Old Capt. Stanley, who lives down In the mid

the expense Of some OF the brethren. Mnny
years a3o they were not so conspicuo,1sly ortho-

"tho brethren down ln my region were abnut

requests.

THE MAYORS NOMINATIONS.

The statement that to-day Mayor Grace, at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen, will withdraw
his nominations for various positions under the
city government was yesterday pronounced by the
Mayor to be without foundation. IL have never
thought of such thing" he said to "a reporter OF
The TRIBUNE. 1.-THE nominations rest with the
Board of Aldermen to confirm or reject"
The nominees at the present time follows
For City Chamberlain, j. Nelson Tappan Crammany);
Police Commissioner, James Matthews (Tammany)
Fire Commissioner, Henry ID. Purroy (Tammany)
pendent) Park Commissioner, William Nj. Olliffe
New-York County Democracy; Dock Commissioner.
John r. VOorhis (New-YOrk County Democracy (;
Commissioner of Charities and Correction, Henry
III. Porter Irving Hall Democracy: Health Com
missioner DIR. WoOlsey johnson independently A
good deal of curiosity is evinced by the politicians
tn know whom the Mayor will nominate for Com
missioner of Jurors i'll place of Thomas Dunlap.
The latter has received the recommendation of a
considerable number of judges and lawyers. The
chances however, that the position will be con-
to equaiiz it with Tamnany Hail. which has been
given three of the best nominations. If this is
finally done, the chances favor the nomination of
George Caulfed. The Mayor keeps his own counsel
with reference to this position. 1t is not by any
means certain that he has made up his mind whom
he will nominate.
1t is very unlikely that the Aldermen will confirm
any nominations to-day. The object of the meeting
is to take action concerning the Leroy Street Pier.
The Aldermen will probably pass over the Mayors
veto their resolution providing that this pier shall
by the business community generally. There are
several ordinances also to be passed providing for
the laying of Croton water-pipes i'll several of the
uptown streets.
