William Jennings Bryan has sent letter
to H.. II. Hockey thanking him for the

follows: when a political party meets

the candidate has. aside from the ap-

ICE CHARGES DROPPED.
Governor win Not Dismiss Mayer
Van Wyck.

Governor Roosevelt has given ont hrs
decision in the application for the re-
movas from Office OF Mayor Robert A.
Van Wyck of New York city. He de-
clines to remove the mayor on the
grounds that while he was undoubtedly a
stakeholder in the American Ice company
there has been no proof that he willfully
violated the law forbidding public OH
Ger to be a stakeholder in a corporation
having dealings with his municipality.
The governors memorandum says
'.1'he brief presented by Mr. Hayes OF
counsel to The World undated, but re-
ceived in this Office Nov. 20. contains no
additional testimony or indication where
additional testimony can be obtained. The
situation is therefore unchanged from
what it was ON Oct. A, 1900, when the at
torney general wrote his letter to me.
There is therefore, as stated by the at
torney general in his letter of Nov. %,
little to add to what was contained in his
letter Of Oct and in the statement is
sued by me on Nov. IL.
Il concur in the attorney generals opin-
ion. Ny judgment is that the so called ice
trust is not a corporation in which the
mayor Of New York should have stock.
But no proof has been offered Of any will
full violation Of law on the part OF the
mayor such as would justify the drastic
measure of removing him from office. The
power Of removal from Office Of elective
officers should be treated much as we
treat the power Of Impeachment. II Is an
extraordinary and not an ordinary rem
edy
1.-THE normal remedy for bad govern
ment must be an appeal to the people,
and only in wholly exceptional cases is it
desirable to substitute for this appeal to
the people an appeal to the power of re-
moval or the power of impeachment. The
case is therefore dismissed.
