The names of W. G. Scarritt and
R. L. Gregory. the two gentlemen
appointed police commissioners by
Gov. Stephens, to succeed Messrs
Fyke and johnson, were sent to the
Senate for confirmation by Gov.
Stephens Tuesday. It is said the
two gentlemen are eminently quail
fed for the important position and
their appointment gives general sat
isfaction to the citizens Of Kansas
City, and will meet with no opposi
tion in the Senate.
The selection of Messrs. Scarritt
and Gregory is the happy ending of
one of the most disgraceful squad
bles that has taken place in Kansas
City in many years, and the entire
State will be glad to know that the
affair has finally been amicably
settled.
II the statements OF the Kansas
City papers are to be relied upon,
Kansas City for the past year under
the regime of Messrs. Fyke and
johnson, police commissioners, has
been a paradise for gamblers and the
city has only had it's equal in the
balmiest days of Leadville.
The agitation of the papers and
general opposition to the admins

by these two latter gentlemen, whose
names had been presented to the
Senate by Gov. Stone for confrma-
lion, just prior to the expiration of
ais term of Office, were held up until |
IN Investigation could be had by |
Senate committee. This committee
spent several days in Kansas CITY
