Show j Ono of tho hoboes, one of tho Kcarns scrubs, who now has a chair designated to. him in tho City Council Coun-cil chamber, demonstrated himself the other day to bo mOro of an ass and more of a scrub than had hitherto been supposed. Tho aforesaid scrub is ono ot Mr. Kcarns' candidates for the City Council. Ho had a littlo, not very much, money to bet that ho would be again elected to membership In the Council. From whence he obtained this little money wo don't know, further than it was not by work. Ho Is a candidate at this tlmo, but disregarding disregard-ing statutory enactments ho is willing will-ing to make wars and has mado wagers Indirectly on his own chances of election. Ho will lose tho wagers, but that only Indicates how big an idiot ho is. In one of his fits, we shall say of Inebriation and patriotic ardor, ho mado a personal and physical phys-ical attack on a gentleman who had tho temerity to say what he thought to tho larger and moro powerful man. That, however, only shows tho callbro of tho attacking party. The said Councilmnn has no vlslblo moans of subsistence except tho $35 per month ho receives from" tho city ns his remuneration re-muneration for misrepresenting his constituents. On this meagre salary, Truth wculd bo glad to know how tho Councilman In question plays poker every day for stakes greatly beyond tho purse of a man with $35 a month salary; drinks to excess, and lives on tho fat of tho land. Wo would also like to know if It is a fact that tho Councilman referred to offered to vote in favor of tho franchise to tho Utah Light and Railway Co. for a mone tary consideration, and voted against tho measure becauso he could not get his price. Wo would like to know If the Councilman considers his behavior In keeping with tho dignity which Is supposed to adhere to members of such an august body as the Salt Lake City Council? |
