BROATCH STILL INTRIGUING, Beeking Control of the New City Couneil. THE SOLID TWENTY-EIGHT, How Ris Honor Hopes to Secure a Solid Douglas Delegation to the Next Republican State Con- vention, Mayor Broatch has, evor since the city election, devoted most of his time in an ef- fort to organize the new council. In this he 18 said to bo inspired by a thirst for revenge and by a desire to provide for nis frieuds, chiefly the leaders of the solid twenty-eight ‘who went down with him to defeat. For a week a 8 has been fixed up for Mr. Cushing's ratification, and a prominent 1 states that Mr. Broatch's little \a8 met the approval of the mayor- This approval has been brought about, it is said, through the combined efforts of Con Gallagher, Jim Creighton and . D. Cooper, who had a strong leaning toward Broatch before the election, and who are said to have gone over with Broatch to the support of Cushing. Whether that be true or not, this coterio of sore heads have some influence with Cushing. They claim to have the signatures of seven republ and three democractio members of the council, pledeing support to Council- man Davis for president of the council and R. irwin for assistant city attornoy. The combine claims alsn to have the pledges of two demccrats to vote for their slate in case their votes may be needed. It is stated that Mr. C. 5. Monzomery is the choice of ail democratic members for the city attorneyship, Speaking on Cushing said: a movement, the strects, but has, I can come w my personal notice. ither bave I given or ever said to any persor: that I would give my approval to such un arrangement.

Furthermore, L don’t believe they can get that many to stp- port Davis. The names of C. S. Montgom- ery, Charles Ogden and Judge Savage have been meationed for city attorney,” “Montgomery and R. S. Irvin are said to bo the sclection of the J3roatchites for city attorney and assistaut city attorney.” *1 have heard 80, but am not positive that such is the case.” *Do you know that Cushing has promised these fellows anything " *No, nothing sure. Pat Ford deciared that the only support pledged to Broatch and his slute comes from Con Gallagher and Creighton, who are said 1o control Councilmen O'Connor and Cooper, and will force them to vote for Davis, *'I am sure there is not another democratic mem- ber whom they can get. Broatch and his administration were fairly defeated in the republican convention and any democrat who can so far pollute himself as to support him now will, in my opinion, recetve u polite invitation from the party to tender his resig- nation.” *I'he attitude Mayor Broateh has assumed since his aefeat in his attempt to secure a renomination is disgusung,’ said o banker. “Whom does hie expect to sustain him 1n s schemo for reverge! Ho is notthe first man ‘who has been defeated. In ‘his defeat the people have none vther than passing interest, while they are strongly disposed to thwart his schemes which he hoves to carry by means of tho remnants of the *23."" At the banquet which the mayor gave his followers at the Paxton several weeks ago one loud mouthed mortal, one of the most. puffed-up pretenders, occu: pied a great deal of the time in denouncing all men and candidates who were not friends of his honor. When the question was put to perpetuate the organization and continue to fight sololy as Broatch men several people, among whom were C. K. -Coutant and W. 'W. Keysor, objected. The latter was asked if he had attended any of tho recent conclaves of the Broatch cat’s paw. He answered that he had not. ““They do not mvite mé to their councils any more. At the banquet when they an- nounced thoy proposed to continue the fight, Mr. Coutant and 1 said we would have nothing further to do with the matter, We had been Broatch men and stood by him as long as any set of men could be expeeted to stand by a candidate, But Mr. Broat defeated. That ended the fight for me. I can’t see the necessity or wisdom of making a public matter out of a personal affair,” ring control of the council,” “Broatch’s aim is more ext you imagine. He looks beyond the con- trol of city oftices to he gubernatorial chair. 1f he should be able to tiwup with Cushing or secure a majority of the council to oppose him, he would be able to secure a number of strikers in every ward, whose side duty ‘would be to secure a solid delegation for him tothe state convention, Without such a delegation Broatch's aspiration to the guber- natorinl chair would be the veriest kind of foliy.” tho Mayor-clect rd of any such en_rumored on assure you, not An Absolute Cure.

An Important Discussion License Board. Oficer Allen, who took a drink of brandy and Jamaica ginger for a colic while on duty a few days ago, was shightly reprimanded by Mr. Gilbert at a meeting of the board last might. The policeman bought the drink in the Barker hotel. Mr. Gilbert said that it Mr. Allen was the only officer on the force the offense would not be so grave, but here were a hundred policemen ‘who must not, have avy bml examples set them.

In future all colicky policomen must call their sergeant or go 10 a drug store.

Mack at the Grand opera hcuse last night, occasioned much noisy enthusiasm among the specta- tors. It was the usual Christmas weok au- dience in numbers, but it could laugh and applaud just as heartily as though every seat had been occunied. The entertainment is not meritorious as a dramatic attraction, frolic and well ar- ranged nonsense nothing begter has been offered to the patrous of the Grand this s son.

Mr. Andrew Ladg, who is pretty nearly the most supcessful *‘all-round” man of letters of theday, gave a lecture at South Kensington on “How to Fail iu Literature,” saifs'the St. James Ga- zotte. He who woyld fail could not begin too early to naglect his education, and must take good éare not to observe life and literature. To cultivate a bad handwriting was a precaution often overlooked. Those who would court di- saster should be as ignorant as possible, As o matter of style, they should ul\uyl place adverbs after the word “to,” ‘‘Hubert was determined to enorxet- ically ruluw to entangle himself with Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria, i7hea Daby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she erind for Castoria, n she becamo Migs, gho elung to Castoria, u who bad Children, she gave thew Castoria such;” and should use more adjectives than words of all other denominations put together, They should alway or 0dd terms as “‘a beetling nose. should have startling deseriptions, ns “‘the sun sunk in a_cauldron of deathly chaos.” Unusual terms should be put where they would cause the reader the most surprise —ns, for instance, trees around a man's house might be called his “domestic boseage, ctional,” for ““fictitious, was to be distinetly recommended; “all the time"' might be employed for “al- ‘hunl\ of,” for “‘behind,” nnl"(lo he did,” for “‘do as he did.” Re- versing the advice of Cwsar, it might i that he wouid fail must avoid simpl like a sunken reef. He who would fail could not begin better than iz nothing to say.
