MAYOR DAYEY SHAKES THE TREE AND
PLUMS FALL FOR a. FAITHFUL ONES.

Mayor Davey has risen superior to the
govt long enough to finish the list of
his appointments, and the knocks upon
his Office door will now diminish in the
inverse ratio of the number of ap-
pointees to the general population of the
city.
The announcements of the appoint
ments were made at the council meeting
last evening. Illness compelled the
mayor to remain at home and President
Thomas Bryant occupied the chair.
A large amount of routine business
was transacted, but the only incident
occurring out of the ordinary was a
protest by Alderman Mcconnell, who
claimed that while the council has con-
fldence in the mayor, that official seems
to have little confidence in the council.
He believed the mayor should have con-
suited with the councilmen before maxi
ing the appointments. Outside of police
sppo1nteees they were unanimously con-
firmed, however, with the exception that
in few cases several republicans re-
FUSED to vote on the ground that they
knew absolutely nothing about the men
for whom they did not cast their bal
lots.
Would Withdraw the List.
IF you do not vote on the list" said
President Bryant prior to the beginning
of the balloting, Il shall feel in honor
bound to give it back to the mayor.
If he wishes to give you the list he
cam but I WON'T
AS an amendment to a motion to adj
journ, made by Alderman Mcconnell,
Alderman Siebenaler moved that the
council take up the first name for con-
firmation or rejection, the amendment
being adopted.
On police appointees the vote stood 9
to in favor of confirmation, the division
being on party lines, the same as on the
ballot for postponement. The vote was
as follows:
Noes-J. Bryant Congdon, Duggan,
Evans. Kroger, Mcconnell, Manchester.
Total, Z.
Ayes-T. Bryant, Cohen, Day, Demp-
sey, Gleason, Kelly, Mayo, O'Brien, Sic
