Mr.. Bonner had purchased new fixtures,
but they failed to arrive. When he pro-
posed to Mr. Bishop to pay him for the
use of his room and fixtures until the fur

tomorrow, the retiring officer fatty refused
and demanded that the office be removed at
once and the transfer was made. The mail
is piled alphabetically on barrels set about
the room. and the postmaster will get along
until the new fixtures arrive. Public feel
ing is strong against the retiring post
master for his inexcusable refusal to ac-
commodate his successor, who was in no
way responsible for his dismissal.

Nor is even that all. To these officers,
appointed by the mayor, is given the power
of appointing their own subordinates sub
ject to civil-service rules. The personal
composition of almost the entire city gov
eminent will therefore depend on the man
who is chosen mayor by the people on NOV:
q In the words of one of the authors of
the charter, the power and patronage OF
the next mayor of New York will be so
great that il is no eXaggeratiOn TO say
that he WILL in these particulars, be q dig
nitary second only in Importance to the
President of the United States. In addi-
ton to his original power of appointment
of their heads, the mayor will have super
ViSory control over the various depart
nents. He may direct the police In the en-
forcement OF the laws, and in time of tu-
multi or riot he may demand the assistance
of the state militia located within the city.
In addition to his purely executive func-
lions, he has an enlarged veto power on
the acts of the Municipal Assembly, as
well as over those of the subordinate local
boards. Nor should it be forgotten that
under the amended constitution the mayor
of New York exercises a quanned veto
power over legislation relating to this city.
The Legislature, if in session, may pass
the act objected to in spite of the mayors
veto, and the Governor has like power
to disregard ii. but it is nevertheless
substantial addition to the Importance of
the executive head of the Greater New
York that any objections Of his to proposed
legislation will be sure of respectful con-
sderation at Albany.
The city's accounts will be in the hands of
a department independent of the mayor,
and for purposes of honest audit, and ef
fective criticism generally of the details of
ii is manifesty essential that q man of en-
larged experience, resoiute character and
unblenished integrity should be elected to
the Office of controller. But all other prob
lens TO be solved ut the forthcoming cleo
ton are OF secondary Importance beside
that of making wise choice for mayor.
