REFORM BEATEN
in PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, Pa Feb. 17.-Reform
which has many times gone down to
defeat only to come up again for an
other fight received its hardest blow
in the municipal election here yester-
day when the republican organization
swept the city. Not one reformer was
elected to city councils or to the board
Of magistrates.
The graetest feat of the organization
was the election of men the leaders
had selected for minority representa-
ton on the nagisterial board. Four
teen magistrates were elected, but UNI
der the law no elector could vote for
more than nine, thus giving the minor
Hy parties a chance to choose the
other five. The republican organiza-
lion elected its own nine men by bic
nlajorities, and threw enough votes to
Ave other candidates it had selected
ander the party title Of "Workingmcn's
eague' to elect them also and to de-
.eat the democratic and reform
candidates. Three Of the men ons the
'worlxingmen's9 ticket are democratic
ind had the assistance Of the demo-
.ratic organization.
The republicans re~elected Hugh
Black as receiver Of taxes by d ma
nF4E Of $4,000 over the reform cam
uaate.

If he mad discussed the bridge bill
with any other assemblymen. The
witness said number had spoken
TO him on the subject but when Atty.
Carr asked "who?' Conger mentioned
only one name, Louis Bedell.
Bedell at that time was a member
of the lower house from Orange coun-
ty Conger said BedelHs suggestion
was like Burnetts and had to do with
an amendment to the bridge bin fav
orahIe to the bridge companies. It was
another bridge bin hostile to the bridge
interests which he accused Aids OF
using as club to hold up the AM

that he would like to see J. D.
Rockefeller wrapped in the flames
Of hell" Senator Jeff Davis of

and right off the bat"
The speech was relative to the
effort of Mr.. owen to have passed

be the truth, Senator Davis said

allow to be passed bill which
