chagrin that ia felt over the disclosures and the
bitterness that Is manifested toward the man by
whom they were made. Ordinary pru.
dence Is not observed in the execra-
tons that are heaped upon the Governor.
IL is declared that out OF revenge for the opposi-
ton OF the Canal Ring TO his nomination he has
thrown bombshell into che party which must
carry havoc everywhere. Amidst all the chatter
and talk and accusation the Governor himself is
serene and even reticent lie Is as cheerful ap-
parently, as II he had hit only his political enc
mics. 1t is not his fault ia 1t his discredit
tnaJ the republicans have become his champions,
even this being due to the violence OF the opposl.
ton I'm his own party.
TIE sPEAKERs NERVE AND COURAGE.
Speaker MCGUIRE has constituted himself the
leader OF the hostile faction and Whatever may be
said OF the wisdom OF his course ne cannot be &C
cused OF any lack Of nerve or courage He boldly
pursues the line he has marked out Tor himself. and
the Governor could not find more unreenting
envy than the speaker. He throws even his darling
wish OF becoming Attorney General OF the State
into the scales upon this issue, and though IT has
been IA losing game 80 far his friends vow he shall
succeed IN the end And they say, too, that
Sammy T1lden never, never shall be President.
But both he and his friends forget THAT while they
may not succeed In iDjuring Governor 1llden they

they cannot stop the investigations their opposi-
tion Is direct benefit to the republicans Should
the bitterness OF the last few days continue Tor
another week the democratic party OF this State
VIII be hOpelessly di5membered. 1t is this
fact that makes think that calmer
oounsels will prevail and that there will
be compromise, even though such
compromise should involve the sacrifice OF the
devotion OF the House to the Speaker. The Jacobs
resolution, as amended and adopted in the Senate
to-day. IS exactly what the dominant faction in
the Assembly desire. The Lord resolution, prOvld-
ing for a Senate committee to be appointed by the
Lieutenant Governor instead of JOINT committee
with the Speaker to name the members on the
part OF the Assembly. Is the stumbling block. In
passing the one the Senate holds out the olive
branch, but the passage OF the other is an open
declaration oil war. All along 1t has been the pur
pose OF the Assembly to stand by Mr.. Mcclure, but
1t cannot take up the Jacobs resolution and pass
it while the resolution for joint committee
remains Enacted upon in the Senate.
THE ASSEMBLIES DARLING.
Such course would be the sacrifice OF the
AssemDly's own dear darling "sweetey," and this
IL sacrifice for which the Assembly was in no
temper this morning. When the Legislature re.
turns on Monday, IL is possible and even likely
the sacrifice will be made especially the repub-
to block all Legislation for canal investigation by
making the sacrifice their ultimatum. BY the pas
sage OF the two resolutions by the Assembly yes
terday that body is completely at the mercy OF
the republican majority In the Senate, which
offers the Lower House the alternative OF sacrifc.
Ing the Speaker, who is so loved, or compliment
ing the Governor, who Is so hated.
STREET CLEANING.
Mr.. Jacob Hess has introduced Dill which de-
fines more fully the power and duties of the Police
Commissioners IN the matter OF cleaning streets in
the city or New York. Its first section continues
the absolute control OF the work in the hands OF

amended so as to give power to the Board to con-
tract Tor the sale OF all manure and garbage AIKEN
from the streets, on condition that the same shall
be promptly removed, and also to enter into con-
tracts with responsible parties either in separate
districts or for the entire city, for cleaning the
streets. The Board Is also authorized to eXpend
in removing snow and ice such money or any
part OF SUCH sum as shall by competent authority
be appropriated for that purpose. Contracts
under this law must be given to the lowest bid
der, and before opening, sealed proposals shall be
advertised for ten days IN the City Record ana five
other daily papers. 1t is understood that this bl

invest their money. They should not be allowed
