phis, without regard to party, respect,
fully suggest to his Honor, JoHN LoAGUE,
mayor elect, the propriety of the reap
pointment by him, with the consent of
General Council, of
PHIL. r. ATIIY, as Chief of Police,
His services during the past four years
having been of so eminently satisfac-
tory . character, and his administration
of the Police Department so superior to
that of any Of his predecessors tending
to thorough conservatism of the peace
of the city, the maintenance of order,
the suppression of vice and punishment
of criminals. We know that in Captain
Athy we have the best Chief of Police
we ever had, and are unwilling to part
with him under any pretence or for any
purpose short of the appointment of
better man, which we are sure it would
be impossible to find. We petition
ers beg that you will defer to their
wishes in this matter, and urge you to
discard petty prejudices or predllec-
tions and Teappoint Chief Athy, that we
may continue to feel and realize that
sense of security and peace of which
his name alone is the best guarantee:
