A CHANGE DESIRABLE.

Mayor Gllroy is not apt to submit to
characterization and impertinence on
the part OF his subordinates in the city
government. When he requires an Off
cial duty 10 be performed by depart
ment over which he possesses the au-
thority OF q chief executive he intends
that IL should he done without evasion
or trickery. He has, had occasion in
more than one instance to call the Park
Commissioners to account, and they
have generally found 1t expedlent to
follow his directions.
For some reason President Clausen has
evinced a disposition to oppose the pub
lie will In relation to the Speedway.
His latest exhibition OF this spirit has
been in his pigheaded determination not

DEMOCRACY MOVING.

The Democratic State Committee will
meet next Thursday at Saratoga to Ak
the day and place for the Democratic
State Convention. Gov. Flower is
already on hand, and II ia expected that
there will be pretty full representation
OF the party at the meeting.
When the Republican State Commit
tee met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel a
few days ago. Boss Plat sprang a mine
which blew the Union League faction
into the air and settled the question OF
admission to the Republican State Con.
Vention. II any portion Of the Union
League Committee obtains recognition
1t will only be by the federation OF Boss
Platt and his Milhollsnders.
The situation In the Democracy Il
much the same as IN the Republican
party. There will be a contest In the
State Convention for the New York seats
by the Grace State Democracy. But
there Will be no attempt to influence
tho Conventions action through the
state Committee. The chances favor a
very peaceful and dovelike time al
Saratoga next Thursday. and much COO.
Ing Instead of quarrelling.
1t Is too early. however. to speculate
