AID. ADAMS made objections to some portions OF the
renor lie was present with the Chairman OF the Com
,tee when thew were before the Mayor and the May
or eynressed himself as wishing to have no clashng
with ibe Board OF Aldermen ID regard to the matter
The Mayor offered that If the Aldermen would submit
six good names, h3 would choose one among them.
Nr RoSsIE said he present at this consultation,
and he Mr. b. never consented to send in more than
one name as the Board could only act on one at time,
lie opposed sending IN six or Twelve names, on. ne MI
of course he would submit. The Mayor wanted the
Democratic to send in these names The Alder,
man Of the Eighth might have consented but ne dld
not They had tried to be Harmonious with the Mayor
but they could not. The reason for not sending in six
names was that certain parties around the Mayor
would make the choice and have the candidate their
own hands, as they had previous oficia lmeanlng
the Street Commissioner, and the members OF the
Common Council would, after the confirmation, be
but also respected his rights. The caucus had
treated with contempt lie respected the office ofMayor
agreed TO send but one man to the Mayor at time.
The three four parties putting up jobs around the
Mayors Office wanted TO put up City Inspector for
their own purposes but he hoped the Board would
stand on their rights.
Mr. TuoNEY said he was present at the consultation
and agreed with the position taken by Mr.. Booe. He
was also present when com nittee presented the
of DIR. Rollins and the Mayor euogized that gentle
man. and said he woud give the name consideration
At the same time the Mayor had the nomination of Mr.
Dimond in an envelope, and sent it in an hour or two
afterward. He should have told them so at the time
The public had taken sides with the Mayor, not prop
erly understanding the subject. In no case had the
Mayor, in sending IN the names he had, consulted the
parties named. Tie orly did so for effect Ii he
wanted to have man appointed, he shoudnform him
beforehand, so that he might make himself known to
the Aldermen for the Aldermen would not confirm any
man who not known TO them.
Mr.. STARR, as one OF the Committee, said he nor
other Republican could sign it, for it too demo-
cratic, and went into unnecessary matters
MIR. BRADLEY thought the position of the Mayor was
envablc, and that he could not have offered lairer
than he did to the Aldermen.
After some party and per- Onal debate and applause
from the immense lobby present, the report of the
Committee was put sni adopted.
A communication was received from the Mayor,
nominating Robert a. Sands IA druggist, formerly AS
sistant Alderman Of the Fourteenth Ward for City
Inspector.
