Tom Plat for their advlce,and received replies
that II did not make any difference. All of

ton that he is to be the nominee. He told his
Immediate friends that he did not want 10
be In Washington II nominated, for the
reason that he lives In sight OF the
Executive Mansion, and II he were nominated
he of course would receive an ovation. He
would rather not have the nomination than to

For this reason more than any other he left

would like TO be there. 1t is said that II Blaine
had lived In any othor section OF the city
than so near the White House he would have
remained In Washington.

PAY OF POLICE LIEuTENANTs.
Many Reasons why It Should BE
lr.nnaas. tEhns. IL q

There is considerable feeling among the
ten police lieutenants on account Of the Senate
stiking out the item in the District Appro-
priation bill giving them an advance OF $40
per month on their present small salaries.
CRITIC reporter asked Major Dye this
morning what he thought OF the question.
"They get only 500 per month now" said
the officer, "and we want TO give them $40.
1t Is very little for the ONCE, and It Is very
shameful that they don't get It, There la a
great deal of responsibility attached to tho
position OF a lieutenant who has the charge OF
precinct, and at present they only get So per
than one class OF prlvates. Now, the position Of
lieutenant entails certain extra expenses on
the men occupying that title, and IL there Is
not more distinction in the salary, there Will
not be many who will aspire to the position.
The better pay given, the better Will be the
men secured. This increase should be made,
and at once"

WHO Gets ON a Spree ana Acts Like
Any Other ROwdy.
Charles d. Lapham was the name Of young
man whom the Bailifr Mt the Police Court
called and announced as forfeiting $40 col
lateral for assault this morning.
Onlcer Kenna OF tho Fifth Precinct stated to
THE CRITIC reporter that the defendant was
Senator Lapham's son, and he was charged
with insulting and assaulting ladies on the
Avenue and Fifteenth street last night while
on n drunken spree. Tho ofIicer stated that
his attention was called about 10 o'clock last
night TO Lapham, who had
Insulted Congressman Fincrfy's
wife.
and only escaped good Gaming from Mr., Flu
erty because ho didn't want the Police Court
notoriety attending such things.
Lapham then went TO the Riggs House and
was about to be put out when he said he had
room, which was found TO be incorrect. He
then went out on the sidewalk and when two
young ladies were passing he grabbed one of
them by the arm and pulled her to him.
The oifcer, who had repeatedly requested
him to go home, took him into custody. He
was stylishly dressed and had q gold watch
and 1855 in his possession. When behind the
bars he made quite point OF being Senator
Lapham's con, ana said he would make the
ofcer who arrested him feel his weight. He
didn't think II prudent to appear before Judge
Smell this morning, however.
