ALBANY. April 10 The Assembly
has passed the Sheffield bill giving the
coming Mayors OF New York the power
to remove and appoint heads OF city
departments
when the bill came up on motion
OF Mr.. Alnsworth a call OF the House
was ordered.
Mr. Ainswor.h then addressed the
House in favor Of the bill. He said this
was one of series OF bills introduced
during the session for the purpose of
purifying the government OF the city
OF New York. He made an earnest APP
peal to his Republican colleagues to close
up their ranks and give the bill their
earnest and united support. He warned
them against the Establishments OF the
eloquent leader of the minority. MIR.
Sulzer, who. he said by his personal
magnetism and eloquent address, had
day after day induced one or more
Republicans to vote for Democratic
measures or against Republican ones.
Mr.. Ainsworth called attention to the
fact that no member of Tammany Hall
forgot his allegiance to his party or
ganization. When 1t comes to n aues..
ton Of party. they are always on deck,
AS the rock of Gibraltcr, presenting II

above all. 1t would give the people II
