make brief speech. Judge Gaynor
will respond. and then. it is expected,
there will be a chance to shake the hand
Of the new executive and wish him
Happy New Year. That is the way that
II has been done in former years, and
Judge Gavnor is not disposed to depart
from the custom.
Judge Gaynor will have ready nearly
full slate of appointments to-day. He
had trouble in getting the men he want

compelled to take a second choice. II is
understood that some of the head of de-
partmcnts will hold over. among them
Police Commissioner Baker. Street
Cleaning Commissioner Edwards. Law
son Purdy. president of the Tax Board.
and one or two more.

the Board of Aldermen on the Demo-
cratic ticket. can be Commissioners of
Water Supply, Gas and Electricity.
