against the plain people. The charter
was somewhat sweeping in the power
given to the mayor, and under its pro
visions vice would have been greatly
restrained. 1t is a significant fact,
that in the resident wards large ma

while in the lower districts and the

also significant fact that the Times.
Republican and News favored the
charter, while the Post was against
it.
That there was almost unparalleled

vestigate the charges Of fraudulent
registration The Judge declined 70
take this unusual step until positive
evidence of the frauds had been sub,

guard while the latter are on duty in
the field. The attorneys also advised
against summuning 9 posse comitatus
