Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-10-20


most earnestly ask your honorable body to
/ take into consideration the propriety of
electing Immediately force of special po-
! licemen. sufficiently strong to preserve the
i peace of the city, on next. election day,
in order thatthe good name of our hereto
fore peaceful city may not suffer on ac-
count of the rash acts of a few eXcitable
persons, who may be so indiscreet as to ex-
cite party strife on that day
take the liberty of calling your atten-
tion to this important subject thus early,
In order that you may be prepared for any
emergency that may arise hereafter. fons
are aware of the trouble of last Tuesday,
which the police could not control, because
! of the small number on duty. l would al
| so suggest to your honorable body that
the number necessaryf to preserve the
peace in Ease trouble should arise will be.
fifty. This number of good men will be abb
solutely needed to preserve the peace and
quiet of the city. Six of these should be,
mounted to give the alarm to the force as
rapidly as possible. My fears may be un-
founded, but the excitement of last. Tues
day shows how necessary it is to be pre-
pared. $40 yaigsF sisE{ sq5ss yl5t afbs-!nlf j
