ECHOES OF CITY POLITICS.
Commissioner MCOlave's Rejection
by the Union League Club.

The exclusiveness OF the Union League Club
IL again demonstrated by the action OF its
Committee Oh Admissions which has refused
TO receive into membership Police Commis-
sioner John McClave.
Commissioner McClave had been on the
waiting list Of the club for four years. He
knew that only true and tried Republicans
nre admitted to the privileges OF the big Club,
but he had been a Republican ever since there
was u Republican party, and he thought his
Republicanism was OF stamp that could not
be questioned for its lack OF Democratic alloy.
The Committee OF Admission thought differ
emily, however, when II took up the applica-
tion OF Mr.. McClave, and voted him too liberal
a Republican to associate with the high
tarifI, dark-dyed politicians OF the Union
League Club. The vote was Ia 10 20.
The rejection OF Mr. McClave Ia believed 70
be the result OF a concerted attack, which, II
is alleged, was led by Charles Watrous.
The Commissioner was charged with hob
nObblng with the Democracy and accepting
favors from It.
His term an Police Commissioner expired
last year, and he was reappolnted by Mayor
Grant, This was construed by members Of
the Union League as confirmation OF the story
that the appointment was the result OF deal
with the Democracy,
The Commission was also accused OF failure
20 support the combination anti-TRmmAny
ticket last Fall.
The negative vote on Ir. McClaves applica-
tiOn was the largest ever known IN the Com
mittec.

boat belonged to Joseph May, OF Thirty
fourth street and North River, who let It
early in the morning to three young men,
who were strangers 10 him.
The captain who picked up the boat told
Neidhart that he saw the collision, but that
no enort was made by those on board the
steamer to rescue the three men, who dlsap-
peared before he could reach them. He was
bound for Newburg and could not stop TO re-
port the case to the police himself, so he
turned the boat over TO Niedhart, who was
out rowing with companion, and they towed
