Show GIST OF POLITICAL GOSSIP Councilman Martin, explaining his voto on tho resolution of Councilman Black, which authorized several of tho heads of departments of tho city tp employ their subordinates, Insisted that he refused to be persuaded that a man who works by tho day or by tho month and who may be discharged at any tlmo. is an officer. If not an officer, then ho held that tho contention con-tention of tho Mayor that tho appointments appoint-ments or employment of these men. Is mero buncomb. Councilman Martin reasoned well. Tho Insistence of the Muyor Is not indorsed by thoughtful persons anywhoro. To hold that a day or month laborer Is an official of the city, is clap-trap and Mayor Morris deserves that no dignity bo shown to him as tho city s cxecutlvo so long as ho Insists In-sists on parading himself In tho light ho has been for the past four weeks. 4 It has been announced that tho Populists Popu-lists havo had a meeting In somo dark apartment and have determined to "go It alone." They may resolve all right, but It Is very certain that if thoy hit on some fetching campaign issue something that will bo attractive to a considerable number num-ber of malcontents that they will not bo permitted to control that Issue. Tho Democracy needs something of that kind In its business and if It develops and tho Populists will not glvo It us, thoro Is a strong probability that tho PopuplJsts will havo plonty of reason to feel that as an organization it is difficult to bo oxoluslve Thoy may "go It alone," but that depends.
