NEW YORK POLITICS.

Tan,,nanU and the Police Board.
The Tammany hall Democracy served on
all the members of the board of police COM
missioners, shortly before noon Friday, a
formal order to show cause why mandamus
should not issue compelling them to appoint
inspectors of election Immediately. The
papers were made returnsble at 1890 on
Monday morning, in the supreme court
chambers. The order is returnable
before Judge Whitbeck, who signed it
this morning. The. afidav:ts on which
the order is made allege that
certain police commissioners and other pro-
tended police commissioners have refused to
at all consider the lists of qualified men Of
ferred by Tammany Hall, and are about to
appoint others having no connection with
that party between now and Wednesday,
when their power of appointment ends.
When the board of commissioners mst,
Commissioner Mclean presented papers
served upon the board. he moved that
they be referred to the corporation counsel
for action, with the remark that he
thought the proceeding strange and
almost unprecedented. The matter
was referred without discussion.
George Tickner Curtis has written very
elaborate opinion as to the duties of police
commissioners in making appointments of
inspectors and clerks. He sets forth that
there are only two political parties which
should be known in law to them, and these
parties are the Republican and Democratic,
and that the only recognized, Democratic
party is the one generally distinguished I'M
der the designation of the Tammany Hall
organization. He gives number of rea-
sons for the conclusion that the Tammany
Hall nominees for inspectors and election
and poll clerks are the only ones that can be
approved legally by the board.

At Mil,ca,skee.

The Times dispatches characterizing the
milwaukee wheat market "a milking Market y
we're again verified by to-day experiences.
Although the market was made to seem weak
last night by the principal operators, those
who knew anything shout the real facts per-
tanning to the foreign orders here were
aware that the weakness was mere pre-
tense, and that prices could not drop any
lower than they were. This morning the
nanipulators sslet her boom again, and
November opened at $l.O5. Then there
was gradual advance until $1.O656 was
reached, when prices declined again to
$1.O6118. At the noon board there was
another rally, and November closed at
$1.O658 sellers. Of course the milking
process will continue as long as
it is profitable so to do. It is in
deed ths only actual feature of this market
at present.; and those who are seesawing with
the movement are making "bar'ls" of money.
Receipts are beginning to be worth talking
about, and are steadily increasing.
At the afternoon board there were heavy
orders to buy, and prices jumped up with
every purchase. AT the close the market was
very excited at $1. .Oe for November. All the
connty buyers are bulline it. and it now looks
as though they were bound to force prices as
far beyond real values as they were below
during August. The general impression here
tonight is that cent or two more advances
will be quoted before another break occurs,
although the local operators, knowing that .
break is likely to happen whenever any large
attempts to realize are made are extremely
cautious, and rather expect another break
before tomorrow night. The market closed
neither strong nor weak, but very nervous
and excited.
