time in connection with his action concerning
the Hucklrterry charter of 1890, the object of
which was To- abolish the State commissions GOV

tanning Aldermanic votes to secure the CON

Mr. Myers says that Croker's three years rae
ing experience in England cost him between
S6uO0No and S5Oo.So. He tells of Croker's nom
ination of Van Wyck against the wishes of the
party. and concerning his action after the eIec-
ton says:
Now that Tammany was re-established in al
most absolute power. Croker set about choosing
the important city officials TO be appointed BY
