CITY POLITiC S
Tho Coming Judiciary and Aldsrmanie Elec-
tions- The Political Situation Among
the Germans

prevailed among the German democrats throughout
the city. They had all hopeI that the knife OF Ex
cssion would be radically applied and thai every
thing In the shape OF ''commi sions" and 'exc ser
woud ut once be swept out OF existence the moment
tnat the democratic bosom OF destructive vengeance
could reach them. Halfway measures they did not
want as they hoped for satisfactory relief nom
them Nor did they want the mere personnel OF the
commissions changed and the whole machinery
thrown into democratic hands; for 1t the system
they opposed and which they had voted to get rid
Oi.
But they had to take wnat the party could accom-
pllsh at Albany, feeling that this the whole ex-
tent OF the reforms attanable. They then settled
down quietly In the belief that, after ALL the best thing
tnat could be done was achieved, ana according TO
the rule that ''halr loaf Is better than bread"
they had even begun to congratulate themselves
on the res oration OF right OF selgovernment to
the people OF this city. Yet again was their equa-
nmity and growing satisfaction disturbed. They
hal expected, in fact they mad been assured, by per-
sons whom they believed TO possess influence with
the "powers that be-" that In the recon-
slruction or the entire city government
the German element would DO recognized
IN the more prominent positions to the full extent OF
its political IN crest and voting strength; and that
but Two out OF The many cOmmissionershlps should
be given to Gernans-one OF Health, to Mr. Magnus
Gross, and one oil Excise, 10 Mr.. Martin Nachman-
grieves them. They ind not blame the source from
whence the appointments proceeded; they 4 t rather
inoInel 70 turn their co piatnLs aga nst their own
leaders, who fai ell to press CLAIMS OF the Gsrnan
element more theoretically, while It ~ known that
