As neat n piece of political sharp

was successfully "put over” In th<>
common council. Tuesday nighi,
while Aid Field and Thompson, of
[ the Sixth ward, wi-re napping Tle
j fore Aid. Field and rhnnipson came
'to earth. Aid Burton, of the Second

I fact that Field a few minutes later,

I without dissent a resolution up-

This came to light, Thursday

that the Sixth has two nets of elec,

'the next meeting he will move re

Aid Field at the city ball. "And
