THE PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.
SOME SPICY LANGUAGE USED IN THE DEBATE ON
TIE LT1XOW BILLS

SOME SPICY LANGUAGE USED IN THE DEBATE on
THE LEXow BILLS.
Albany March 2.-Expectation OF heated dis
cussIon over the New-York police bills caused an
air of excitement about the Senate Chamber this
morning.
senator Iexow moved tn. police bill first reached.
which was that creating a general commission.
stating that the discussion was. however by under
standing 10 be general and not confined to one
bill
The first bill taken up for discussion the
Lexow REORGANIZATION bill, the other being super
seeded as Of less importance In the debate Senator
Cantor offered the Committee of Tens bill as sub
stitute.
Senator Lexow said the two did differ in any
vital principle The majoritys bill was as funda-
mental a reorganization Of the police force as was
the Committee OF Tens. Moreover. the original ma
jority bill was almost identical with that of the
Committee of Ten. But the Mayor bad been sub
sttuted for the Governor in the bill by the ma
jority The further difference was not important.
That bill met below the Harlem with nothing but
abuse. But now. through the Committee OF Ten
they set the seal of approval that measure.
Senator Cantor-Your bill was satisfactory, with
the exception OF the Governor Instead of the
Mayor.
Senator Lexow continued that nothing done by
the Investigating Committee had been satisfactory.
II was asserted, he said that the entire police
force must be legislated out Of office. An eminent
divine had asserted this very thing in the Senate
Chamber. Every great political and social evil
brings the views of extremists TO the surface. but
fads and theories must give way to calm. de-
liberate judgment this question here. No one
can deny that under Democratic rule south Of the
Harlem the condition of that city government de-
fled description by the human tongue Crime was
rampant and protected. The. minority report is
proof sufficient of this. The minority leader says
the Police Board became partisan only after 1892.

QUESTION OF FIGURES
IL, then read Section / Of the report and said he
deaed and challenged Senator Cantor to point ont
a single crime against the franchise not testified to
by scores OF witnesses Senator Cantor said IL
was on the record. but from n cloud of witnesses
schooled in a Republican club. Senator Lexow
continued:
Sing Sing to-day contains seventy eighty
Tammany Hall ballot-bo suffers
Senator McMahon interrupted asking where he
got these figures.
Senator Mcmahon said the truth there were
only four such prisoners and two were Repub-
Leans.
Senator Lesow insisted that there were sixty
eight at least. and that they were suffering for
