NEW YORK, July 9.-In accordance
with previous arrangement Gov. II, -
audience at his residence ON Lone Island
'0S'e LAY 20 the representatives Of Tam
I many Hail. the C6uncil of Political Re
!, m and the citizens generally, who left
/ this city the day before, to ask for the re-
moval of Mayor Havemeyer, owing to what
is called his illegal and immoral act in re-
appointing Oliver Charlick and Hugh
Gardne-, convicted police commissioners,
thus in the language OF the aldermen'S res
! oluticns assuming the role of a vindicatOr OF
the victims of the Criminal Court. The
representatives of the Council of Political
Reform said Havemeyer was elected to rep
resent genuine reform, and wooed and won
the termination for Mayor as its avOwed
Representative. TuIe reform is being dis
graeed. 1t became necessary to insist that
whoever flagrantly proves treacherous to
the standard of reformatory government
should himself be condemned.
The Governor seemed deeply interested,
and said very emphatically that the subject
should have his immediate attention, and
that he wOIld act promptly.
Whlie one OF the speakers was making
an argument, 4 dispatch was received that
VOORHEES, and Matzell had been appointed
police commissioners in place of Gardner
and Charlick, resigned. White the dispatch
was reading, the Governor looked at the
ceiling and smiled. Then he gasped, MAT
sell, good gracious, Matzell."
CharIick's Views.
Oliver Charlick says the Mayor has made
demand upon Police Commissioner Dis
brecker for his resignation under a promise
made at the time of his appointment, that,
If any trouble arose he would Iesicn his
commission at five minutes notice at any
time it might be demanded. Charlick also
says that DiSbrecker is not the kind of
man 10 resign, but the Mayor can remove |
him for cause any time. Disbrecker's sup
posed Oilense is that he prevented the re- |
election of Gardner TO the Presidency of |
the Police Board.
Friends of the Mayor say he presents a |
very detected appearance, and that his round |
cheeks are sunken, but Vet maintains his /
savage, defiant look. 1t seems Hugh Gard |
ner is not Excise Commissioner. Both he
and the Mayor realized yesterday that the
Mayor has not the absolute power Of ap-
pointment, and the members Of the Board
Of Aldermen say they will confirm him
when his hair grows gray.
The Dead Lock Broken.
At the meeting of the Police Board to-
lay Commissioner Matzell was elected
President and Commissioner Duyea Treas
lrer, thus removing the dead lock.
A House of Blood.
Yesterday the worimen engaged in de-
the Nathan Mansion on Twenty
bird street, discovered a night shirt covered
With blood secreted behind the dumb
waiter. Il was taken to the Police Central
'ffce this morning, having been claimed
y the police authorities. The name of
Nathan can be distinguished underneath
he collar, though covered with large
'lOtches Of blood. Many persons visited
he discovery during the day, expecting
doubtless that other evidences of crime
would be brought to light, but so far have
,een disappointed.
