6e immediately arrived ~ nae hssh ultan s
saeen,snasn. OF pab:c Works can be appointed
ins canals suffering for of that direct
needed for their prompt thorough and economical ad.
ministraton during the season just before us.
Tho suggestion here contained, 1t would seem, had
not been lost tho Governor, who, OF course, saw
1t before it was presented to the Senate Tor In the
secret session. which was one the features of this
morning, he had ready for presentation, through
Senator st. John, another name, IN anticipation OF
Mr.. Magonc's rejection. The secret session
short one, and Mr. Magone was promptly rejected by
a strictly party vote OF Is 10 H. No sooner
had this vote becn announced than Senator St
Johu offered u comm unicaton from the Governor,
which the clerk read. II contained the name of Mr..
Benjamin S. W. Clark, Of Malone who nominated,
vice Magonc rejected In this tho Governor
plainly showed that he had hope of Mr..
Magono's Confirmation and some severe criticism.
has been INDUCED in here to-day the of form
and ceremony shown in tho last nomination. Tho
Senate had informed the Governor OF its action
on tho name OF Mr. Magone, aud the presenting of
new nomination at the same executive session Is
criticised as little hasty.
NOMINEE.
Mr.. Clark, the new nominee, is man In middle
life resident IF Malone, tho same town from whioh
Mr. Magone halls, has been identified for many years
with the prisons of the State in official capacity, Is
now the president OF bank at Malone and Will prob
ably be confirmed by sufficient number Of republican
Senators to make with the democrats majority. Hc
was spoken OF for tho position long before Fairchd
was nominated. The deadlock now seems to be over,
and Commissioner of Public Works looms up as
reality In the ncar future.
