O'Brien and William Lumiins, recently appointed ky Mayer Grace, occu? pied neath amotiK the moorhen. For the annual ?lectionof rrc--ident Commissioners Bell and Welch ?H anointed tellers. 'I he member" busied tliein Belv-.'s in wilting tho uamcof their candidate. Mr. Wood took the chair. lV-dueui Walkei took Mr. Wood'sBMt Bad the result was awaited with in? terest, lt vvasaunoiitic-'il that eleven voles were ?ant for Stephen A. Walk* r and ten f"r J. Lthvr.nl BnunioiiH. Mr. Siiniii.iiis and Mr. Clary escorted Mr. Walker to the chair, lu taking his place he said: -KM ll.km kn : I have vsry lillis to say, but In nckuuwl aAglng my tlianks le yon lor Ibis aalilitional courtesy, I B_BB lt not BB a u.ere oouiiilliut'Ul to any llttlo ability 1 Biay huvs nIkiwb.

Lawn nee 1). Kui nan was re-elcrteil e'erk of the Board and John DBTOBporl au fit'ir. Mr. Wood was on his feet with a linell on his tkt?? before any tr) ber business could lie done. HoBfOMOfl a quest ion of privilege respecting B letter lhat had appeared in She Ott* Ht ml from one of the Commissioners re? lating to altair, ot the Board before the Board of Apportionment. Ile continue.I : I rei:ret IO m.ike thia my BODleMBBt duty before the mein!) rs who now appear for tbe -rat time In this llourtl, but the memoir. Mr. Henry Schmitt, who was alto u member of Hie special committee appoiated to meet the Board of Apportionment, lt guilty of o gr HOB tire-, li of Courtesy. Ilclilml Ile- back of tin* eniiiiiilttie he bat -ti 1 tbltiKt absolutely false. A more SylBt?lalOBS or incorrect production ibau tills letter I never reaat. I have never known aiiythii'K ot the kind Ifl my experience In this Hoard. The pretences tor suob action aro like those of Judas Iscariot. Mr. Wood then natl the letter pnhlishfd in 77k City hmm ti, muk lng nuning ooaunonto, It related to an upiuoprialioii of $H,f-(M) asked for mtfl-riiig the sidewalks and wall aruind the .Normal College, ||r. Wood is chairman of the Normal College Ciuu mittee. Mr. Schmitt Hushed under iho attack, hut in reply he saul that he had niven notice that he Bbould make these objections to the anpropiiatu'n, ami he had told Mr. Wood of his intention, asking lum lo remain while ka made his siateine-nt. He had withdrawn from the committee, he said, and as a citizen he had tbe right to attack the request, and ?would do BO ania it it iron necessary. Mr. Wood thought that he eonld only have had such right by ?withdrawing from the Hoard entirely. _ rosolntlon fiom Mr. Wood was adopt d referring the letter of Mr. Schmitt to the Cumuliltee ou Law for coiivc tiou. Mr. Walker's re-election, onr? of the memben of the Hoard remarked, was significant as a defeat of the influence of Maror Grace and of the attempt on his uart to introduce political influence in tho schools, "i'ersoiially," continued the speaker. " there is no geii'leman in the Board better liked than Mr. Blmmona, I (should like to seo hun praat dent of the Hoartl, but Diving to his bnainoM and family connections with Major crace 1 do not think that a more unfortunate choice could be made Utan to elect Mr. Blmmona.' 'Iho present is Mr. Walker's seventh term as president of the Board. JNo other (Hirer has . vcr neld thO position longer than liv e yen-. His pro liouueed o .position to Mayor Grace for Being Ins intiueiiee in the Hoard and the unusual efforts to elect Mr. Simmons made tho result extremely doubtful. -? FAVORING THK Q--___t MUDGE PAlf.
