the ascendency Of our party in the city.
With reference to the candidate for Mayor, although
it Cannot be disguised that during the past year Mr.
Wood has sst the confidence of very large portion
OF the people il has been ssid that ia bis nomination
and election we might interposs an effective pro-
test sgsinst the invasion Of our municipal rights
perpet.ated by the Legislature last Winter. But
this 10 no longer possible. For since MS nomiha

Commissioners, created by the Police act OF 1000 MY
vote was given against that act resisted the ap-
pontment Of Mr.. Draper and his Republican co,
leagues, when MADE by Gov. King, because II seemed
10 me wrorg that the police of 8 Democratic cry
