absence OF opposition to the regular candidates
served 10 keep many OF the old campagners out OF
the corridors In recent years the entrance Of the
club on an election night has been about the live

box Then he OF no further use to anybody.
In spite Of the feeling around election time how
ever the members Of the club were always noted
for the rapidty with which they would forget their
electioneer!ng battles as soon as the result had been
announced. As soon the election was over the
members would gather around the festive board
and become as fraternal and brotherly of old.
Ii is possibly this spirit that has made the New

kind in tho country. The only opposition to tho

FIRST CHARTER COMPLICATION.

THE CONTROLLER SEEKS A MANDAMUs TO Sc
CURE QUEENS COUNTY TAX LISTS
The first legal complication affecting the city
charter presented in the Supreme Court yes
terday before Justice DAILY. when Controller Coler
applied for a peremptory writ Of mandamus to
compel Charles L. Phipps. the treasurer OF Queens
County 10 hand over to him Immediately all the
lists now in the respondents possession concerning
all taxes and assessments levied before January l..
1885, on the towns Of Newtown, Flushing and
Jamaica, and that part of the town OF Hampstead
now forming part Of the city. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Blandy who appeared for the Con-
troller. relied Section 9S7 Of the charter. which
provides that all taxes and assessments levied be-
fore January l. 1898. in any OF the municipal
corporations consolidated. including the counties Of
Kings, Richmond and part Of Queens. remaining
unpaid on January !. 1898. shall become due TO cpd
collectable by the city OF New-York. and that the
tax lists shall be deposited with the Controller I'M
mediately nfter January l. 1898.
"Mr Phipps while treating a demand made upon
him by the Controller for these books and papers
In a most courteous manner" said Mr.. Blandy.
has peremptorily refused TO give them up. He
bpsed his refusal on the ground that he Is not
bound to hand then. over, and also on the ground
Of the inconvenience which would be caused to
him II he did Queens County is the only
county concerned in the consolidation not entirely
incorporated In the new city. and Mr.. Phipps as
serts that he cannot conveniently separate the
counts for the incorporated and unincorporated
portions OF the county. The terms Of the charter
are clear and explicit however. and Mr.: Phipps
should not have put us 10 the trouble of coming
here in order TO enable the Controller 10 carry out
the duties imposed on him by the charter"
Townsend Scudder, counsel for Mr. Phipps, ar
eued that as the Office OF County Treasurer OF
Queens was not abolished by the new charter. and
as that official was responsible to the Board OF
Supervsors which also remains in existence, for
the due performance OF his duties. he was bound to
keep the lists of taxes and assessments. except
those which would be collectable this year. in his
possession. -
There is no doubt" replied Mr. Blandy. that
Mr. Phipps will be nconvenienced. but Is this
great city to be still more inconvenienced by his
action? II is easier for him to deposit his papers
in the Office OF the Controller and send his clerks
to go through the books there and apportion tho
assessments than for the Controller to send to his
ofrce in Queens County TO do So"
