THE NEW LOCAL GOVERNMENT.


CHANGES WHICH ARE TO GO INTO EFrEcr oNA
WEEK FROM ro-DAY-cIrY AND COUNTY on.
FIcERs.
number of changes will take place in the city
government after the lst of January. II the demo
Gratis in the Board of Aldermen should unite and
work in harmony with Mayor Ce oper as the charter
stands at present. large share additional patron
age might be secured. But it is thought likely tnss
the republican legislators at Albany will this winter
endeavor to keep ammany Hall from going to pieces
as a political organization. knowing that by such
course the divisions among democrats in this city
and State best be kept alive. 1t is also exceed
ingiy probable that tho present combination be-
tween the Tamnlany and the republican City Fathers
will be maintained next year-at least during the
session of the Legislature such is the result then
Mayor Cooper's hands will remain tied in the mattel
OF filing departmental and other vacancies. The
ilure in tho early part of the year to confirm GER
tain nominations of republicans sent in to the Alder
men by Mayor Cooper resulted in the deadlock
which still continues. and at the same time broke W
the ant-Tammany-repuolican combination. The
term of Office of Mr.. Allan Campbell. Commissions
of Public Works, will expire the Goth inst. 1t 10
understood that he will be renominated for the
place by Mayor Cooper, but that he cannot be con-
frmed under the present political status. The
Comptroller's term of office. too. expires next No
vember. 1t would be difficult to predict what viii
be the fate Of this official when that date arrives.
This is the only office OF any Importance that Tam
many will control after the LIST OF January All tho
county Offices will be principally in the interest
OF the Irving Hall party which has been recognzed
the regular democratic organization OF this city
since the bolt at Syracuse.
The Offices to be filed now are as follows:-Polics
i'm in Sf
missioner. in place of Jacob Westervelt; Superin-
