RADICAL REFORM OF NEw-YoRk CITY SoNkhNmIN


PROPOSED BY A COUNTRY MEMBER
ALBANY, Feb 3 (speclaD. -Assembyman Martin H.
Smith Of sullivan County, astonshed his 1elow-As-
semblymcn from New York City TO day by introduce
ing tho most important bill In relation to that city
which has been presened this session Described
briefly the bill reduces TO one Commissioner the vai-
ons boards which arc at the head Of the departments
OF Police Docks, Parks, Charities and Correction ana
Taxes and Assessments. But this lessenlng OF the
numbers of Commissioners is to take place gradually
Every Department Commissioner now in Office IS TO
serve out his term, but no successors are 10 10 ap
pointed to them as their terms expire with the ex-
cepton Of those Commissioners, one In each Depart
ment whose terms OF Office the last 10 expire
These survivors to be succeeded by Commissioner
whose term is to be Of the duration as that VI
The Mayor Of NewYork, BY whom ho Is appo'hieu'
II would, therefore, be five six years before Mayor
who Should como into Office would have the appoint
ment Of the single Commissioners the heads of tho
departments mentioned.
IL will be perceived that all OF the city departments
Of New-York with the exception Of the Excise Depart
ment, would thus In five or six years have only
Commissioner each ruling over them. Plainly, who
drcw the bill is copying the charter Of Brooklyn,
which concentrates power In tho hands Of the Mayor
by giving him the right Of appointing the heads of all
the city departments upon coming Into Office. Under
tho NowYOrk system Of giving authority TO Mayor
with term Of only two years to appoint Commission
ers OF departments with terms Of Sax years, 1t is
argued that Mayor actually rules 1t. Is Commits
Slonsrs appointed by various Mayors are governing
tie departments. Tho first section Of Mr. Smiths
bill shows the methods by which the various Com.
,nissoners Of departments are to be dropped until
thers Is only one Commissioners ct the head of each

PORTLAND Ore. Feb. 3-Strong efforts will be made
by the Democrats to carry Oregon and, In fact the
entire Pacific Coast this year. Already tho wires are
working. Oregon will be the first State to vote this
year. on juno 5 a Representative will be chosen to
succeed Blngcr Hermann Repl, who Is now serving
his second term, and a Legislature, which, at It's
meeting in January, 1889, VIII choose the United
Statcs Senator take the place of j. n. Dolph (Rep)
The Administration recognizes the importance OF the
State that will be the first to vote and wants its infu
ence. Local Democrats say, We have tho men
and the money and tho Administration, too" and are
confident Of victory. The Democratic State Central
Committee has called the state Convention to meet in
Pendlcton, April 8.
The Democrats are In power as far as Federal offices
are concerned. They also have the Governor and
state Treasurer and d few minor State Offices Port

1900 majority. Tho rest of the state is Democratic

later Pennoyer Dom), was elected Governor by

Pennoyer carried the state on tho antiC hnese ISSUE
Blaine added California and Nevada to his list. He
Is the only Republican who could do this. Oregon
Will poll G0,00O votes in june and about as many in
November. 1t has three electoral votes; Nevada
three and California seven. That makes thirteen for
the coast With this number assured, the Democracy
could take the chances Indiana.
The Democracy is organizing, something 1t has not
done for several years Last summer Senator German
Of Maryland and other Democratic leaders were here
and gave instructions regarding the best mode Of pro

be a confidential friend of Secretary Villas, visited
Portland, and had conference with Democratic poll
