members voted for separately,
lest "the members become mixed"
Council decided, by a party vote, IL to
26, to vote for all three at once.
