They knew that it was a piece of sharp practice which they hadnt brains enough to carry to a bling houses that he would make a clean sweep of it, but it seems that officer is showing partiality and is permitting some of the worst forms Does not to continue unmolested. the chief know that all over the city ere boys playing marbles for keeps?

We have nothing against Mr. Sheets. While he was playing at chief he acted the part well and did good service, hut that is not the question at this time. He was objectionable to a majority of the city council and the minority by a scurvy trick and a strained construction of the law attempted to thrust him down the throats of the majority. It is a pity that Mr. Sheets allowed himself to he made a tool in such a contemptible piece of business, for it was contemptible in all its phases, from start to finish, utterly devoid of sincerity or honesty. Even the quo warranto proceedings were instituted with a view of bulldozing it through the legal tribunal and having only one side of the case presented to the court. The Tribunes holding up to public scorn and derision members of the city council who refused to submit to an illegal and pernicious proceedings is scandalous and should not be tolerated in any decent community. The opposition to Sheets, was characterized as a Mormon move directed by the head of the Mormon church, but as the Gentile Supreme court unanimously held against Mr. Sheets, the Mormon bugaboo, falls to the ground.
