ee BY POLICE commrs- SIONER PARTRIDGE. My deputies are military men, accustomed to dealing with large bodies of me: Neitber is a martinet. g@ strong disciplinartan. Not being politicians, they have no friends to reward nor ene- mies to punish, I have known Col. Thurston twenty years and Major Ebstein two years, but Thurston has known Ebstein twenty years, Each $3 Police Commissioner Partridge an- nounced the following appointments to-day: LIEUT.-COL. NATHANIEL BLUNT THURSTON, of the National Guacd, to be First Deputy, to ancceed Devery in Manhatt. MAJOR FRED HW. FE. EnsT! U.S. A., retired, to be Second Dep- uty, to eucceed Bernard York in Brooklyn. CAPT, A. L. ROBERTSON, of the National Guard, to be private sec- retary. The announcements were made this morning at Col. Partridge’s home in Brooklyn. They have a distinctly military flavor and seem to indicate that the police force will have to walk the chalk line of military dis- cipline. While neither of the deputies was the first chotce of the Republican organiza- tions In New York and Kings Countles, yet there is said to be entire satisfac- tion on the part of both machines at both selections.
