Reform at City Hall Shapes Factional Balance in Elections
The piece discusses a nucleus stronger than typical for a third party candidate, with two main city factions seeking a union. Mayor Grace vows to retire after his term and is not seeking party nomination. He could run as an independent on a civil service reform record, arguing the reform has spread to most departments and may extend to the remaining. If Grace runs on reform, paired with Mr. George representing organized labor, a cleaner canvass and greater reform momentum could result.
