FROM ALBANY.

which was ordered By resolution Of that body on
Frdsy Of last week, has not yet been appointed
and honest people outside tn ring are beginning to
| inquire whats in the wind. The argument in favor
OF the appointment Of this Committee was that OF
the necessity Of Forwarding legislation. only few
days OF the constitutional session remaining while
| the great buk IF the law masking yet remains 10 be
| accomplished. 80 that If the appointment of this
| extraordinary u mmlttee iustifable at all the
| reasons which warrant it would require ~ prompt
| action on the part of the Speaker in selecting It's
members as due regard TO the great interests IN

sumed to have BY this time very fair knowledge Of
the character and caber OF the members OF the

TIE real difficulty in the matter as | unde rstand
| I, il that by mistake or bad working of the
party machinery, the wrong man IT. Jones, ir Of
iered the resolution appointing the Committee. Mr..
Jones is little eccentric az times-sO much 80, IN
deed, that he won't always pull steadily in the par
| ty harness. particularly when the collar doesn't fit
wel and lie has strange prejudicts at times in fla
yor If following his own Judgment when Il conflicts
with that Of debating leaders. Hence, he is looked
upon with suspicion by many OF the NewYork
| Delegation a. he was b! his party associates when
in the Council of Your city; aud hence he Is not ac-
ceptabe to the party nor 10 the lobby as Chairman
| OF the Grinding Committee.
| Since the passage Of the resolution III question,

standing the pressure brought 10 bear upon him, not

IN this case.

| without why or wherefore, on all important ques-

tant questions as matter Of party discipline.
Seeing two or three of the Police Commissioners
at the state Capital reminds me that three names
are to be sent in to the Senate by the Governor

they have performed well and 10 the satisfaction OF

they have or have not, of course cannot presume
