NEW YORK, August 1ith. The
election of MacLean yesterday as
temporary President of the Police
Board is significant, because Mac
Lean is notoriously a personal
friend and dependent of Tilden,
and was one of his trusted clerks
during the Presidential campaign.
The Tribune considers the new
moves to control the Police Board
equivalent to Tilden hosting the
black flag. Tilden and his friends
recognize that defeat in the coming
State Convention would be fatal to
his hope of controlling the New
York delegation to the National
Convention next year. Hence the
unseemly and facetiOus wrangle
with Tammauy about those city
offices and the desperate move to
obtain control of the baliot-boxes
through the power of selecting the
Inspectors, both with the ulterior
view of renOmInating and re elect
ing Governor Robinson. Tamma-
ny's counter move last night in in
formally resolving that under no
consideration can the New York
Democracy vote for Robinson again
without the sacrifice of honor and
manhood, looks much as if there
will be a certain bolt if Robinson's
nomination is forced. Without
New York City the Democrats
,l..oaf h NiIlny1 nd ti
friends are evidently greatly alarm.
ed at the danger that Chief Justice
Church may be nominated, which
would finally extinguish Tildeu's
presidential hopes. Church would
unite his party, and give a large
victory.
