There probably never was so much inter-
est taken in any change of administration in
this city as in that of yesterday when the
old Board of Supervisors surrendered the
city government TO the new board.
OF course a complete change of admins
trattsn means the displacement of several
hundred petty officials aud the substitution
of like number of an harmonious political
.eomPloNion. Much of Yesterdays interest
is therefore accounted for by the fact that a
very large percentage Of the multitude that
thronged through the Hobbies, galleries. COM
mittee-rooms, corridors and even the out
side avenues were blooming aspirants, office
seekers and others with political axes to
grind.
No abatement of the interest was notice
able until late in the night, but there were
no outbreaks, no noteworthy bursts of enthu-
siasm; indeed very little of an exciting ma
lure except the ceaseless hum of the pOliti-
cal grindstone and the repeated dull thudS''
of the scimeter as it dropped and dropped
and dropped.
