E1INENTLY FITTED FOR THE OFFICE.

TO the Editor CT The Tribune.
Sir: have watched with great interest your test
vote for Mayor of greater New-York, and have
been very much pleased to note that a large num-
Der of voters have expressed preference for
George Henry Sargent, who is eminently fitted for
that great office and whose record as business
man and public man is without a flaw.
Mr. Sargent came TO this city when young man,
and has for many years devoted himself indus
triously to the advancement O. the city'S business
and general welfare. AS the head Of one OF the
great manufacturing and jobbing establishments OF
this country he has made his mark upon America 8
Industrial development he never sought for OF
fee nor do know whether he would accept the
him. but I do say that he belongs to the class OF
men from which AbraTn s Hewitt and Wilfam l..
Strong were chosen. He is liberal minded, pro-
Esressive business mama graduate Of Harvard. and
a man who stands very high in the opinion OF this
community. L. l. M

ant Spellman and Patrolmen Peuster

as select council confirms his removal
of them. They will be allowed to keep
their shields until council acts. Last
night Patrolman Charles Perry was
acting as lieutenant in place of Mr..

meet the first part CT next week to
formulate a report for presentation to
council on Thursday night The fol-
lowing are the members of this COM
mittee: Edward James, w. NJ. Finn,
f. H. ClemOns, Thomas j. Coyne and
John ]. Shea.
In order to avoid any complications
the new appointees will not be placed

ratites their appointments. 1t will be
remembered that when this was done

vies and Hockenberry, eX-Patrolmen

them from the time of their removal
until the confirmation OF this removal
by select council.
