ton Threaten to Resign.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Ind, July 22.-This city
may, within a few days. be compelled to
give up its charter and be left virtually
without a city government. Until last week
the City Council stood five Republicans and
five Democrats, with a Republican mayor.
Republican Councilman Fabe Summers re-
signed and left the city, thus leaving the
Council Democratic by one vote. The Dem
ocrats, who are now in control, will at
tempt tomorrow night to elect a successor
to Summers and to discharge all Repub-
lican city employees and put in their places
Democrats. Less than two years ago the
Council was tie politically. One Repub-
lican councilman was killed in a runaway.
The Democrats proceeded at once to elect
his successor, and then, with the majority,
discharged all Republican employees. This
they seek to do again, but If all reports
be true they will fail. The four remain
ing Republican councilmen may resign
their Offices, thus leaving but five coun-
cilmen in the city. IL requires six members
to constitute a quorum, and without the
quorum they. of course, cannot do any
business If the designations are made
Washington will be without a city govern
ment, and the only relief from the chaotic
state will be action of the State Legis-
lature, which will not convene until 1901.
Republicans declare that they do not pro-
pose ito be held up any longer by greedy
Democrats who take advantage of tragic
deaths and questionable designations -
Washington citizens are much worked up
over this threatened state OF affairs. The
majority of citizens, IL is believed will up
hold the Republicans if they resign.
