In pursuance. possibly. OF the scheme sug-
cssted in yesterdays Sun for putting Inspec-
tor williams In command OF the Now York po-
leeii Fassett should ever be Governor and the
cty should again be ruled from Al
hony by means OF Commissions. Re-
publIcan newspaper came out yesterday
with tho startling Intelligence that Super
intendent Murray had summoned eight police
CAPTAINS to his private Office. and In the pros
ana Of Inspector Byrnes had deliberately in
structed them to colonize the lodging houses
and houses Of bad repute below Fourteenth
strect in this city In the interest OF Tammany
HALL Each Captain. 1t was averred. was In
,tructcd to send five patrolmen to I'LL each
house to its utmost capacity.
The first thing that Superintendent Murray
aid when he saw this article was to write the
allowing letter to tho editor OF the entorpris-
Ing Republican journal:
In today's edition OF your paper appears An
article charging me with instructing Captains OF
certain precincts Tuesday last to violate
tho election laws BY detailing patrolnien from
their command to SEQ that lodging houses

wits st tho ensuing election. This statement pro-
pounes unqnnnedy false in every particular and cha
euse proofs OF any such action either directly ind.
rse.y on my part. Respectfully.
WILLIAM MURRAY. Superintendent Of Police.
At tie same time Inspector Byrnes wrote
this ietter:
