The news that Governor Flower had vetoed the
bill giving the city Of New-York bipartisan Po-
lice Board began TO circulate through the hotels
and clubs early in the evening. II could not be
said that there was much surprise manifested.
It was known that the Tammany Hall leaders had
used their influence since It's passage 70 pre-
vent Mr.. Flower from approving the bill This.
however. did prevent the expression Of indigna-
ton among the best classes OF citizens that the
State of NewYork had a Governor so lost 70
decent sef-respec, as to give to Tammany scoun-
drels another opportunity 20 repeat again this year
the Infamous and unprecedented frauds by which
they were able TO register Tammany Hall ma
jority of nearly seventy thousand In 1893
A good many Republicans thought that mistake
had been made in changing the bill from the form
in which II was originally introduced In the Senate
believing that the main point be gained now
was such reorganization OF the Police Board as
would prevent the wipng-out OF thousands Of Re
publican and independent Democratic votes at the
next election. With a Republican Governor and
Republican Legislature safe.y elected. all the re-
forms which desired would be insured
