Hill, however, in message which hs submitted IN
The Assembly tonight, declared that the Republican
party polls usually only about one third Of the VOTE
OF that city," and then argued that Il shouId NOT
nave more than one-thlrd representation in thu
Board OF Police, which controls the election machinery
of that city.
Acting upon this argument. he vetoed Assembiyman
Hamiltons bill which provided that perpetually thors
should be one Republican and one Democratic pol,o,
commissioner thus preserving the non-partisan char
acter which the Board has had for the last twsnty
years Mr. HILL It will be from the above fguros

as any one that the Republican vote is nearer ons
half than one-third the total number Of votes cast
but 1t suits bis purpose to make this argument IN
order that he may put three Democrats into tho Board
OF Police Of New York and use the Police pspa4m,ns
not only to elect Democratic State ticket this fsIl
but David B. Hill as President, he should be TIA
Democratic candidate IN 1892.

Mr.. Hi reserved his veto Of Mr. Haudlton's bin
until nearly O'Clock. When 1t had been read to
the Assembly, there was outburst Of indignation
among the Republicans over Mr. Hills argument IN
favor Of dsregardng the unwritten law Of twenty
years past, that the Board Of Police of New-Yoyk shall
be non-partisau body, inasmuch as to it is con-
hded the care Of elections In New-York.
Mr. Hamilton denounces the Governor for vstoins
the measure, arguing that IT fair 10
the members OF both tho political parties
OF New-fork that the Board OF Police
should be strictly non-partisan body. Mr.
Hamilton referred to the fact that the Governor had
also sent in veto of Mr.. Rhodes's bill making the
Board OF Park Commlssopers nom partisan
and had signed this afternoon Mr.
Hsgans bill Increasing the number of police justices
in New-York from eleven to fifteen. The Governor
had thus posed a reformer in vetong bills to
keep the Police and Park Departments OF New-York
free fom political influences, and had signed 9 bill
which would give the Democratic Mayor Of New-York
patron age worth 100000 The Republicans smiled
when they realized that Mr. Hill had carefully killed
the bills which would give the Republican taxpayers
repres sntation in the government Of New-YorA and
had as carefully signed q bill which would yearly
take large amount OF money sut Of the pockets
of these taxpayers. Mr.. Hamlton's argument that
the vstOed bills in the Interest OF good govern
ment cordially echoed by them.
The Democratic members who had voted for Mr..
SrhO Ar
compelled 10 change front and vote to sustain ths
veto, sQuirmod good deal rs MI Hamilton
made his speech, Mr.. Sheehsn, the Dem ocratc leader
declined to say q word. A few Of the lesser Demo-
cratic members, however, made speeches. Mr. Hor-
ndge, County Democracy member, made a speech
exultIng over the Governors actiCE. He expressed
his confidence that the Governor would protect all
kinds Of Democratic organizations. Mr. Hornidge, III
appealed TO his Democrats 10
tain the Governor. That advice was superhu0us.
The Democratic party was never before represented
at Albany by so many men who have no opinions ex-
cept those held by the head OF their party Mr.. Con-
nelly, of Tsmmany Hall, however, thought 10 we'll to
express his THANKS u tho Governor for the ee which
the latter had presented to Mayor Grant and Richard
Croker for their consumption.
Mr.. Fish, Republican, interrupted Mr.. Connolly
with this inquiry: Do / understand from you
that Mayor Grant told you that he disapproved
Of these BILLS"
"I said no such thing" answered Mr.. Connolly.
Z merely said that he disapproved Of deals, As
always has done.'
Taat is not tho question: persisted Mr. Ftsh'
Il want 10 know II the Mayor told you that he
tisapproved Of these billsi"

said Mr.. Connolly.
