- It is estimated that of the 100,000 Federal officers of the country 11,000 are in our own state and 7,000 in this city. There are also on Manhattan Island 10,000 salaried state and municipal officers, and 3,000 officers who are paid by fees, making a total of 20,000 officeholders in our city. There need be no doubt that 10,000 compotent persons could satisfactorily perform the whole service of the 20,000, and for half the pay.
