men, Police Justices Justices OF the District Courts and
school officers who shall be chosen at the charter cleo
ton and except in where special elections may b
authorized by law" This the signal Tor battle.
which the fierce Democracy fought among themselves
with spirit and acrimony that can be better imagined
than described Speaker II. spoke with pontedness
that caused repea interruptions for explanations from
different members Of the younger branch Of the party
The speaker gave and received shots that would have
brought down the house at any ordinary theater but the
Republicans content to laugh In their sleeves and
maintained degree of gravity which formed an almost
ludcripus contrast with the excitement raging among
the Democrats around them There was little need Of
meddIng in contest where each division Of the cor.
testsns was raining down blows thick and fast upoa
opponents in their own political household.
Aside from the peculiar wrangng in the recent Tam
many Legislative Caucus. nothing in the Of debate
has excited such interest the discussion to-day respect
ing the Public School and Secarian question sprlngns
up incidentally in the Senate, on movement Of Mr.
Dreamer Of NewYork to refer the bill Of Senator Wood
and all petitions on those subjects TO the Committee
Municipal Affairs, il marked by some language from
him pungent than complimentary TO the MEMORIAL
lists against sectarian OF public moneys he eharae
terizing them substantially as set OF cantng hypocr
and in other phrases more emphatic than courteous
Senator Woodn, replying to these aspersons as well
az abiding to the general features Of the question
at ISSUE asserted that the memorials were signed
by men OF the very best character OF both
parties IN all parts of the state-as instanced 7"
the signatures from his particular region-men whose
characteristics he well knew. These memonal' no
added are unmistakable evidences OF the strong ana
honorable feeling with which these secaran and edues
tional questions are regarded by people Of a parties
through the interior Of the State. Senator Henry C.
Murphy Of Brooklyn took some part in the debate WIN
out expressing any very decided opinions
Senator Cha pman OF BrOome County proposed nodf
fcation OF Senator Creamers resolution, aunlhS 81 TO
ferrng the subjects to certain Committees but the senate
cut short the debate at this point By closing ITS doors
and going into Executive session for the consideration OF
made by the Governor for Loan Commissions
ers and some other comparatively unimportant onces
After the Executive session closed, the senate ro-
sumed consideration OF the sectarian sehooi question:
when on motion Of Senator Tweed, oil the memorials
against sectaran appropriations, aong win the OIL o.
Senator Wood for repeating the section uhder Nhon SUI"
appropriations made. we're referred 10 the 0ommi
tee on Municipal Affairs by vote OF Is to PM l"eea
himself being Chairman OF that COMMITTEE
It'll not all far.weather sailing among the dominant
party their scramble for the spois In the Albany oV
Government, any more than in New-lork. The Om
amending the capitol Police" law so as to turn OUT
Republican Commissioner, was referred back today !"
the Committee Citics This virtual defeat Of the
measure The opposition OF Assembymen Jacobs Oh
Brooklyn, and William d. Murphy OF Albany, who placed
themselves upon the Democratic ground Of opposition
TO all commissions" has seemingly proved s deathoov
Thus the Democrats OF Albany will have to trT their
hand again. Some OF them held meeting yesterday a
which 1t was resolved present bill FOR City Police
naming the Commissioners IN the bill; but to this MI
Wm. D. Murphy again objected upon constitution"
grounds which he has been sustained by the opinion
of the Attorney Our hungry Democratic friends
therefore will have to try another move In their 'poS
hunting game.
