Like the courts, they didn't have much to do for a while, but what they did was ver}' well done. The records of the City Council show that the next municipal administration was chosen at a regular election held in the Council House, and was conduct- ed by a "moderator" in the person of Robert L. Campbell. There were no tickets then; those who were deemed most fitting for the respective places were selected and upheld according to the forms of law. It should be added that ver)' few mistakes were made, which once more suggests a contrast; there is a decidedly different state of affairs pre- vailing now, and has been for a long time past. ^.
