PRICE TWO CENTS. She AGAINST 04NBI.I9K). THE FIRST APPOINTMENT. WITH CLOSED DOORS. AT Tlit- President Starts on a Duel 11 ii nt i Expedition.

Mayer-select Nausea Daalel a. Olfl far Chief al Police. About two week ago, Tbb Cbitio inti mated pretty plaiuly tbat Constable Daniel Girt, of tbe Fourth Ward, would be Chief Police under Mayor-elect Lebr. Th prediction is now a fact, as, at three o'clock yes terday afternoon, tha appointment was publicly announced by Col. Lebr.

Constable Gift hat had previous experleuc the management ot a police force, having served as chief under Mayors Good and Young during a period of three years, beginning iu Spring of 1875, and it Is a matter ot rec ord and often spoken of by many of our cit izens with pride, tbat Aiieutown never bad a better, more faithful set of officers tbau theu. For this reason, Mayor-elect Lear's action meets with very general approval, aud we believe the people will not be disappointed in their expectation that, tor three year to come, tbey will have a police administration for which tbey will neither have to blush nor apologise. Chief Gift, wbo is 49 year of age, it asnan flu phytique, and will make a model offl cer ia uniform. For.4 year past, hat been constable of the Fourth Werd, his popularity with the people enabling him to elect himself annually in this usually solid Republic ward. Tbe patrolmen will, In all probability, be announced ou Monday next, and we believe when the names are published, they will give fully as good aatief action a that of th mas wbo will be In authority over them.
