Mcclellan His Own Boss Now.

Mayor Mcclellan s appointments are
evidence that he has had serious fall
ing out with the boss Of Tammany Hall.
He has turned down most Of Murphy's
nominations and put in a new lot of men
whose names are suggestive Of reform.
Mayor Mcclellan is entering upon a
four-year term by the grace of the court
of appeals. It is entirely probable that
he was not elected last November and
that Mr.. Hearst was, but the court of
appeals found the law to be such as to
prohibit a recount Of the ballots. It de-
clared in effect that even if there had
been fraud it could not be corrected
under the law by reopening the boxes,
recounting the votes and compelling the
election commissioners to certify to an
other result.
Mayor Mcclellan accepts the office
under these conditions and he had be-
fore him the alternatives Of defying the
public disapproval of Murphyism by
continuing the partnership or Of try
ing to show the people that he is capa-
BILE of being better mayor and a
Drawer man. He has chosen the lat.
ter and the wiser course.

NEW YEAR REFLECTIONS.


The year Is drawing TO a close, -,
The hand of Time once more has run q.
Its fatal round, and dimly glows -
The last ray of the setting sun.
Some we have loved, the fairest forms,
Lie still and cold the turf below
AS summer flowers, by winter storms,
Lie buried meath the mounds of snow.
We knew them, loved them when the year,
Newb born, began it's hurried flight;
Their memory only greets US here
The Old Years dying night.
Some passed away with summers bloom,
Some dropped as autumns step drew near,
Some sleep within chill winters tomb
Alas, how few are here
But, bark! All, tits the tolling bell
That sounds afar its midnight chime;
. To US tits. but a passing knell -
OF Loves sweet summertime.
But not for all doth it so ring
Tho we are Borrowing and sad.
The passing of the year doth bring
Joys that will make the millions glad.
