Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tridung, New Yon, Dec. 10.—John Kelly's polit- ical career is ended, and his remains, fgura- tively spenking, were swopt from the City- Vall this afternoon by the Alder- manie broom wielded by Mayor Cooper, ‘The mau who has controlled the pat ronngo of a municipality more impor- many States, who has wielded practically the power of a patty despot, and who has cut a prominent figure in the political maneuvres of the day, now dinds himsutf atthe end of his tether, and robbed of his own great sourca of strength. Undeterred by the insinuations and menaces, and uninfluenced by the offers and promises in turn freely made by John Kelly and his Tam- many “‘heelers,” the Aldermen to-day, by decisive majorities on successive ballots, voted to confirm the . nomina- tions sent in by the Mayor for tho {important municipal offices - made vacant by operation of the law or otherwise, Kelly 1s deposed trom his position og Con- troller, and in hig stend is put Mr, Allen Campbell, whom Kelly'has persistently and bitterly opposed.

Inonly threaot tho ballots taken did all the mombers of the Board of Alder- men yote, As nrule the Republican mem- ‘bers voted to confirm the nominations, and they were genorally retnforced by four Tam- wnnnyltes and five antl-Tammanyites, CONDO To the Western New Youu, Dee, 10,—Controlter Kelly was walted upon this afternoon by many per- sons, who expressed thelr regret that ho would no longer be connected with tho Finance Department. Ho was engaged until late arranging his affalrs, preparatory to departure, but Mr. Campbell, the new ap- polntee, sent him word he would not be pre- pared to take charge of the oftles 1mtil to- morrow, Koeley said his only — re- gret in retiring from the dopart- ment was In severing his connection with the falthful employés, to whom ho had become deeply attached, IIe referred to tho efliclency of tha services thoy had rendered the city, and sald it was with feelings of re- @ret that ho parted with them, SCENES, THE Clown, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune, New Yous, Dec, 10.—The scenes at tho City-Hall during tho session of the Board to- day wore remarkable, The rooms wereshuply pucked with curlous people, When it became known that tho name of Allan Campbell had ‘been presented for Controller in place -of Joln Kelly, and that the Aldermen were discussing the woinination, the Tammany “ heelers*’ were onthe verge af frenzy, Hats and money Were wagered that Mr, Campbell would not be confirmed, Runiors flew fast and thick that be had already been confirmed, and the Tammanyites were _ 7. NEARLY WILD, Ant!-Taimmanyites aud Republicans meane while were rejoicing, There was 9 souson of suspense, Moen of pervous temperament, Unable to endure It, found thelr way out 4n the cold, and sought comfort In the nelgh- Doring barroom, When James J, Martin, @ contidential clerk for Controller Kelly, Tound lity way down the shaky stalrcase Into the corridor, it wus notleed at once that he was tha messenger of bad news to his chiet- stain, Me wade haste through tho corridor, pussed out of the rear entranca to the City-Hall, and entered the Court-House, He declined to answer any questions, But, soon after his departure, it became pos itlvely known that Allan Campbell had been confirmed asthe successor of John Kelly, and that ; TUF BIO CHIEF OF TAMMANY had played hfs Inst card and had lost. Men Brasped each other by the hand and aatd, “Thank God!” ‘The supposed friends of Kelly dropped suddenly away and fled from the scene, possibly that thoy might arise In the morning as Democrats of the new school, or,In tho expressive Ian- Guage of one of tho tribe, “Be in with the winners”? When Clerk Martin, horror- stricken and almost out of breath, reached the Con¢ollar’s office, NE FOUND KELLY seated at his great desk In the privato office. After a quick glance at Martin, Kelly needed no word to teil him he had lost, Martin gaspel: “Campbell has been confirmed.” Kelly lay back in his comfortable arm-chnir, and picked his teeth with aquill, A man who peeped through tha half-open door said Kelly attempted to smile, but he thought it highly probably ‘tho defented ‘Tammany brave had smiled because of Martin's dis- comiiture, After a little reflection KELLY BAID? “Jim, go over to Campbell's offico and ask him whether ho wishes to take possession imnediately.”” When Kelly was appolited by Mayor Wickham four years ago he on- tered the Controller's office within a half- hour after his nomination was confirmed, When Kelly told Murtin to-day to seo M Campbell nt once he had in mind, per- hans, his own hasty entrance into the possession of the ofilee. “Martin found Mr. Campbell without tronble, and the Controller said: "Toll Mr. Kelly that £ will not be nt the office until to-morrow morning.” Martin hurried back with this message. Kelly still sat alone, and nodded ts Martin spoke to him, THE CONTROLLEWS OFFICE was ascene of glomn and confusion, and tho usually surly doorkeepers were willing to ad- mit Tom, Dick, and Harry to the sacred pre- ciuets. Tit Tummuxe representative ap- proached the fallen chieftain and asked him whether he desired to explain his defent. Kelly replied !n a husky voice: “Not now; I have nothing to say just now.’ Then, in a more emphatic insnner, he added: * But I shat! have something to say hereafter.” As tho correspondent retired Kelly and Martin began to pack up private papers preparatory to removal, Its satd that when Kelly went out of the building this evening tho usual " Bowing Committees? was absent, THE MAYOR'S - OFFICE ‘was 8 scene of joy, nnd Mayor Cooper never |" looked so perfectly happy during his terin of office. Lt seemed thata great load had been lifted from his shoulders, and he frankly nc- knowledged that he was highily pleased, He shook hands with everybody. Hugh Gard- ner, the now Police Justice, was the first sworn Into office. In tha neighborhood of tha Clty-Ifali_ politicians expressed thoir pleasure that Kelly had been defeated, AMONG THE ORESTFALLEN ONES was John Scammnel, 2 sporting mau who had 4} wagered $1,000 against $500 that John Kelly would succeed himself as Controller, Henry D. Purroy took an clevated train for Harlem ats o'clock, and looked like a thunder-cloud as ho crossed tho bridge. Tho ‘Tammany Committees on Organization will meet to- imurrow evening, and Kelly witl deliver an- other explanatory address, FEELING AMONG THE TAMMANYITES. Spécial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Youx, Dee, 10.—The Kelly Domo- erats, when the fact becaine known that tha Board had taken action against thelr leader, and deprived him of his power, insisted that, while this might be the ease, it was but tem- porary, and that it did not necessarily destroy. his power, Tho Irving Hall Democrats wera ofcourse proud and joyful, ‘The result iy regarded ns on great triumph of Mayor Cooper, who, during his whole term, has been endenvoring to bring about this result, Allan Campbell is a man whom, of all ofters, Kelly would not have preferred to succeed him.

TO APPRECIATE THE FUL SIGNIFICANCE of the work dono by tho Mayor amt Alder- men to-day, itis necessary to bear in mind what would have been the probable coim- ploxity of the City Government had it beens left undone, In another three weeks New York will havo-a now Mayor, Mr, Grace. Joln Kelly, If he had been attowed to“ hold over” till the Ist of January, would have been able not.only to bend tho Mayor to hls purposes, bué would have hold a pusttion from which, he could dictate the composition ani the conduct of EVERY DEVARTMENT OF THY CITY GOVERN- ENTS ‘Tho mere fact of being allowed to retain his power to control the new Board of Alder- men would have secured hls continued supremucy In ‘Tammany Mall, and would have prolonged lils offlelal oxtstencu and all and the appointment of the offi departments was duc to the fact that such vacancies had existed for overnyear, He did not think that, in the distribution of offices among the parties, he had neted other than asthe Mayor of the city should. ‘The ottices of the Controller and Corporation Counsel, which have been Democratic forn number of years, ara still Democratic, lic thanked them for thelr approval of his course.

THE “TIMES.” Spectal Dispatch to The chicago Trinine, New Yoru, Dee, 10,--The fimes, editori- ally, will say of tho results of to-day: It muy not bo too hastily concluded that Now York {a about to cuter ona cyula of good Kav ernment, becnuec tho man has been ban- ished on whom centered’ tho forces of corrupt and incapablo aiministration, Tho influences which brought about Kelly's down- fall bavo deen of & very comptox and not pare tleutarly disinterested charncter, but it fan striking testimony to the Ineroasing power of publia opinion over the springs oft muntolpal politica, that, from the mixed muss of motives out of which yesterday's nomino- tons wors finally evolved, we should have aresult which {¢ so fairly satisfactory, Tho Personal fitness of Mr. Campbell for tho position of Controtter has yot tobe proved, but in him tho taxpnyers will have at least a inan who will stoutly resist the payment of every corrupt or extravagant ctalm, who will seck to do ovon-handed justice to every department of tho Clty Government, who will clear tho markets of the political bummers and binckmnilora who infest them, and who, above all, will not mergo the functions of tho head of tho Finance Department 1u those of tho political ‘Hoss. In short, tho substance of yesterday's work is thatr great veril has been averted from tho future of good government in tho city, and some very substan- tntladvances have beon mado toward wlacing that Government on a baalsof honesty, capacity, and responsibility.

Even Tne Trimuns has become interested in the subject, ns I sce in Inst Sunday's issuo an editorial approving the suggestion of State abandonment and Federal control, 1 quote from that editortal: ‘The Stato of Minols has expended from first to fist £$12,000,000 upon this great work. itis still incomplete, The canal needs nn cap tire for deepening it to tho Jevel of the Chicago River, and for widening It to tho capacity of tho stcamora tlint do businegs on the grent rivers. eves 2 Its entirgement is essential to make all tho past expenditures available, All that hus been expended will bo cumpuratively wasted uniees the Iltnola River bo sufficiently cons nected with the lake by this onnal. . . 4 2 It ig to be hoped that the Congressional delegntion from Chicngo may be nblo to. cnlist the wd of Congress in the ‘completion of tho river and canal improvement, Inanothor column of tho same tssue an editorial quotes Congressman Henderson ng saying: “It 1s the intention of Illinols Con- gresainen to make a strong effort to obtain an-appropriation for the widening and deep- ening of the Hifnols & Michigan Canal dur- ing the coming session of Congress.” Now alr, permit some bricft criticisms. During the sessions of the Twenty-clghth, Twenty-ninth, aud ‘Chirtieth General As- semblles a few of us made organized but in- effectual efforts to secure an accomplishment of tho results now 80 seemingly vopular. But at every turn wo were met with rebuff, Tho Executiyd Department of the State turned a lenf car; the railroad attorneys’ lobby sneered at the bare suggestion of making tha eanaland river navigable; while the Canal ting pooled in with the State charitable In- stitutions and penitentiaries, so that-the few gentlemen (only one from Chicago) who wanted to rescue the expensive and nayscous ditch from decay and inake of it a National highway were hardly allowed to cool their heels In the Legislative lobbies, Finally at the bezinning of tho Thirty-first.
