Every Intdication of a Glorious Republican Victory in Olilo. A Few Curions People Attond an Infla- tionist Meeting in Bloomington. LOCAL, IN CENERAL. THE QUO WARDANTO CASK. Tocal Politles kept in out of the rain yester- day. It had lont its last umbrolla to ita ** No Trukt " bartender, and, not baving found enough 1o rodeem tho pledge, Local Politles rtald inwidy a1l day, as many another poor politician aleo did. Bat it was not all owing to the rain, Telegrams from Ottaws wero watched with peculiar avidity all day long, and the nows that tho quo WAITADto caso was ot present under the consid- eration of the Buprome Conrt suemed to quict all tho candidates for city cloctivo ofices. Caa- didates for publio offico aro gonorally illustrions for their want of tucre, and this year's roster 18 no oxception. Many of tho eandidates could wish for no better opportunity than tho quo warrauto easo for takiug a ehort rospite from the hard trinls and tribulations of clectionacring. Thoreforo it was not nstoniehing that overy politician ono mut with on tho strets yosterday was half asleop, or perbaps haif fuli of beor, nor was It sstonishivg to find that thowo whilom candidates had pulled off the raco, and were awaiting tho declsion of tho Supremo Court on tho charter oloction. And thua it was that everv politiciau around town was not running for oflice yostor- day ; bo was meroly looking avar (ha ground and awniting the decision. In view of theso facts spocial sttontion was paid to gleaning uowa abous that great bugaboo of a dootsion, and for that purpone tho city’s lawyera were closely inter- viowed on the subject. It has loug been ru- mored that they intonded to defor tho deeision 18 long a8 possiblo, at loast until after the timo tor the genoral clection, but tho rumor soows to bo falso and oven malicious. The firet of tho 1ity's sextobto that wns visited way MB. MURBAY P, TULEY, vho has just returncd from Ottaws. Meoting tho reporter’s first question as to what tho shances wore for & rogular election this fail, with hia usual good-tumored smilo, he repliod, “Umph | That's somothing no follah cou fiud ot Dut, ealling into recollection vour knowledgo of tho proceadings in the quo warranto case now on hearing beforu the Supromo Court, what do you thigk of the prospocts for o _city olcction ; Dr, perhaps in other words, do “you think 1o deciion will bo given In”time to bold an election on the general election day 7" soutinued tho reporter. : Mr. Tuloy—I candidly think it will, Of courso, a8 to tho prospects for o city olection, you, na n vopresontative of Tue Trinuxe, have your awn opiniona on that point, and I have mine, which I nesd not ropeat. You seo, tho case was openod with short argauments on tho part of tho city's Iawyora yosterday, that is Thursday, Tho argu- monts were limited to thirty miputos, which [ ssgure you is a vory short timo for a questicn of no gront moment. Judgo Dickoy will oluso the argument for tho city, aud then ten days from tho time of the oponing of tho caso are kivon for the purposo of filling amended briefs. Mr. Htorry, 1 bolieve will attond to that part of tho work, and ho expecta to fllo them 1o threo days. T confideutly expoct & comploto decision wit] two woeks at tho farthest. Teporter—Well, would that bo in tima for an eloction on tho goneral elsction day, as pro- seribed by tho old charter 7 5 Mr. Tulay—Most cartainly it would, Roportor—But is il not negoasary to issnea thirty dayn’ notico of tho election? Mr, Taley—No, I think not. The2d of Novem- beris n general eleotion day, snd I think no guestion could ariso in rogard 0 nuy notice. if both partios concede tho fact that nn eloction on that day is absolutely nocoesary (that in if the decision is against tho charter), I thuuk that it will fully sottle tho mattor. It would be foolisk to raiko a quibble on that point. X . Roporter—Following out your lino of argn. moot on that point, do you not think it would be wall to hold an elaction on tho general vlec~ tion day, whether tho decinion is givon by that dsyornot? Incaso of ity buing decided in the nogative, the ofifcera thus elocted would assumeo their positions, and in caso it wont the other way, the officors might rotire to Lumble life without further notico. Mr. Tuley (scratching bis oar)—Oh, wall, there's no need of asking that. ‘Tho aocislon will surely reach hero inside of wo weaks, Alr. Btorrs was next visited, 1o will filo hia anawer in tho arguments eithor Tuesdsy or Weduesday. Doyond this ho had nothing to asy.
