"A STORMY DAY IN TIE
LOWER HOUSE.
Albany. April 10 SpeciaD.-To-day was a stormy
one In the Assembly. owing TO the feeling OF re-
sentiment which the majority Of the Republican
members still held toward the ten Assembymen
who deserted their party on the vote on the
Sheffield bill, which permits Mayors OF New York
City hereafter to be elected to appoint their own
! heads Of departments The session opened by the
statements of Mr.. Dennston of Monroe and Mr.
| Whittet. of Erie. that they wished II recorded
the journal that If they had been here last night
| they would have voted for the Sheffield bill
| Il glad to that there are some Republ!-
! cans" said Mr.. Answorth, when this announce
ment had been made
| The Chair heartily seconds the statement" said
| Speaker Malby.
The first rollca on the bill introduced by r
J +. Schulz OF Brooklyn. Schulz has voted more
! often with the Democrats than he has with the
Republicans since he came to the Assembly. On
account OF his general reputation the Republicans
do not like him overmuch. and SO. when his bill
announced to-day. there silence as the
names of of the Republican members were
called. Some OF Schuz's Democratic friends evi-
IDENTIFY thought that he being punished for his
cupidity. and thes hustled around among the as
sistant and the frllhedged Democrats and got them
to vote for the bill As it was. the measure failed
by one OF receiving the proper number to pass
the measure finally got majority. and the Speaker
declared II passed.
+. e Clark OF Brooklyn, introduced bill IN
creasing the number of police Justices in that city,
it opposed openly by Mr.. Wray. Clark Is man
Of about the same calibre F. f. Schulz. and he
often Is found voting against his party and with
the Democrats. There was considerable merit IN
Mr. Clark's bill, however. and number or RepuD-
leans helped him with It. il was discovered In
the course Of the argument that Brooklyn. with
1000 900 inhabitants. has only three police JUS
tees This impelled many OF those who otherwise
wonld have voted against Clark 10 support TINS OIL

tended to extend the lines OF the village up TO the
State camp. brought up again to-day an"
was badly defeated. The defeat was mainly cue to
tho efforts Of Colonel George T. Mcclellan. the
president OF the New York Board Of Aldermen. who
has some wealthy friends whose taxes might be
increased should their property be brought "ithih
the village limits.
The bill restoring TO the proper power the APP
pontnert OF the minor officials Of the city OF fon-
kers passed to-day.
