there's no doubt of his honesty. His fayorite scheme of saving New York is to make the police a state force and put John MeGullagh in charge.
 McCullagh is a strict Presbyterian. an honest man, a stern disciplinarian. Devery, the present chief, was accused by Dr. Parkhurst of the worst kind of Jobbery, and Parkhurst stood ready to prove his case,
 It's queer thing, but a good thing to restore ones faith in human nature; although the police do the dirtiest of the dirty work of the spoiIsmen who are now robbing New York, the rank and file are secretly in favor of Me Cullagh. As for Roosevelt, the strict est commissioner of public works we ever had, they idolize him. Four of them left the force to join the rough riders, and the police vote went to Roosevelt last fall in spite of orders from headquarters.
 The police force would be all right with an honest administration, demo- cratic or republican. or by whatever name you might call 1t.
