the approval Of republican managers sboishes the
present Boards Of Aldermen and Councmen elects upon
general ticket and places the choice OF Mayor in the
hands Of tho Aldermen, in other words makes the
President Of tho Board Of Aldermen the Mayor while he
holds that cce. The advocates OF this change urge
upon the ground that the Office OF Mayor will be ncen

members Of the Board OF Aldermen that being the step

wholesome change in municipal senate. The Aldermen

Another class will that the President Of the Cham

Office urge support of that scheme that New York
is essentially mercantile and commercial city, and its
chief heed should be representative man Of the CON-
mercial interests. We have not learned, however,
whether this proposition meets with much favor or not
There will evidently be any number Of propositions,
and the fear is that between them shall fail 70 OBTAIN
the measures OF reform needed.
| THE OFFICES OF STREET COMMISSIONERS AND CITY
INSPECTION.
These departments will also be bone Of contention in
the legislative halls.
The former WILL it is said by the leaders Of the
dominant party be reorganized and the power of ap
ponment taken out Of the hands OF the Mayor and placed
that of the Comptroller. The republicans now, how
ever that they intend to retain the present EN-
cient officer, c. W. Smith; but fear that IL they do
condcsccnd do that much for city they viii
abridge his powers that be win be automaton in Office
and forced 10 carry out their ideas and plans We are
fearful Of this inasmuch the parties who
promise this state that the subordnaes shall be republi
cans There will evidently be Interesting contest
this branch of our city government, and il New York
has another well organized street department
at present, may well consider it a miracle
Tho City Inspectors Office, told by
i prominent republicans, shall also be remodellod.
/ At this session they are evidently determined
to havo the patronage and, power of this
department their hands to furnish places for the
hungry their ranks, but in what precise position
they will place that Office dovelopcment has yet been
| made from which We Can draw conclusion.
