FATE OF THE MAYORS NOMINATIONS.

FATE OF THE MAYORS NOMINATIONS.
MIR. FRKNCH BELIEVED TO HAVE no CHANCE4-THE
OUTLOOK FOR THE OTHER NoMINERs. EXCEPT
PERHAPS, Mr.. HISS NOT VERY CHEERfUL-THE
CAMPAIGN AS PLANNED AT GRAMERCY PARK.
City politicians agree that the prospect of
Mr.. Freuch's sitting in the Police Board as
the successor of Mr.. Erhardt is SO slight as
not to be worth taking into account. The dis
position of the Aldermen toward the Mayors
nominations does not soften. and it is not ex-
pected now. that any of them will be con-
filmed tomorrow, except. perhaps, that OF
Mr.. Hess. The asserted influence of Mr.. ILL
den in bringing about some. of these nomlna-
tiOus is still commented upon freely, and Ut is
affirmed that through Police Commissioner
MacLean he is now tTylngIt to capture theStreet
Cleaning Department at a single stroke.
THE ALDERMEN NOT WON OYER.

MAYORS NOMNRES-GRoUNDs OF OPPOSITION.

Aldermen Roberts said Yesterday that the Tam

Tammapy supporters declare open war against III

of Mr. Robinson for the GOveruOrship and hr III

meet with the bitter opposition OF the ram
many Aldermen. OU account OF TINS lntohuOh,
Republican Aldermen find large support among

The situation st the meeting OF the board OF
Aldermen tomorrow is, therefore, not likely
to be different from what it was on the day
the nominations were, first made. 1he bill
before the Legislature reducing the salaries
of city officials. should IL become law before the
nominations are confirmed. would affect the salaries
of the new Commissioners. For that reason vote
will be insisted on tomorrow by some OF the Alder
men Mr. French 'fOT POiite Commissioner, unless
some great change SHOULD take place-nOt anllnprob-
able event with the Board of Aldermen-wlll be re-
jected and the other nominations lad over with the
possible exception of that of Jacob Hess
