10 positions under municipal as well as
State officers. There has been much specu-
lati0n on this subject recently.

affairs in future, others are not. The
following remarks were uttered yesterday
by q prominent Democratic political
leader of this city:
There is a great disturbance in the
local Democracy over the prosUective ap-

pointments under the incoming State ad
