TOYE SEATED
IN CUSACK'S
PLACE
Made a FreehOIder on Party
Line yOte-- WrestIe With
Case Of Dr.. Hicks.

| Twelfth Ward, appointed by Common
Council to fill the vacancy caused by
John Cusack's confinement in the
County Hospital for the Insane, and
against whose seating the Republicans
protested at Thursdays meeting and so
caused a deadlock, received recognition
and got voice and vote at the session
begun late yesterday afternoon, owing
to the fact that the Democrats were in
| the majority.
The first thing they did was to seat
Mr.. Toye. lie was objected to by the
Republicans once more on the former
ground. namely. that no vacancy existed
in the Twelfth Ward because competent
court authority had not passed upon
Mr.. Cusack's lunacy.
The vote TO seat was a partisan one,
all the Republicans, headed by Free
holder Fred l.. Baldwin, who voiced
their objection in motion made by
Mr. Baldwin opposing Toye, and all the
Democrats favoring him. AS Free
holder Hugh Gallagher. of Monfclair.
Republican, went home sick before the
board got together and the Democrats
had drummed up every member. they
had full sway.

turned over to the committee on co,,ntv
hospitals. which is to report at a special
board meeting next Monday at 8 d. m.
| Freeholder Frank n. Ward. of the
committee. said that "to riyne DIR. Hicks

would come back wiser and be OF
greater value To the county. He offered
