1t is an old story, but has not APP
peared in the public prints, that the
Ohio county ring is responsible for the
candidacy of Capt Bennett. 1t was
generally understood when he retired
from the office OF Chief Of Police that
he was candidate for Sheriff. He
was talked of in that connection for
some time, but made no public avowal
of his candidacy. Then, SO the story
goes, the ring" leaders induced him
to withdraw from the race, offering as
a consideration their support of his
candidacy for Chief of Police.

Joseph Bero, one of the guards at the
State prison in Moundsvilie, is said to
have confided to his intimate friends
that he will soon announce his candi-
daey for the Republican nomination
for Chief of Police. Mr.. Bero was
candidate two years ago. His entrance
into the fight this time will further
complicate the situation, and the quar-
tette of aspirants will make the munic-
ipai campaign very lively. Chief Glenn
ans friends insist that he is entitled
to denomination, not only because it is
in accordance with precedent, but be-
cause he has made a good record in
the Office. Ex-Chief Thos. D. Bennett
has large following, and it is said
that several members of Chief Glenn
ans force are quietly working for him.
Joseph McCausland was an officer un-
der both Bennett and Clemans, and
will have many friends working for
him.

pointees after the first six months without cause.
Cause means, in the ordinary sense Of the word,
those charges. Bringing charges and sustaining
them in a legal way is sometimes a most diff
ficult thing to do, even when IL is known beyond
doubt that an officer is incompetent. In some
cities with modern charters power has been

When Chief Purifier Nixon. Of the Tammany
Committee OF Five was told by reporters last night
that the gambling houses which closed up for
day or two while Devery was on vacation were
nearly all open again yesterday, and that Cort-
rights order to the captains to shut them UP had
thus been practically ignored, Mr.. Nixon said
ponderously:
Then 50 much the worse for them" This had
solemn sound. but the public is not looking for
sound or even solemnity so much as for action
Assistant Purifier Platzek seemed to sum up the
publfcs opinion of this committee pretty accurately
yesterday when he said:
It seems that no matter what we do for the
good Of the people we are only rewarded by sneers
md derision. 1 suppose virtue in case will be
our only reward.
Charles Stewart Smith is generally acknowledged
be a good judge of and one not given 70
talking on subjects which he does not fully under
stand. He said yesterday:
The action of Tammany's committee will not
throw dust in the eyes of anybody very long The
fact OF the matter Is that many of the influential
gamblers themselves would like see the small
fry driven out of the business. The Tammany
purifiers can therefore, actually close up a hundred
more Of these smaller places and serve a double
purpose The pur1ners viii not only he playing TO
ingratiatinc themselves with the big gamblers and
the leaders of Tammany Hall who alone would
have the power 10 close up the Influential gamblers

will profit immensely by this famboyant display of
virtue by the Tammany Vice Committee. About

Mr. Philbin spent much of the afternoon in
the District Attorneys Office. He said he could
not talk about his plans until he had more ac-
quaintance with the office. He told the staff
that there would be immediate changes in
their ranks. The first official act of District At
torney Philbin was the placing Of his signature
to two indictments recently found by the Grand
Jury. The first was the Indictment found
