THE NEW CITY CHARTER
List Of the New Administrators.

For some time it has been known within the
inner circles Of Radicaism that w. P. Kellogg
intended to sign the new City Charter
which was ~sed by him through his Legs-
latiye menagerie at its last session, for the ex-
press purpose Of giving him the control of the
city affairs in the fall elections and during his
term OF usurpation.
He has at various times denied any inte,l-
ton Of gning this bill, but everybody who
knew William. knew that that was just the
reason he would probably sign it. Some of
Williams Office holders and pensioners have
contended that he would never sign it because
it would be parep11i'ican indeed it would be
| taking away from the people, in the most I'M
pardonabe ana outrageous way, their rioht
TO elect their own officers, and that he would
be afraid OF the consequences.
Poor. blind infatuated mortals what does
the most alrlnt asulper ever put by bayollets
over people care for Republcansm What
does he care tor the consequences, So long as
he is sustained by Federal guns and the peo-
pie here are held in subsection.
Why, it is'len4,4se ii is un-republcan, Jeea,sse
il is subyersive ot the theory that the people
h We any rights. that he does it and that he
will be sustained in it,
The people should understand that this bill
is an emanation # kellosg's BRAIN that he
planned it, had il Drawn up and caused it to
be passed through his Legislature, with the
deliberate purpose of preventing the people
OF this city fr"ln having an opportunity to
elect their own rulers. Below we give list
of those who xa learn have been selected by
Kellogg to represent him and misrepresent
the people in The c5ty government

mittee last Wednesday that he was the agent
in getting up the celebrated tripartite agree
ment of 1872 between Beecher, Bowen and
Tilton, and intimated that Hlton was finally
induced to sign it on condition that the
amount due him from Bowen be paid to him,
and while the negotiation was pending Tilton
stated explicitly to Wilkinson that the only
wrong Beecher ever did him was to address
direct question he secuted the idea Of graver
injury, declared that such reports must have
originated in a morbid imagination, and de
MED that he ever said there was anything
criminal in Beechers conduct Il
