Thejudges of theelection, Peter F. Dooley, Edward Nevins and Charles Streiber were called to be sworn, when Mr. Dooley refused to take the oath till he had his , fees. and Mr. Zook told him to go and sit down, which he did. The other two testified as to the ballots. and espec- ially that. there were no pasters on, When Mr. Knox asked time to file his reply to the general statément of Mr. Zook, Alderman Phillips caused a general laughamongthe spectators who quite filled all the in‘ailahle room of the council chamber, by mov- ing. which was voted, “that Mr. Knox have five minutes time in which to prepare and file his'reply," Of which priviledge he judicially declined to avail himself. s.

The counsel read from these reports at length and quite stunned the aldermeu, who sat as judges Alderman Phillips made commendable efl‘orts to get the“hang" of the technical, legal nomehclziture, and before the trial was over he got so he could use the terms “appellant” and “respondent" with ease and ac- curacy. When the case was called Mr. S. F. Knox, attorney for Mr. St Peter, filed a demurrer. and while that was being considered, he offered, to have Mr. St Peter resign. if Mr. Brand would do the same, or let the council declare the whole election invalid and order a new one, which Mr. Brand declited to do. M-r. 2001; g said his client t‘vas not seeking a seat} in the council, but to enforce pure? legal and honest election methods. E After brief but cogent arguments on : both sides, the demurrer was overâ€" 1 'ruled and the trial proceeded. It l may be well to remark here that 5 both counsel were loaded and prim ed with court decisions of our own‘ and other states. the most " famous l being the Parker vs Orr, 158 Ill. (Will were some 49 of these paster ballots cast, and some few with Mr. St Peter's name written on them, giving him a total vote of 53 to Mr. Brahd's 38 votes; and the judges decla'ted Mr. St Peter elected, and the council for- mally accepted the result and seated him. Then Mr. Brand. through his attorney Mr. Zook. filed a ‘protest, and the trial came 06 Tuesday even- the first ward. Mr. Brand, as our readers remember, was the regular and only nominee along with Mich- ael McCatl'rey for alderman, the for- mer for the long and the latter for , the short term. An efl'ort was made to get Paul Gieser to run against Mr. Brand, but it failed, as Mr. Gieser‘ would not allow the use of his name. Peter F. Dooley entered a ;protest I against Mr. Brand on the .ground, that he was indebted to the city, but! it was easily shown that such wasi not the case. . Election day it was discovered that pester ballots Were being used. with Mr. St Peter’s name on them and the* i l sult was that at the count there: _ re ‘Supreme court says must not be no- were some 49 of these pester ballots : cast, and some few with Mr. St Peter's ’ name written on them, giving him a l total vote of 53 tn “fr Rmnrl'a Rfll Judge Dooley was recalled when Mr. Knox told him he had made a mistake, and should be sworn and then demand his fees which he (lid. “How much are your fees." said Mr. Zook and Mr. Dooley replied “$2.20 lhave been here twice,” and the crowd laughed heartily. Mr. Zook; paid him $1.10, his fee for that one1 night, and Mr. Knox told him to take ,it as he would “be so much ahead," which he did. Mr. Dooley said he noticed there were pasters on some of the ballots as they were handed him to put in the box, which Mr. Zook contended violated the secrecy of the ballot, one of the vital points of the Australian system which our lated. Mr. Dooley said he did not know who wrotethe pasters, or whose hand writing they were in. . The city council met Tuesday evening specially to try the contest- ed aldermanic election case of xSilas P. Brand against Alfred St Peter in the first ward. Mr. Brand, as our readers remember, was the regular and only nominee along with Mich- ael McCatfrey for alderman, the for- mer for the long and the latter for the short term. An efl'ort was made l to get Paul Gieser to run against Mr. l Brand, but it failed, as Mr. Gleser‘ would not allow the use of his name. Peter F. Dooley entered a ;protest E against Mr. Brand on the .ground: that he was indebted to the city, butl it was easily shown that such wasl not the case. I THE BRAND-ST. PETER CONTEST. VOL IV. It was about 11:15 when the coun- cil took. the case and the crowd retir- e 1, some few going down to the clerk's ofiice, some out on the steps [Or a smoke and some w‘nser than the rest went home, for it took the council ‘ William Booth was next called. . gbut would not be sworn till he had a pair of glasses on, which Occasion~ _ :ed some meriment, so he borrowed lSilas Brand's. His testimony was . very positive and several times when ‘ Mr. Knox objected to Mr. Zook's lquestions. Mr. Booth went right straight ahead and answered them, which the crowd enjoyed immensely. He had a pester torn into severhl ‘pieces which he said Thomas Dooley gave him election day and told him to paste it over Mr. Brand's name. He tore up the pester and gave the ipieces to Mr. S. P. Brand who had l kept them till now. He said the Jcross was already marked on the be]- llot when Mr. Dooley gave it to him. which of course would spoil that bal- lot and cast suspicion on the others with pasters. S's: P. Brand testified as to the identity of the torn pieces of the paster, Mr. Booth swore to, and John Rudolph testified briefly. John Stupey was called. and when he demanded his fee that thing was getting too monotonous and Mr. Zook saidto him “You may go." and he went. That finished the testimony as the respondent’s coun- sel rested his case without any testi- mony. The counsel made brief speech- es, restatingthe vital points already made. ‘v. .. and g militr Foi ‘ want imprL i court gestet Judgt need. all th: l us thc provet l Suc l us om E North l public lonce a street. 3 of the never is ope] \ ment. there 5 and t“ And if genera outline want n imriror but thi an imp road at abuttin ‘ by all I L._~,l , Thomas M.
