COLUMBUS February 4.-GlV Foraker
did q righteous and proper thing yester'
day IN removing the Police Commis
slOneTs OF Clnclpnai, on charges OF
corruption aud In fllcieBcy preferred by
the leading Democrats aud Rel lublicant
of the city, who found the continued
northumberland Of The Board insup'
portable. These Commissioners were
the creatures of the worst elements OF
Cincinnati.
The action OF Gov, Foraker Ia as nearly
non partisan az such thing can be,
and will meet with the approval OF all
good men. From my own personal
knowledge the Board put some OF the
worst thieves and bunk0 swlndlers In
Cincinnati upon the force, and respectR
BILE people were In more danger from
them than from the common class OF
thieves and Vlllalnp, There Ia some
hope that these gangs will anally be
broken up, and the Cincinnati Dem0cra
cy relieved from The Tepr0ach that has
been put upon II.
MUDDLE LIKELY TO FOLLOW.
The law creating tina Board makes no
provision for appointing their successors
and there viii be quite a mnddle
over the question OF who 10 at
the head Of the police force,
which will have TO DO settled by
the courts. But In no case can the con-
ditl0n OF affairs be worse than they have
been for months, while they may be
greatly Improved.
