THE "REPUBLICAN'S** EFFORT
TO BULLDOZE MR. TALLEY.
NO ACTION 01 STBEET UABEET.
A Live Louiicl 1 manic Meeting Last Night
-The Third and King News Thief Get«
Hut Upon for its Cheek.
The City Council was called to order last
evening by President Conrad. Nearly all
the members were in their seats and a
goodly number of citizens mostly Interested
in markets, In the lobby. Considerable
confusion was created by a number of mem
bers who stood talking urouud Mr. Smith's
desk.
Clerk Fraim began the reading 0T~the
minutes, when Mr. Quinn rose to a point of
order that the members should pay atten
tion to the reading of tha ruinates or else be
would move that the reading be suspended.
'Hie chair decided the point well takeu, and
the ni«mb»?rfi took their scats, as did also
Mr. Johnson, who had been talking to the
president. Aller the minutes of the Thurs
day night meeting
Quinn occupied Ids time in reading
paper. The minutes of tho Frida,
meeting were begun by the clerk, w
Johnson rose to a point of order to the effect
that-, as Mr. Quinn, thought it well for
members to listen to the reading of the min
utes, he shoud do so and not Imry himself
in a paper.
The chair declared the order well taken
and Mr. Quinn ceased reading.
The petition of the administrators of the
estate of William Brown, deceased, asking
that a rebate of $2.50 for school tax -paid
should he allowed, was reported favorably
and adopted. Mr. Talley explained that
Mr. Brown was a colored man and did not
pay school tax, to which ClcrkFraim added :
"and he's deaf,
Treasurer Pierce reported a balance in the
treasury of $40,005.17. Chief Engineer
Mein tiro reported 34 men at work with a
pay-roll of $350.50. The Street Commissioner
reported 13 men, two double and one single
team at work, with a pay-roll of $$7.&L
Orders for tho two pay-rolls ware then
granted.
Mr. Eastburn stated that he had a number
of petitions of persons objecting to the re
moval of tho street markets but would with
hold them until the proper time.
Mr. Blake then reported that he had a
petition irom residents of Madison street,
asking that the market be removed to that
thoroughfare. lie also stated that the petl
tloners were in favor of having both King
and Madison street« from Front to Sixth set
apart for the market.
The petition was presented for a reading
and after considerable alleged elocutionary
pyrotechnics as to whether all the catneô
should be read, upon the right of objection,
etc., it was read with all the names, about
125 in number.
The petition was then referred to the
proper committee.
By request the contract of the National
Dredging Compauy was extended until
July 1,1883, as the time for completion.
Hugh Morrow and others asked the right
to set 00 feet of curb at the northeast corner
of Ninth and Kirkwood streets. The request
was granted, work to be done under the
direction of the Street Commissioner.
Henry Conner, who had live
on Penn street near Seventh, wanted .water
pipe extended about 100 feet. Petition re
ferred to the Water Committee.
Mr. Quinn presented a resolution restrict
ing the amount of money to be used bjr the
Committee on Sewerage for a preliminary
survey at $50, and moved that it be adopted.
Mr. Talley, as the chairman oi the Sewer
age Committee, said if Council intended to
restrict the committee to $50 It might do so,
but It would immediately receive his resig
nation as chairman. He thought ho was
well enough knowu to bo trusted. He had
been in consultation with two engineers from
New York, and it would take more than $50
to pay their expenses here. It was woll to
have the opinions of persons who knew
about such matters. One of the engiueers,
Robert Herrick, would arrive in this city
next Wednesday and would be takeu by the
Sewerage Committee over the proposed
route to the Delaware. With some people
it was a foregone conclusion that these
sewer matters most be pU6hcd through at
once. The speaker himself had not made
up his mind and would not till ho heard the
reports o 1 the engiueers.
Mr. Quinn said it did not require an engi
neer to tell that the city could not be drained
to tho river. The city had better pay the
experts to keep away. There was a debt
now of $1,500,000 and the sewer business
would increase it considerably. The city
was well drained, and God spilled his drops
over it, boing better work than the Street
Commissioner. He thought it was neces
sary to get water for the use of the city

Mr, Talley replied that Mr. Quinn's re
marks were like poetry, but It wasn't the
water made by God that the Sewerage Com

ley, was not wedded to the system of sewer
age, but having been put upon the commit

Mr. Paynter thought the demands of tho
business men and tax-payers should be no

Board of Health and the Board of Trade
ought to be considered, as they represented
fully as much brains as could bo lomul in

At the coueluelou ol the regular meeting
Mr. Talley arose to a question of privilege,
and created considerable Interest by offering
the following resolution :
Retail'd, That, until farther action be
taken by this Council that the clerk be and
is hereby instructed to withhold all adver
tising as well as printing of every descrip
tlon from the newspaper known as the Daily
or Weekly Republican , and published at the
corner of Third and King streets to this city.
[n explanation of the resolution Mr. Tal
ley stated that William Scott Vernon,one of
the proprietors of the Republican, had called
upon him and the following conversation,
which was read from tho speaker'e notea,
had takeu place :
Mr. Vernon—"Well Mr. Talley I called to
about city advertising."
Mr. Talley—"I am at leisure and teadv to
discuss the matter."
Mr. Vernon—"How la It you give the
printing of the city to the Democratic
papers T"
Mr. Talley—"I did not move to give city

second tho motion. When the Democrats
ftjority I always contended
that in tho matter of city ordinances, which
are laws for the benefit of our city, that
every person should, as lar as Connell could
grant with a degree of economy, be fur
nished with a copy of the ordinance that
they might comply with those laws."
Mr. Vernon—"Did the Democrats do that
when they were in power ?"
Mr. Talley—"No; but I never upheld
them in their c»/urse," and proceeded to cite
what the Republican said and did to get the
printing of the city at that time. "I
always contended that the ordinances should
be printed in the Republican at that time. 11
I were now in favor of printing ordinances
in both the Republican papers, and I am
not, I would lay myself open to Inconsis
tency, a thing I try very hard to avoid. Do
you think the Democrats did right, then—
when they were in the majority Î"
To the latter question Mr. Talley
no reply. If Mr.
amiiuaiivcij Mr. Tally explained that he
had intended to asK why the Rcjmblican ,
after exhausting every fair means to obtain
city printing and failing, had resorted to the
plan of offering a percentage to the clerk
for the same. If he liad replied In the nega
tive Mr. Talley would have asked how he
(Talley) as a champion for his (Vernon's)
rights then would take it from a Democratic
paper now Republican.
Sir. Vernon—"Do you think your course
will make you popular ?"
Mr. Talley—"If I can only obtain
larity at the expense of my integrity
popularity go to the four winds and
h on to integrity B. D. Q."
Mr. Talley then continued that on the day
follow ing the interview the Republican pub
lished an editorial from which the following
was read :
"Wo claim that the ordinances should be
published in the Republican on the ground
of circulation. We have also an additional
claim ou the Republican members of the
Council. The Republican has stood by the
party in adversity as well as prosperity, and
have a right to expect the patronage of
the party. Meu who iguore the claim» of
the Republican for a fair 6hare of the pat
ronage of the city cannot reasonably expect
its support if they should happeu to be can
didates for re-election. * * * *
opposed to the members of the party
committing political suicide or cutting olf
the head in order to get rid of a diseased
limb. The patronage of the party should
be glxcn to members of the party until it is
sboWfi that some other Individual
effectually promote the interests of the city;
in such case we have not one word to say,
but yield the point with the best possible
feeling."
Afterwards Mr. Talley wrote and mailed
the following letter :
Wilmington, Dec. 19, 1882. — Messrs.

Ho had asked fl#r a specific answer and
gotten a genet ai one in the following
editorial :
"We have received a note from a member
of the City Council iuquiriug whether the
lemarks in yesterday's Republican in regard
to tho duties of Councilmen were intended
to apply to him. For his enlightenment wo
will say that they were Intended to apply to
all Republicans who inay favor Democratic
papers at the expense of tfietr own party
papers, and wo believe that the members of
tlie Republican party generally will
sustain us iu this positiou. The party
controlling the patronage of the city
has heretofore given said patron
age to tho city papers which imported
them, aud the same practice will continue
to be followed very generally In the future.
We have never kuowu a man who wished to
bestow patronage on thé opposite papers in

disposition to censure the members of
Council for the adoption of the ordinance In
question, but we think they should correct
the error into which they have fallen and
thus remove all cause of complaint ou the
part of the Republican papers of our city."
Mr. Talley then asked Council If it was
right t]bat such a paper should receive any
of the city printing. The Republican.pat
undertook, he said,'to bulldoze him. T
Neies always said Uwnks for what was given
them, but the Republican party thinks theft
paper ought to fee supported by the party in
power. They came over the bridge to pick
up a light with him, but they would find
that they had waked up the w rong pas

A motion was made by Mr. Moore to in
definitely postpone further consideration of
the resolution, but was lost by a vote of 10
to 13, Messrs, Bailey, Beecher, Eastburn,
Oarrett, Grubb, Miller, Moore, Johnson,
Paynter and Stevenson voting aye, and
Messrs. Abele, Baugh, Blake, Denny, File,

A motion to adopt the resolution was
then lost by a vote of 11 to 12, as follows :
Messrs. Abele, Baugh, Blake, Denny, File,
Menton, McKenna, Newell, Quinn, Shaw
and Talley voted in favor of Its adoption,
and Messrs. Bally, Beecher, Eastburn, Gar

An adjournment was then taked, when
the suggestion was made privately by Mr.

not have brought bis difficulty to Council
but have taken a shingle and gone over and
