are acting as republicans and spurn the Idea that
they are playing into the hands Of the democratic
party. Il they are to be believed they win, in the
end, be found az Bachelor said he would be found

VOTE FOR THE BILL AS A PARTY MEASURE.
This Is undoubtedly the position OF these repub-
leans, and those who are building great hopes OF
the ultimate defeat OF the bill on the stand they
1T to take to day will fnd that they are count
ing without their host. There Is another view
that must be taken OF this demonstration on the
testations as to their determination to stand by
the bill in the long run as q party measure Will
undoubtedly hold good. stil they may prove
being engrafted into 1t which the Custom House
party do not want but which they will nave under

ALBANY, Feb. 25-Evening
AN INFORMAL CAUCUS OF THE PARTY DISCIPLINE
RAMS,
as Batcheler calls the leaders, was held this even
ing at the Oelevan, and 1t was decided that
a cOnciiatory policy should be adopted to-
morrow-indeed, SO cOnclatory that 1t is quite
possible II Batcheller ana his friends should
insist upon changing the appointingpower
feature Of the bill, SO as to give the appoint
ments to the Mayor, subject to the confrma-
ton OF Inc Board OF Aldermen, with an absolute
power OF removal they will meet with but little
opposition; that Is II they act so ugly as to endan-
ger the future prospects OF the party in the city In
an Oflce-hOldng point OF view. The success OF the
Independents will, it is conceded, depend in large
part upon the conduct Of the democrats. They in
tend to act as republicans, but
If THE MINORITY TOMORROW SHOULD MAKE
FACrIOUS FIGHT
and endeavor to take advantage of the stand
Batcheller and his followers have taken they will
drive the latter into an unqualified support OF
everything and anything the leaders want to put
into the bill; The democrats are no fools, how
n OF inf
trality during the discussion which the cons idera
ton or the bill in the Committee of the Whole again
Will be certain to give rise to. 1t is said that the
Speaker tonight as guarantee OF the majority's
good faith in endeav0ring to make the charter
people Of New York, requested Mr.. Mcclure, OF
Schuyler, democrat, to submit reasonable amend
feet it. regardless of party consideratoDs Sis
request was rejected with the reply that the bill
had been declared party Measure even by Batch
be allowed to
SHOULDER THE ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY.
AS | nave said before, the hubbub of to-day will
not by any means endanger the passage of the bill
with the amendments suggested by Mr.. Opdyke in
Committee on Cities, which was SO utterly defeated
during the squabble and with certain other good
amendments, which Batcheller and others win
offer. Tie apparently earnest opposition the
part OF the Batcheler republicans to the bills being
hurried Is very good thing in its way, and will do
the majority more good than harm. People who
have been growing about the way the measure has
been rushed" will be satifed by the demonstra-
ton of to-day, and when the bill Is finally passed
the cry that 1t was whipped through will no longer
be OF any avail. one thing is certain; despite the
opinion OF those who believe that the defeat OF the
leaders this morning indicates opposition to the
bill throughout that the charter will be passed ON
Thursday, or on Friday at the very latest.
The Senate was enivened considerably tonight
by an animated debate on Senator Chatheld's
