He said he was against the Eyer
mayer platform, because previous acts
of Egermayer had to undergo chem
| ical analysis" I'VE can't afford to
hitch our chariot to a standard bear
er that we have to clean up
DR.. Jones Replies.
This brought DR.. Jones to his feet
again, and he made little more clear
what Mr.. Elicit was referring to. DR..
Jones said that We had had some ora
tory. and a good deal of wind, in the
meeting and that he desired to reply
| to Mr.. Elicit. Mr.. Egermayer had
been traduced and lied against, that he
| knew as we'll as any one. Stories
have been told against him on the
street, and they had been traced back
to their origin. The acts that had met
with the most objection to some were
those Committed" when Mr.. Egermay-
err was city clerk. Duty had COM
PEELED Egermeyer at times to shut OIL
water from residences of certain poo
pie, because the water rent had not
been paid. II he rightfully inferred,
there were some in the room VINO mao
had the water shut Off from their
premises, and this caused the animos-
ity against Mr.. J1germayer. Mr..
Egermayer collected $4,000 more in wa
ter rents in one year than had ever
been done before, and because ne alo
his duty he thought that he was 10
be commended, not condemned III.
Jones' reference to the animoslty a
gainst Egermayer was taken by those
present to refer to the fact that MI.
Egermayer did shut off the water from
Mr.. Ellett's home, because the latter
did not pay the rent.
DR.. Jones said the Egermayer plat
form answered every purpose of right
thinking people. 1T is an ill-timed
movement he added, "t1 place IN
nomination man on this home pro-
lection platform and II ne is noi.iih-
ated he will surely go down to defeat'
especially when there is announcer az
ready named on similar platlor'h'
CuIIey Not Satisfied.
Mr.. Culley took occasion TO s.,'e
that he was not satisfied WIN .lie i4s
ermayer platform. A saloon man, ne
said, had told him only that Day ina.
the Egermayer platform was sooo
enough for him, and that 1act aiohe
he thought, was sufficient to snow tnat
Egermayer was trying to work poth
ends.
Mr.. Howard then tried to table the
motion to nominate Dickson, put faiieu
by - to 10 votes. Dickson was lheh
nominated IL to 9.
Other Nominations Deferred.
After the nomination of Dickson sew
eral in the room left in disgust. III
cluded among these were DR.. Jones'
Rev. w. H. Pilot. Rev. David Dempster
and DR.. G. L. Gould. Work on the

on city solicitor. This resulted In j. n.
Eeermayer receiving seven votes r..
NJ sutton. five; Warren Howard, one;
G. G. Caswell, one, and George M. Lyon
one. ,.
