Supervisors Appoint One County Engineer
Another Is Made Page.

The supervisors at their monthly meeting on
Monday appointed two more Democrats 70 county
Offices to take the place OF Republicans. The ap-
pointees Eberhard J. Wulf, Of Tarrytown. to
take the place Of County Engineer George R.
Byrne, and Harry Roster, of Yonkers Of
Supervisor Roster, who named page and
librarian to succeed G. Albert Thompson. The
Office OF county engineer pays $500 a year and
expenses while the page gets salary Of $S70
There was no charge of inefficiency against Mr..
Byrne; in fact, it was admitted by the Democrats
that he had made excellent county engineer.
Supervisor Alexander McClelland. Democrat, paid
particularly high compliment TO him when in in
intToducing Mr. Wulff he said that if ne made
only half good a county engineer as Mr. Byrne
the board would have reason to be congratulated.
The point that the Democrats raised against Mr..
Byrne was that county engineer he had had
annually about $200OO0 worth of work and contracts
10 distribute fn connection with building and re-
pairing OF county roads, which in he event OF his
removal would 20 Democratic contractors in
stead of Republicans. The Democrats have been
out Of power IN Westchester long time, and now
that they have succeeded in capturing the Board
of Supervisors by q narrow margin they are not
allowing anything 10 go TO waste In the way Of
public patronage Their programme from the be-
ginning has been to spare no Republican official,
no matter how competent and popular he has been
with the people of the county. Mr.. Byrne Will
remain, however, chief engineer Of the Bronx

LOST BOTH DISTRICTS, YET WON.
Election of J. NJ Richardson as Alderman
Had Unusual Features.

Despite the fact that their candidate was de-
feated in both election districts. the Democrats
elected John NJ Richardson alderman Of the
ID Ward in Yonkers on Tuesday last. To
be defeated in both districts, but yet to have a
winning vote the total, is remarkable.
There were three candidates Richardson,
Democrat; Joseph Hamburger independent and
John Taggart Republican. 1t was a special
election to fill the vacancy created by the resig-
nation of John H. Coyne when he was elected
Mayor. The fight was made principally on the
Coyne administration. and on that line Richard
son was defeated in both districts. Taggart car
ried the 1st District with 153 votes to 106 for
Richardson and 20 for Hamburger. The %
District Hamburger carried with 248 votes to 216
for Richardson and 100 for Taggart This gave
Richardson 322 in the ward. Hamburger S1S and
Taggart 253, majority Of for Richardson.
Now the Democrats are asserting that Rich
ardson's election is an endorsement OF COyne's
administration, ignoring the fact completely
that the Democratic candidate was repudiated
in both districts and that majority of 249 was
recorded against him in the vote, almost
two to one.
