Have Filed Their Bonds.
Mayor Taylor and all of the com
missiOners and City Attorney Daley
have qualified and filed their bonds
as required by the charter. The
others appointed will doubtless do
so as soon as possible. They will
assume their offices upon qualifying
Angered because their services
during the recent campaign in be-
half of Charles It. Taylor for mayor
were not recognized when the plums
were distributed, the committee of
forty" is on the warpath, and shouts
din
There is a rift in the lutte and
the sweet bells are out of tune.
The boys who planned and carried
on the fight for the gentleman who
now sits calmly on the municipal
throne are 'madder than wet
hen," all because they were not
given seats at the pie counter. Ben
jamin Williams is sore, Eli KlugherZ
who didn't get there Ellis an
cry. and Ole Andengaard would have
been pleased with the appointment
of Mr.. Williams, but this morning
Mr.. Andengaard was appointed to
a position on the force. He will
no more.
But there are those who did not
get to the trough whose love for the
gentleman with the cherub-like
countenance is now changed to
something that would make sweet
milk curdle, and instead of sound
ing the tom toms i'm his behalf they
are kissing the word revenge"
through their teeth Their merry
meetings ARE changed TO scowls and
their delightful measures to dread
full marches.
Organized the Campaign.
Ii is no secret that Bennett Will
liams and Ole Andengaard organized
the campaign for Mr.. Taylor and
circulated his petition. They work
ed like beavers long before and after
the primaries. They marshalled their
forces and organized a committee
in every precinct. They were on
the firing line from early morn un-
til late at night. After the votes
were counted and it was learned
that Mr.. Taylor was successful, Ben
nett Williams and Eli Klugherz an
nOunced themselves as candidates
for chief of police. Mr.. Klugherz
peddled a petition about the city and
many people attached their names
10 it, This petition was presented
to MayOrelect Taylor, who received
the document with Chesterfeldian
politeness that made KlugherZ think
he had a leadpipe cinch on the
position, and Taylor tucked it away
in pigeonhole of his desk Mean
while the friends of both Williams
and Klugherz were busy
! Kitchen Cabinet Settles Matter.
After all this fussing nothing
came across to either Williams or
Eli Meanwhile John DOnahue look
ed pleasant. During the campaign
he smiled serenely, and was busy
negotiating for livery stable. A
few days ago he let it be known
10 several of his friends that he
would not object to again being
placed at the head of the police de-
partment. On Sunday the mayors
kitchen cabinet" made up of sew
eral gentlemen of obese proper
tions, met and decided that Mr. Don
ahue should be put back on the
job. The mayor was agreeable.
During yesterday there was con
siderable skirmishing on the part of
friends of Williams and KlugherZ.
If neither of these gentlemen could
have the position of chief, they
were anxious for the rentention of
George Pond. Delegations visited
the mayor with the request that he
keep Mr.. Pond at the head of the
department, but there was nothing
doing" The decree of the kitchen
cabinet" was final
! Puts in a Denial.
/ 1t is reported that Ole Anden
! gard was offered the position OF
night desk sergeant, but this story
! is denied by Mr.. Andengaard 1t is
said that Louis Lille, who recently
disposed of his saloon, was an ap-
plicant for the place.
! One of the prominent members
/ of the committee of forty" is said
| to be out of pocket more than $40
and he is now consulting q seer with
view to finding out by what
means he can make good" on the
deficiency.
Meanwhile applicants for space al
the mayors trough must get the
o. k of the kitchen cabinet If they
would be successful.

During the star-chamber session
of the commissioners yesterday aft
