MCARREN'SMEN BEATEN
T1MMANY GETS HELP.
Republican Aldermen aid IN Taxing
PATRONAGE from Senator

The Tammany aldermen, by combining win the
Republicans "dished' Senator McCarren out Oh
considerable patronage yesterday at the meeting
of the Board of Aldermen. Ever since last Janu-
ary the Republican aldermen from Brooklyn nave
held up resolution appropriating slo4O for adal-
tional clerks for the marriage license bureau De-
cause Little Tim Sullivan would not give them
any of the clerkships
Sixty votes needed to put through the reso-
luton and the Tammany men could not get them
without the help of the Republicans The places
all promised by the Tammany men. and at
every meeting of the aldermen the prospective
placeholders have been at the meetings or the
board Senator McCarren sent in the names OF
six wanted appointed clerks
The deadlock broken yesterday when the
Republican members swung into line for the reso-
luton. The Republicans will get two clerks N
Manhattan and two in Brooklyn The places COM
mand s200 a year. The delay in appointing the
clerks has greatly clogged the City Clerks office.
There thousands of names 10 be entered on
permanent registers. 1t is expected that the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment will sanction the
resolution passed yesterday, and that the new
clerks will be work by July 1.
