rushed through. only to be followed by an
other break. To-day was one Of the harmony
days. and the Republican mill ground out its
grist by party vote.
The first bill was the shefIleld bill to give the
next Mayor OF New York power to remove and
appoint heads Of departments. This bill came
up a few days ago and was defeated By the
anti Plat Republicans. It was regarded as q
twin m essure to the BIZ partisan Police bill.
Mr.. sulzer objected to bringing up the bill
He said that II had been recommitted to the
Com mittee on Cities. and that the committee
could not report out OF Its order Mr.. Sulzer
was right. but the Speaker overruled him.
Mr.. Ainsworth has been considerably ex-
hausted by his recent efforts to bring about
Republican harmony. He had a bottle Of

Republicans to come together and pass them.
These were the bills to abolish the fees for the

Mr.. SulZer replied that the trouble with Mr..
Ainsworth was that the Repu blicans were not
with him. They did not favor turning over all
the offices In the State to Mr.. Plat. The peo-
pie OF Mr.. Ainsworths own county would not
reflect him next fall because he was too sub
servisnt TO Mr. Plat in the Legislature. and
his constituents were opposed to Piatt Mr..
Ainsworth was mistaken whom he said no one
