This is the slate, as 1t was fixed by
the democratic majority in the coun-
ell, who held a final caucus in the
council chamber last night, and settled
all differences among themselves, and
the appointments will be made to-
night at the first regular meeting of
the new council.
For the past few weeks the demo-
cratic aldermen, who compose the
majority of the new council, have
been deadloeked over the city APP
pointments, because of a disagree
ment as to who should receive the ap-
pointment of collector of revenue.
Alderman-st-Large Voorhees,, and
Alderman B. M. Cannon were in
favor of Richard E. White, while AL
derman Dalton and Garland wanted
Cornelius Convery named.
A meeting of the democratic alder
men was called yesterday morning
but no agreement was reached fand
the caucus ended in vain. Another
caucus was held last night, with the
above result
The meeting was called to order
at about O'Clock and it is under
stood that Aldermen Garland and
Dalton, after some argument, said
that they were willing to compromise,
and that they would withdraw the
name of Cornelius Convery, as coll
lector Of revenue, If they were al
lowed to name him for city treasurer
G. G. Hommann, who is to be ap-
pointed city attorney, by the new
council, has held over in that Office
since the last democratic victory in
this city, although the outgoing re-
