The combination made last fall by the
Rcnublicans and the anti-Tammany Demo-
Gratis which resulted in the defeat OF John
Kclly's party at the polls. was broken Yesterday
by tho Republicans. The first result OF the new
bargain between the Republicans and Tam
many Hall was the confirmation OF the Repub- !
lean nominations Of Mayor Cooper and the re- |
lection Of his Democratic nominees. The |
rumor that n decker had been made attracted |
great crowd to the Common Councils chamber. |
The seats and every foot OF standing room /
within the circle were occupied by ward poll /
u,ians most OF whom were Of tho Republican |
stripe and the gallery wns filed by thcir un-
derstrappcrs. and by men who were admitted
by ticket to applaud the speeches Of the City
Hal statesmen.
Matthew Stewart who is one of Con. Arthur's
Aldermen was called to tho chair. and eN-
Wcishcr Johnny O'Bricn sat by his side 70 see
that none OF his rulings were opposed to the
interests Of tho new combination Alderman
Morris was master of ceremonies. He moved
totake up the Mayors messages nominating
candidates for Police Commissioner and for
other Offices. Mr.. Hyatt. an anti-Tnmmany
Alderman. objected but was promptly ruled
out Of order by Chairman Stewart and his
prompter The motion to take from the table
was thereupon carried. Then Mr. Morris moved
the confirmation Of stephen Il. French the
nominee for Police Commissioner.
Alderman Jacobus. who. although no is Re-
puilican. refused TO be bound by the orders OF
the leaders OF his party. moved to reject the
nomination But Col. Roberts, spokesmen for
John KeIy's nine Aldermen. said that the mo-
ton was unparlinmentary. and Capt. Stewart.
the Repubcan Chairman. and his assistant.
ruled II out OF order. Then several anti-Tam-
many Aldermen arose to speak on tho motion
OF Mr.. Morris but Chairman Stewart and his
prompter ruled that motion to confirm nomi-
nee for Office was not debatable. and ordered the
clerk TO call the roll.
When the name OF Nicholas Haughton. an
Anti-Tammany Alderman. was called. he asked
to be excused from voting. and gave his rca-
sons. "Ishould be gadto vote for Mr.. French" "
