Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND FELLow-DEMocRATs: After the
very exhaustive and complete exposition OF National

Now gentlemen regard % these municipal questions,
1 will only this: We have heard great deal anout
reform, aud have heard great deal about the work
ngs of city government Men have attributed the
evils under which we have suffered to one ca-e ana an
other Now let say that for part believe those
evils be attribuedto the fact that we have had
much special hsa,l4h ahg noTs I' ,g Inv cam
emen, have had charter alter charter passed We
have had after act passed, until now when public
official sits down to the law, to ascertain what
his duties he has TO wade through piles OF charter
it ia very difficult for him TO determine what those
powers are. 800 -, ., - -,.-,,
Now, gentlemen, my idea Is this that all this should
be simDied; that there should be such amendments
made 10 the charter Of the city that all the powers Of
every officer connected with the city government eau DC
read and can be seen At glance 50 that when a man
takes the charter OF NewYork City aud wishes 10 aseer
tain what his duties public officer he may hud
them IN the charter, aud not DO Obliged 70 20 10 any
other law or to any other source 20 a'eefSi nSI
which we have suffered is special legislation and re-
peat IT, Year after year, under preteuss OIL passing
levy amendments have been mace 10 the enaIteI 80
that upon looking at the charter without having tla
duty aud what the power OF public officer was
TRUE AND BOGUS MUNICIPAL REFoRMERs
Gentlemen if we simplify this at once II We reduce
organic laws simple and comprehensive shape aud II
we put and square men IN Office, the CITY oil New

care OF herself, and prospecting and to prosper.

At the conclusion OF Mr. Lawrences remarks, the Hon
James Brooks was introduced, and delivered short adj
dress Referring the of George ~ Heinrich by
Commissioner Davenport he condemned IL as utterly
Illegal stating that as member OF Congress when the
act as passed he knew such intention 10
confer power upon any official to violate the sancy OF
mans home or to ask impertinent questions-actons
only worthy of yrants. For his part he deed the Mar
shals and would not permit them to intrude upon
him in such a manner with IMMUNITY. Ia
