Accompaniment Of Cheer-provok-
ing olive-branch oratory-Com-
mittees for the Year Named by the
New Chairman.
Strife anent the reorganization of
common council Is at an end. An
amicable understanding was arrived at
since the last meeting and when the
council convened last night Mr.. Roba-
than, as chairman, and Mr.. Norris, AS
clerk assumed the duties of their re-
spective positions without opposition.
EX-Clerk Lynott was present among
the spectators. EX Chairman Calpin
went way back and sat down.
When Chairman Robathan had rap
ped the meeting to order, Mr.. Calpn
rose to explain the action of himself
and colleagues in giving up the fight.
He said that he and his colleagues
still believed they were right: that
they had effected a legal organization
and that they would win out If the
matter was taken into court. In the
interests of harmony and for the sake
to withdraw from the conflict.
Referring to some threat that came
to Mr.. Calpin's ear that they would be
compelled to submit by physical force,
Mr., Calpin said he considered it an in
suit. They were perfectly honest in
their opinion, he said, that they were
in the right and felt it was a duty not
only to themselves but to their con-
,:sr1,
He concluded by saying that there
was no personal animosty engendered
on his side by the unpleasant events
transpiring since reorganization day,
and himself and his colleagues had the
utmost confidence in the ability and
impartiality of Mr.. Robathan as a pre-
siding officer.
BELIEVED THEM HONEST
Mr.. Robathan replied briefly, saying
it was his firm opinion that Mr.. CAL
pin and his colleagues were honest in
their opinions and that the difference
was an honest one on both sides. He
too could say for the side he led that
there We're no bitter feelings left as Il
legacy of the fight. He asked for the
hearty cooperation of all the members
and trusted that the city would be
greatly benefited by the work they
would do during the coming year.
Mr.. Keller also spoke few words of
the olive branch order, and those of the
newly-elected or reelected Democrats
who had taken the oath from Mr.. CAL
pin came forward smilingly and We're
sworn in again by Chairman Robathan.
There was hearty cheering and many
expressions of a goOd-natured kind at
tendant upon the obsequies of the
hatchet
Mr.. Robathan next had Clerk Norris
read the committees for the coming
year. Fourteen chairmanships went to
Republicans and seven to Democrats.
Albert Lewis and Mr.. Harvey asked to
be not given chairmanships. Two-thirds
of the members of each committee are
Republicans. The committees follow:
