When the police commtulon meet, n L-‘ Monday night to elect a aucceaaor to former Police Captain Moon, there la a "rong probability that a deadlock will result on the queatlon of civil eervlce end that no raptaln will he choien.

City Attorney Mayson some time ago submitted a ruling, which. In effect, declares there Is no civil service in the department, and thla opinion will play a part In the proceedings of Monday ight. On request of one of the com- ..ilailoners. the city attorney has fur- nlshed him with a copy of the opinion. The city council, U will be remembered, censored the old hoard for Its action, and thla resolution of censure will also probably be Introduced.

Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky: "I have long been of the opinion that Mr. Bryan would be the party's nominee In 1*01. He will enter that conteet far stronger than aver before, and I be lieve he will be elected over any man whom the Republicans can name." Congressmen Timothy Sullivan, of New York: “Bryan will be the next nominee end the next preeldent of the United States. New York will go Into the convention with a solid Bryan del egation, and-Richard Croker will head It.
