 The assembly organized by electing Hamilton Fish speaker and then Private Secretary Cole appeared with the annual message.
 The message. when read. was found to contain the nomination of Dr. Alvah H. Duty of New York for health officer of the port. Senator Pound said:
 As thero is no Republican member from New York. and have known Dr. Doty for some time, move his immediate con .irmaI ion. "
 Senator Cantor said: "Of course we know that the Republican party has de- cided that to the victor belongs the spells, and that they belong to them at once I am not going to put any obstacles in the way of the Republican party. but will aid in relieving the governor from pressure. " Senator O Connor answered that whilo he did not believe in sudden confirmation, he believed this was necessary. Dr. Jenkins was a good health officer. but there were plenty of competent Republic ans to fill all offices in the state. He did not notice that the Democrats left Repub- Ii, ans in office.
 senator Guy said he would vote for MT. Doty because the Republican party needed 0 medical adviser.
 senator O'Connor-Ob, no. It's down where my friend resides that they want to have a medical adviser. Nominations Confirmed.

 Mir Lexow moved to immediately dis charge the committee and pass tho resolu- | tion. The report would make about 3, 900 pages and would cost only $4, 900 or $5, 900. It was important, and the people did not care how much it would cost.
 Senator Guy hoped the resolution would be adopted. It was a well known fact that the testimony would show chat all of the trouble was due to the bipartisan police board.
 Senator Lexow-wil the senator deny that the wickedness and disgrace occurred since the Democrats and the Democratic organization got charge of the city officesf
