II was explained that the question of
cxpcliug Mcssrs. Burke. Nadcrlin.
Fitzhugh aud Schoubeck had been re-
fcrrcd to- the County Committee by
the Executive Committee. Alderman
Mclnerrey then arose to explain that

controversy will he referred to the pco
pie who will elect the successors to
those now In office ut the next Demo-
