ing that Judge Hinkle appoint 8. A.
Mann, reporter on the Chronicle,
in the place of Mr.. Tousley.
The announcement has created con-
siderable opposition and some of the
city hall magnates declare it can
never be. not only because of the
claims of others, but owing to the
fact that the new clerk wanted is
not a resident, or voter in the
state.
II was charged this morning that
Mr.. Tousley's successor had only
been In the state eight months and
was not registered as voter.
Several of the aldermen took up
the matter this morning and will try

and merely to make a place for a
new favorite.
Another OF the ructions between
the mayor and the city hall poll
