ALBANY, Feb. TO- 1879
Tic friends and opponents Of the new charter
have already begun to arrive in large numbers, and
" Is expected that by tomorrow morning the
ssotels Will have all they can do to accommodate
TIE GREAT ARMY OF PATRIOTS
who have been deputed to be on hand when the
bill Is called up tomorrow In the Assembly. The
custom House ia strongly represented among the
new arrivals and although the dig wire-pulers
who holo their afternoon cOterie In the old Ex-
change building in Wall street have not yet
shown up there Is rumOr anOat that they
will all arrive by the train which gets
here about two in the morning, when
everybody who does not know thing or two
about the plans OF the leaders will be sound
asleep. George Bliss has been quite active at the
New York end Of the line all day, judging from the
number Of dispatches received from him by the
New York members, and has thus 1t is believed, In
IN indirect way, shown loss Of confidence in the
capacity OF his lieutenant, Davenport, as a wire
pulcr. The latter has been here during the past
few days and has made his headquarters IN the
little room back Of the Speakers desk, where he
has endeavored to hold sort Of court but without
success; Tor the members, instead OF sending In
their cards ana then
GOING IN WITH THEIR HATS THEIR HANDS,
have all along waited to be called whenever the
lieutenant wanted to see them. He has been more
shan usually active ttoaa and was sG thus
leared on the Moor OF the House in all the resplcn
dent glory OF new velvet coat and huge gold
watch chain, also said to be new and paid Tor.
Hugh and the Speaker had 1T pl ivate chat
together In q corner OF the Chamber shortly after
his arrival, and the news was soon aterward
spread about that the Republican Central
Committee mad had meeting the evening pre-
CaeS al M Ho wa

Wi IniQ ITO
by which Green, Van Mort and pssficld Smith
were retained rectded and made to read prop
charter will be passed In the Assembly without
being amended in any important particular.
There are those, indeed who claim that even
THE PRESENT APPOINTING POWER FEATURE
OF the bill will be lett untouched, in order to give
the senate plausible excuse for differing with the
this be true 1t VIII fall to the lot OF the Senate to
make the amendment giving the power
power of confirmation to the Mayor instead OF TO
the Board. Tue bill thus amended viii be sent
back to the House, which for the show OF the thing
will not concur 1hen after some powwowing all
aud the bin Will be anay passed as they report IT,
which wl be- OF course, In whatever shape The
kaJers want II. This is the .code OF procedure"
settled upon at present; but 1t may be that by to-
morrow morning certain alterations will have to
be made in the general disposition of the ways and
means at the command OF tho leaders, and then
the roe OF each House will have to be somewhat
CHANGED To SUIT THE SITUATION
u
The rank and file to stand by the party and do any,
ting that the leaders require, the Only trouble
oow which Is considered In anywise serious is the
way the appointing power should be fixed in the
bil as II ~ to be sen: to the Governor. This point
VAN DC settled In secret caucus this evening. II 10
the present appointing power feature at the
Erk OF having the bill vetoed-as 1t certainly win
10 it at all hazards Ii they do stick toi OF
Pho only way the bill can be made "a
Jaw under the circumstances VIII be to
~ do the people outsde OF the Legislature who
licct 10 know all about the combinations in tue
bhe other hand, II the leaders find IL to their
lnterest, present and prospective, to change THE
feature OF the bill by giving the confirmation
power to the Mayor, they VIII give up tho present
wan and at the aame Time make considerable talk
We quite willing 10 DO the right thing by everybody,
&c yardess OF partisanshp. AS said before, the
ei kaces are ten to one IN favor Of the ADOPTION by
the conference committee Of
RIM tPIAN WHICH PUTS The POWER OF coNFrRhA
