TEE NEW TAX COMMISSIONERS.

missioners OF Taxes continued unabated all day
yesterday. Comptroller Connolly did not appear at
his ofce during the day, and, OF course no nomina-
tions were made there. Applications In numbers
were made to the ''CheerybIe Brothers'-Messrs
Storrs-Of the Deputy Comptroier's room' Dy
anxious and expectant ofice-seekers and by peril
nacious pressmen but nothing could be elected
further than that there had been no ocial notinca
ton OF any appointments with an emphasis on the
"oifical." Whether Mr. Connolly had really mace
the appointments or not could not be definitely
ascertained until after once hours; but what could
be ascertained was that somebody had made the
appointments, or perhaps several somebodies had
made as many patches Of appOintces. One indivi-
dual, who chad 1t from somebody that knows"
very conhdentially informed few friends that
Creamer had been thrown overheard. and that the
safe men were W. H. King from the Croton Depart
ment), George H. Andrews latey Of Herkimer
county, Nathaniel Sands tof the Citizens Assoeia
one Of the Commissioners s-senator Dreamer He
knew Creamer was sure; he 'saw 1t In the HERALD
yesterday"
Maker Depew had been dropped. There was evil
denty some foundation for the belief that Mr. Depew
commsson AZ he might have been seen Walking up
and down in front OF the Comptroler's oice yester-
day afternoon during the rain Storm, bearing an ex.
''get square'' on somebody. George II. Purser ap'
peared also to be on the anxious seat more unseady
mSs be s passnS M
an out of the Comptroller's offlce. but the
dispenser Of his fate was not to be found:
the day, and not until the ONCE hours had passed
and members OF ''the gang" had gone away TO talk
the matter over did the fact become officially known
that the appointments had been made and that
Messrs T. J. Creamer w. II. King, G. II. Andrews
and Nathaniel Sands had been appointed.
In making these appointments Comptroller Con
nOV has verified the assertions made In the HERALD
OF yesterday-that he would carry out the spirit OF
the law In making the Board non-partlsan and such
as would more for the interests OF the taxpay
ers than the patronage OF the position; and that he
would carefully study the matter and the men before
making public the result Of his deliberations. That
he has done SO may readily be perceived from the
following c0rrespondence:-
