A movement looking to ‘the abandonment of the “retaiping’’ clause altogether | is already on foot, and if peace can be made with Mayor Havemeyer it will be so arranged. What General Grant may have to do with the city charter is a pertinent question asked by many members here, but the contest between the reformers and the “ring” fac- tions a8 to who has his support is enough answer tothat.
