THE NEW POLICE SUPERINTENDENT.
A Proposition to Appoint a Republican and
Place Obstacles in His Way.

If the Police Com missioners have made up
their minds who they will appoint to-day to sue
coed O'Donnell they are keeping their decision
wholly to themselves. They will meet this aft
ernoon at 8 o'clock to name the man. When it
was first known that ODonnell had decided to
resign it was generally supposed that Captain
Colbert would be temporarily called to I'LL the
position until the board is reorganized in Janu-
airy, but later developments seem to indicate
that an entirely different course will be pur-
sued. The influence of the Democratic politi-
clans has been brought to bear upon the Dem
ocratic members of the board in urging them
to appoint Republican superintendent, and it
is rumored that Sergeant Travis will be placed in
charge temporarily, at least. This move is taken
for the reason that there is an understanding
that whoever the superintendent shall be, he shall
have no backing by the grand jury or in the
Criminal Court and will be utterly powerless to
carry out the Republican idea of the enforce
ment of the law. He is to be put in to demon
strate what they Will call that party's ineiciency
in enforcing the law, and out of the appointment
it is expected to make political capital. Their
idea Is to get man between two fires. He will
have the apparent support of the Commissioners,
who will, If the scheme is carried out go on rec
forced, but on the other hand he will have,
standing between himself and justice. the grand
jury and the Criminal Court and all the exer-
tons he may make will be of no avail Mr..
Murphy. it is said, regards the proposition with
favor but Mr.. Schurmann has not yet given his
consent. He doesn't object to Republican, but
he wants to see the new superintendent have the
support of the court as well as the board.
1t is generally conceded that the new man, if
he should be a Republican, will be from outside
the force, for it is believed that under the cir
cumstances not single Republican on the force
could be induced to accept the place without
pledge of earnest support from the Criminal
Court
The police observed yesterday as a sort of holt
day. The force virtually without head
for ODonnell laid aside his uniform and gave no
attention to his duties. He was not even pres
ent at roll-call There was no attempt made to
enforce any law. and during the day not single
arrest was made. 1t was big day for the
Saloons all of which kept front, side and back
doors wide open, as though it was mid-week
