age between the Republicans and the followers
OF Antl-Tammany. II certain OF tho Rcpubli-
can leaders are to be believed tho bargain had
been made. and each side had its part to do in
carrying IL out. The Republicans In the Legis.
ature were to rush through the measures TO
turn out tho Tammany officials. and the Mayor
was to appoint ap acceptable Republican to tho
vacancy in tho Polco Board in place OF Com
missioner Erhardt Mr.. Strahan. In putting
through the Assembly the act reorRanizng tho
Fire Department. gave an earnest OF tho
good faith Of the Republican conspr-
ators as far rs II went. But to guard
against bad faith on the other side. tho
