where We stood WteD the first Metropolitan Police
bill was passed, aud subject as TO new mscbances
and complications.
Friends at Albany Republicans be entreated
to LET US ALONE Make any possible reforms and
improvements in our Police system-andw we believe
the bill before you embodies some such-but make
TO change that will once more curse our City with
partisan Police, none that will render such an IN
Fiction possible. The great body of our sober,
thrifty, property holding citizens are unanimous on
this point. They want peace, ORDER security, sta
blity; and these they now have They want entire
immunity from Police fluctuations consequent en-
changes of political ascendency. They want no
Republican Police this year, to be succeeded, very
likely, by Democratic Police next year or the year
after. In short, they want their Police to be sub

OUR POLICE.

The bill to remodel the Board Of Police COmmis-
sioners and make certain other changes in the or
ganization and management of our City Police, is,
we believe special order in the Senate for to-day
We beseech the Senators, therefore, but especially
the Republicans, to hear on the subject.
Our present Police, though not perfect, is by far
the best this City ever had-the best disciplined,
most effective, most popular. Its members hold
their places as they should hold them during good
behavior, and never lose them except by miscon-
duet. They vote, like other citizens; but they do
not make themselves conspicuous at primary meet
ings, ward clubs, Or anything of the SORT The time
is net yet out of memory when the Police of other
days chose the nominating committees of this or
that party; but nothing like it is now known. We
doubt whether there is on the American continent
to-day another Police offensive TO rogues and so
ino1ensive to honest men that Of this City. And
nobody knows, nor asks, nor cares how many of
them belong to one party, or the other, or to
neither.
OF course, we do not mean to say that the Legs
lature il urged to upset all this. But we do say
that the bill before the Senate, if passed, will
greatly endaDger it, We have now seven Commits
sioner-three of them Republicans, three Demo-
Gratis, and Mr. Isaac H. Bailey, who has politics
to speak Of or who, if he has, leaves them outside
Ill door of the Board.room. II is not even con.
tended, nor suspected, nor imagined that this
Board does or refrains from doing anything in
Difference to the demands or interest, Of any party
whatever. But the Board proposed in tie new bill
ia composed of three Commissioners and will almost
certainly DO partisan in its majority, or it will at the
