NEW YORK HERALD SUNDAY lS77-QUADRUPLE SHEET

troller's programme for the nomination OF
Alderman Purroy as Police Commissioner,
and OF a reliable Tammany democrat as Park
Commissioner We believe that these hopes
of coercing Mayor Ely into subserviency to
the dictates of an overbearing leader will be
disappointed. 1t is not very probable that
Governor Robinson will intermeddle in the
but even if he should be unwise enough to
do SO the Mayor would not be likely to
yield to his influence any sooner than to the
arts of Mr. Kelly. The people of New York,
with the exception of the mere Tammany
politicians, desire that the Police Board
shall be kept free from craftsmanship by the
equal political division Of the Commission
ers between the two great parties in State
politics Governor Seymour favored such a
policy. So did the late Mayor Havemeyer
So did Tammany Hall professedly before
election, and SO did and SO does Mayor Ely.
The perfect fairness and peacefulness OF the
last exciting election, when SO enormous an
honest vote was polled in the city, are q
proof of its wisdom and value.
Aside from these considerations there are
solid objections to the candidate whom Mr.
Kelly desires to force on the Mayor. Alder
man Purroy is the presiding officer of the
body which has used the confirming power
to defeat good nominations and to coerce
the Mayor into appointing mere partisans to
Office He has neither the experience nor
the public standing to entitle him to such
q position as Commissioner Of Police or
Of Public Parks. He would be at best an
experiment. and, as his keen partisanship is
notorious, dangerous experiment, while
there are numbers of capable, experienced,
responsible citizens, possessing the public
confidence, on whom the vacant commits
sionerships might be bestowed but for the
selfish, unworthy and unjustifable opposi-
ton Of Alderman Purroy and his associates,
who unfortunately possess the power OF
confirmation. When it was proposed to cut
down the pay Of Aldermen and other city
officers Mr.. Purroy, with more candor than
discretion, interposed in opposition the
plea Of the enormous expense attending an
Aldermanic election. 1t may, therefore,
we'll be doubted whether he would under
any circumstances be regarded as desir-
able head of any municipal department.

General Grants Entertain meMt
Abroad.

The interest taken by the American public
in the movements of General Grant in Eu-
rope, as detailed in the HERALD's special
dispatches, not only concerns itself with
the honors showered upon the great soldier
but also partakes of curiosity to observe
what effect all this will have upon the man.
He has always been individually an object
of speculation. During the war people
studied his cigar stumps, and we all re-
member what Lincoln, Judging by results,
thought of his brand of whiskey His silence
was symbolical, and eager partisans and
often the nation grasped at his sententious
utterances, if not as tho rallying cries of
new ideas, at least as old ones put into
fighting form. From operating on millions
of men he has become being to be
operated on. Princes, dukes, earls,
marquises, viscounts have him within short
range and fire dinners and receptions at
him. Princesses, duchesses, marchionesses
open all their batteries of smiles and soft
speech upon him. The heavy shot
OF statesmen, scientists and phi
lanthropists bang into his brain.
British brass bands blaze away at him,
British crowds let fly volleys of cheers at
him, and away ahead are seen the ammuni-
ton trains of the nobility, gentry and COM
mon people, coming up with more dinners
receptions, civic honors, brass bands and
cheers. Almost enough to make us pity
him.
How will he come ont of the ordeal? We
know very well how a few British dinners
turned poor Reverdy Johnson's head In
deed, the Ministers who have come back to
us from London with watered republican
ism and stiffened spinal columns are
almost as numerous as the entire list. It
leads us to look with we'll grounded
suspicion on noble British cookery. Now,
when General Grant was President it was
noticed that the White House cuisine had q
disastrous effect upon those around him.
How Belknap used to straighten his back
and knit his brows, how Williams
used to look lordly and even other
wise jovial Robson to look ducal,
while the airs Of the superb young men
about the Executive Mansion could only be
called tremendous Still Grant himself
was not affected. He had certain con-
tempt for that sort of thing. Now, if
ever, he is in danger. He is in the
land of the vivien of republication. Will
he come back to us attenuated into a crea-
ture Of the same fibre as the average ex-Min-
lister from st. James-a thing neither royal
fish, republican flesh, but sort of exqui-
site red herring? We hope not nay more,
we believe not. Therefore let the dukes and
earls blaze away at him. He is not likely
to return snivelling about the demnition
common people; for, with all his self-con-
seriousness, he has never forgotten the
great people whom he had the oppor-
tunity to save, and who had the graft
tude to reward him. In this he can
set great example to our diplomatic fedg-
lings abroad, who become SO blown out with
a little noble attention that, when the pin
prick of recall reaches them they come
home pitiable pictures of the collapsed
snOb.
