pasNSG TWO bills over Mayor McClellan's

the Mayor had disapproved OF. two Of them
having been previously passed over a veto
by the Assembly, The fourth bill passed
over a veto in the Senate was the supple
mental recount bill, which acting Mayor
MCGOWAN sent back with his disapproval.
Both the Senate and the Assembly passed
over the Mayors veto Assemblyman
Dobbs's bill regulating the tour Of duty Of
police matrons at eight hours a day and
Assemblyman Hoey's compelling the city
70 give per diem employees OF the city a
ten days vacation with pay.
BY a vote Of 20 to Is the Senate passed
over the Mayors veto Senator Pages
bill creating a commission, which is 20 he
appointed by the Governor, 10 revise the
Charter OF New York city. This bill and the
supplemental recount bill are TO be passed
over the veto in the Assembly tomorrow
Senator McCarren made a vain but hard
fight in behalf OF Mayor Mcclellan on the
supplemental recount bill. and while Senator
Raines tried 10 show that the Mayor was in
consistent in opposing the supplemental
bill Senator McCarren refused to adm
that there was any merit in the bill. How
ever, the bill was passed over acting Mayor
MCGOWAN s veto by a vote OF 80 10 7, Sena-
tors Boyce, Rensselaer,; McCarren Cullen
and Hasenfug, Brooklyn: Owens and
Mccall, New York. Democrats, and Cassidy
(Rep), Schuyler, voting against such action.
this iii Senator The McManus managed
TO escape going on record He has avoided
going on record on every bill that the Mayor
10 opposed to and which Tammany wants.
He was in the Senat chamber prior TO the
bill being taken up and then disappeared.
After the bill was out OF the way he re-
appeared.
recount bill was designed TO meet the situa-
ton pointed out in the veto to the original
recount bill and he couldn't understand
why it should be vetoed.
Senator McCarren said that Senator
Page would have the Senate believe the
supplemental bill was what the doctor
ordered
hat the doctor ordered. IL is the rotor
, est piece Of legislation that this Legislature
has ever had-this and the original recount
bill. h Governor had to labor with his
conscience to have this bill introduced. he
took up a column and a half the other day
TO show he was right on the original recount
bill, but he knew he was wrong"
Senator Grady charged Mayor Mcclellan
with never wanting and not wanting now a
clear title TO his office.
He would have IL as muddy as possible,
80 long as he can draw a salary as Mayor
OF New York city" the Senator said. This
message was not written by the Acting
Mayor OF New York. for he knows nothing
of the legal terms contained in the message.
IL bears the earmarks and footprints of
the counsel Of the Mayor. We have never
seen the Mayor of New York striving 10
get a clear title TO his office. but we have
seen him resort to every technicality that
the law permits to prevent a recount.
THE assertion that the recount will last
four or Ave years is not 30. IL it we're there
wouldn't be a veto MESA &c here to-day.
The man holding the Office Of Mayor Of New
York isn't anxious to continue his public
career after his term Of office expires
Senator Raines asked Senator McCarren
why the supplemental bill had been vetoed,
inasmuch as it had its origin in the charge
that the Mayor had no chance TO defend
his title no his office in the original bill.
Senator McCarren answered that it was es-
tablishing a bad precedent.
