Distressed Democrats.

As Joseph L. Carpenters term in the
Board OF Street and Sewer Commits.
sioners will expire to-day and Col,
Enoch Moore will step Into his place
tomorrow, the Democratic friends OF
MIR. Carpenter arc In q terribly pertnrD.
ed state OF mind over the change. II
was expected that long ago two add.
tional democrats would have been
added TO the Board and Mr.. Carpen-
tor term extended, but the Legisla.
ture for some cause has been tardy In
obeying the behests of Dlckey, Nearv
and Callahan and the desired change
has not been made.
1t turns out now that u t.s.s chobps
had been nude, Callahan was to have
been made secretary of the. DEPART
ment and Harvey j. Wiley was to have
been ousted. This plan having failed
the next move was TO have Street and
Sewer Com III lssion, consisting OF two
Republicans and two Democrats. To
effect this, desperate effort Ia being
made to get Mr.. Carpenter appointed
as the fourth member with the expeo.
talon that he could influence MIR.
Gawthrop TO vote for Callahan.
All day yesterday Street Commits
sioner McCloskey and Plumbing In.
spector Kane kept the Departments
horse and carriage going In getting
signatures TO position to have Mr.
Carpenter appointed. The work is
still going on to day, but Mr.. Kane,
rather disguised with the poor suo-
cess he net with. has given up the
lob. In his place, however, Secretary
Wiley himself is ont trying to obtain
signatures for MIR. Carpenter's ap.
poiatment. not knowing that be Il
sharpening the Gulllotine that 10 to

for Mr.. Callahan. One thing Is certain
the Democrats are In sore distress.
