The Chief Of Police.

The Mayor last night nominated Mr..
Matsell for reelection to the Office of Chief
of Police.
IL is our conviction that this Is serious
mistake on the part of His Honor.
We By no means impugn the motives Of
this nomination; we are proud TO consider
that they were patriotic and elevated The
reasons assigned for the act were, the ne
cessity of having some one In the place on
whom the Mayor can rely the great eXpe-
rience Mr. Matsell has acquired BY having
been Chief ever since the organization OF
the Department; and the petitions IN his
favor, of merchants and bankers represent
inc a vast amount of property.
We are bound, also, to presume that pre-
vious to making this nomination the Mayor
ascertained, beyond possibility of mistake
that charge universally made and generally
believed against Mr. Matsell was incorrect,
and that he (MatselD was not concerned, on
the Goth of April last, or on any other oc-
casion, in buvng land sold BY the City for
taxes, thus mcapacltatlng himself forever
from holding Office under the Charter We
suppose that when his Honor put his hand
to the nominating message, he hneW that
Matseil did not lie under any such inca
pacity, for otherwise seli-respect' respect
for the Common Council and for the Char
ter would have prevented his making the
nomination.
And vet, notwithstanding he knew this,
the nomination Is for him serious mistake {;
because he is altogether mistaken Is to
the qualifications and reliability of the
nominee:
Because Matsell has been trled aud found
wanting and the vast majority Of the re-
spectacle and honest portion of our citizens
regard him as grossly unfit for the Office
Because, if the question were left to
popular vote. such is the universal convlc-
ton as to his most incompetent and I'M
proper management of the department, that
no party would dare to nominate him as its
candidate and were he nominated, his vote
would hardly be worth counting.
Because he has already been long kept
in office by the arbitrary pleasure of the
Mayor, in defiance of the spirit of the Char
ter and in contemptoi the duty of the Clty's
Chief Magistrate, showing that Matsell and
his friends knew that his conduct and claims
would not bear the inquiry that must follow
regular nomination TO the place. For that
reason il would have been more advisable
not 10 show desire still further to retain
him.
Still we VIII not doubt that the Mayor
has acted for the best in making this unwor-
thy and mistaken nomination. We are sor-
nv that he should fall into such an error.
But fortunately the Common Council pos
sess the power otrectitylng the blunder, and
We presume viii make use of it,
