The impression prevailed among shrewd politicians
yesterday, without regard to party Affiliations, that
William NJ WINS had done neat piece Of work when
he dropped HIS resignation upon Mayor Grant several
weeks before tho latter had things ready for filing the

but the Mayor ia ready for It yet and there seems
to be difficulty in arranging matters In satisfactory

The Mayor remained out of tho city all day yes
