at better wages after being fred OF
the police and were never accused

They are men who could get lob

men more attentive TO duty than
those policemen removed to make
room for the present force by the

The charge was made against them
that they would not perform at the

moved from the street committee
after complaint at the surveying
done on South Commercial street
under him as chairman. Then he
was made chairman of the bridge
committee, and also was made chair
man OF the committee on sewers
Those are important committees,
and there was no persecution of Mr..
Gesner by the mayor. The only re-
quest made of the mayor when he
was reelected was that he not keep
Gesner on the head of the street
committee. Citizens requested this.
especially those who were disgusted
at the surveying work done under
him on South Commercial street.
Was this persecution, or was it jus
tice to the people of the city who
wanted grades and sidewalk lines
that could be found twice in the
same place? 1t was simple justice.
Mayor Waters put Alderman Low.
one of the Gesnerites. on the most
important committee of fire and
water, simply because he was noted
as splendid fireman, showing that
he was not factional mayor in any
sense of the word. He gave the Ges-
nerites representation and chairman
ships and was never a factionist.
This kind of weather-beaten fac
tionalism, the rule or ruin style of
Republicanism, put the party out of
business In this city for years and
will do II again. These factional ten
denotes are illustrated by the ma
chine primaries, when II Is remem-
bered that Mr.. Gesner was twice
nominated by one majority, and once
elected that way. That was the way
another Gesnerite was nominated
which proves that they rely on
judges of the primary and election
who keep them posted as to the con-
tents of the ballot boxes. They do
not rely on public approval so much
as counting votes. It is not exactly
counting men in but there are those
who will say they have men who de-
liberately open the ballots and keep
tally on them before they ever go
into the sealed box which is sup
posed to record the will of freemen,
and not the abiect bidding of hired
slaves. | have been in this city for
thirty years and over and I know
every crook of this slippery style OF
statesmen. They cannot fool me al
though they do the public.
