St. Paul daily globe., 1892-05-27

ing spread like prairie fire and he had
many callers during the day. Some OF
these callers were ProhibitiOnists. some
independents and many Republicans,
but all were on deck to ask fagorS for
either themselves or their friends.
From the man who wanted to be chief
or a captain of police down to the one
who would be satisfied with place as
hostler in some of the police stables, all
dropped in to see the next mayor and
lay their claims before him.
One Appointment Certain.
A GLOBE reporter called at the
colonel'S office late i'll the afternoon, but
found he had gone home tired out and
would not be on deck again until this
morning. But it must have been with
a feeling of satisfaction that Col.
Wright sought his couch last night, for
he settled one appointment at least yes
terday, and the most important one he
has at his disposal. 1t may be stated,
for the benefit Of all concerned, that
there is going to be a new chief of pO-
lice. and that official will be repre-
sented after June in the person
of Albert Garvin, at present warden of
the state prison at Saltwater. This was
settled yesterday, ana Albert Garyin
was receiving the congfatn latjeps5 OF his
more intimate friends In this clty> last
evening. He came to st. Paul yesterday
morning in RESPONSE to telegram. Col.
Wright was waiting for him in closed
carriage at the union depot, and when
Mr. Garyin had taken his seat. on the
soft cushions opposite the colonel. the
carriage rolled away to; the iatttr' S
private Office where, a long conference
took place between the two. and when
Mr.. Garvin left the Office his face wore
a knowing smile. His wishes were full
filed, and though
The Salary of Chief of Police
is not as large as the one he now re-
ceives, the hOnors are greater. His
friends say he will make model chief,
and with the strong backing he has re-
ceiYed from the influential Republicans
OF the state, Col. Wright could hardly
refuse him the Office. Later in the day
Mr. Garyin in company with Stanford
Newell visited some of the leading bnsi-
ness men and was introduced as Chief
Clark'S successor. A leading member
of the Republican city committee said
last night: ''There is no doubt as to
GarVin's appointment. 1t has been 'cut
and dried for several days, only waiting
the new mayors return. The selection
may not please everybody, but Garyin
has been brought here for a purpose and
will carry out the law here despite all
obstacles. There is some good material
in ST. Paul for the place. but GarYin is
considered the model man for the posi-
tion." RI
And so he is, especially with the Re-
publican politicians. The preference
a0aO1O fbQn, Mac almost universal for
Garvin and as q matter OF course Garvin
got the plum. 1t is probable Maj.
Iibbey will be pacified with
a place as captain, but however
that way maybe mighty howl will go
up from great many citizens over the
selection of an outsider for the Office of
chief. There was a good deal of discus
sion about the matter oD the street last
night, and number of people who had
heard of the selection of Garyin, freely
criticised it as the new mayors first
mistake. 1t is certain that the gallant
colonel would have put his foot in it
one way or the other. whoever he should
have selected, but the cry of ''non-tax-
.payer'' will be heard for some time
after Chief Garvin has dOnned the big
hat and brass buttons.
Among the friends of Bean and Harris
there is wailing and gnashing of teeth,
but the general run of Republicans say
that it served them right for washing
the dirty linen of the Sherif7S before
the public, but these same Republicans
say that there was no necessity of i'm
porting a man as in the person of Maj.
Libbev the new administration had as
good material as could be found any
where in a faithful and loyal citizen.
