Tho Letter of Former District
Attorney Phllbln.
FIDELITY TO HIS TRUST
His Administration of the Affairs of the
Affairs of New York County Was
Non-Partisan--Democrat, but
Not a Party Man.
By Hon. Eugene A. Ph'ilbin,
' Former District Attorney of New York
County.
A partisan ? has Been defined as "one
?whoso Judgment or perception In clouded
by n prejudiced ndherenca to his party."
In that sense my administration o? the
ofllce of district attorney aaf the county of
New Yi'ilt was hon-parilsart, and not
iroin tho point of vle\*? tliat I ceased to be
u party man. 1 remained a Democrat,
bill felt that true loyalty to my parly
means fidelity to the trust to bo dls
Clinrged.
i When 1 assumed tho oflico I understood
thnt 1 had be?ti appointed as a Damn?
erai; in other words, that Qoyornor Ro?so
yolt would not have made tho appoint?
ment if I had been a Republican, but
"would have selected some Domocrat who
lio believed would administer tho office
solely in the Interest of the people. Tho
re?s?h for this was that tho official'whoso
removal made the appointment necessary
vas a Democrat; ?nul tho Governor*! with
that high regard for tho will of tho peo?
ple that baa always characterized him,
l?lt tliat th? appointee should bo of the
same political affiliations tu? the man
?elected to the; office, and whom ho hnd
[been compelled to icumve. Tina action ?at
"Mr. RoOBovolt In thus refraining from
?.'-taking ?iilvaiitiiKe f>f the occasion t'> give
Ills party a most Im'portant and valuable
?public a.iliao, was greatly appreciate?] by
the people of Now York, and I believe
?conU-lbuted mat n little to 11.e ?lection of a
Republican mayor a few months there?
after. Had he been guided by the short?
sighted policy that the distribution or
patronage was the only way t? maintain
?i party, the Republican party would have
ohjoyod tho control of tho district attor?
ney's olllco for one year, but lost the
ppporiunlty of administering**.the affairs
of the city of Now York through tho
?election of the present Republican Mayor,
Mr. Low.
A ffirlher advantage was gained by
tho appointment of a Democrat, for pub?
lic officials charged vvltli critnu were
anemia eis of tho Democratic party, and If
o Republican had instituted proceedings
against them his efforts would have been
ascribed to political motives, anal the
moral effect, If not entirely hast. Impair?
ed. .As It was, not even those? prosecuted
claimed that there was any political con?
siderations Involved In the proceedings
against them. N?r has it come to my
cars that It was claimed Hint, any undue
advantage was taken in enforcing tho law
uinla'r such circumstances.
In ti??* endeavor to bring about munici?
pal reform, the men lining subordinate
offices need ?i'.t be taken Into consldera
thjn. for It will bo l'ratuicl tliat with very
r.iva. exceptImiH they arc satlslled to per
J7.I n their full aluty, anal to iiTccl-vo no
p.?ctuii.iry advantage bthpr than the com
I" : - ?i11.m allowo'd by law. It Is l'ortu
iSiito that this Is s.a. because these mam
fire. ns a rub-. Irrevocably committee) to
public lire, ?ma! while friain time to time
political reversais may remove them from
office yet ilia- vast majority of thorn arc
certain to return at some time or other,
n;nl because or the expectation In that re?
gard, never make effort to procure other
crnployment.
The fmportnnco of this Is renllzciT**whon
Mf consider that every election ?nids to
this class by placing in ofllce of mon who
for the flif?t tliiia- enter public life. This
Is particularly true where tho successful
body is mat a regular political organiza?
tion, but colhposed of citizens who are riot
?professional pollt?tfrtns, In which event
a greater number of persons who ha-re
not previously been dependent upon poll
tics for tlia-lr living are forever more Ideii
tl/lej -.vitli Hie great army of officeholders
nml offleeseekor?.
?For this reason, apart irom nil civil
?pervice conaldorntlons, It would seem
to be clearly to tho Interests of the
comuiunltyMliat the new head of a de?
partment'" slro'uld strive, so far as pos?
sible, to retain those already therein, and
to try to get thorn hi take a truer view
of their duty to safeguard public Inter
vBts. My own experience Justifias mo In
?bfllovlng that such a course will result
In procuring better Borvlqp, not only dur?
ing tin- administration of; Ruch a do'pnrt

dinates aro certain to spend their lives
Si. public service, and therefore any?
thing that ta'iials to false their stand
nrd Is certainly conducive to the fui
thernnco of public Interests, it is also
n fact that if such men aro rotahiod by
the new ?i.lmlnlsiratlon ib.-y will not
have the ?ame selfish incentivo to work

WORK 15 BEING RUSHED ON
THE ELEGANT NEW HOTEL
THE NEW RICHMOND.
Work has already begun on Mrs. At?
kinson's new hotel, at Ninth and 'lince
Streets, and the contractors have ? i-eed
to turn the finished building over to Mrs.'
Atkinson by January 1st.
When tho building Is Dually completed
it will contain four rooms and will be en?
tirely lire-proof. The architect of this
new building Is Harrison Albright, of
Charleston, W. Va., lind A. l-\ Wlnthrdw
nud Company, of the saine city, are the
contractors.
The turning ovel of the hotel next Jan?
uary will not lriolude the. portion now
occupied by the nevl portion of the old
Bt. (.'luir. That part will be erected next
year. The plctT?re given above shows tho
hotel In Its complete shnpo.
"Tho Richmond", will lie sumptuously
furnished nnd will ho tiled and marbled.
The bricks used In the construction will
be brown, tire-black, similar to those used
I nthe construction of the Main Street
Depot. On thtr'fbp floor will lie a large
hall-room und assembly linll, nnd there
will bo two cafes, one on the Ninth
Street end, the other on Grace ' Street,
and the hotel will be run strictly on tho
European- plan.
in our municipalities is due moro to the
selfishness and cowardice of the upper
classes than to any other cause. The sub?
stantial business man, particularly If
lie has large Interests at stake, lives In
mural dread of offending the Influential
politician: Every one who lias engaged
reform work has ofton found thnt such
men, while willing to contribute thou?
sands of dollars to the moevinent. Insist
upon having their names withheld.
The corrupt politician has received con?
stant encouragement in not only the re?
spect with which he is trou ted', but also
In applications for Irregular favors. It
Is common for him to bo treated by men
of high standing as a social equal on
those public nul private occasions w|ien
they are brought together, lie Is ap?
pealed to when the law places it in his
power to exact u duty, nnd asked to.
waive it, although perhaps if the citi?
zen submitted to the law tho Inconve?
nience or expense would he comparatively
trivial, and certainly so when compared
to his civic duty.

a?hcivii tu (he policy that 1 hud .adopted,
after careful study. This was that no
thing could bo more fatal to the removal
from the olllce of the then present ad?
ministration by the election to take place
within the ?following few months than by
conducting Investigations when there
was good reason to believe they would
fall to adduce facts siilllclent to Justify
a criminal proceeding. Such ft failure
would have been considered n vindication.
Tho omission to take any action, there?

In no wiso modified, My brief experience
In the District Attorney's oillco lias sat
Isfled me thnt there is no reason Why
the people of a municipality should sub?
mit to lnlsgovernmciit. While 1 believe
that government by tin- people ends with
the election of their r?pfesentatlves, in
thi.- K?me way that th? uppolritmnt of a
trustee of ?in estate places upon him the
sole responsibility for its management,
yet It Is also my conviction that- a citi?
zen has always the right tr, call an olil
clal to account for neglect of duty. In
other words the government of tho people
anil lor the pi-opie means tluiE nu official
must nut rely upon the cnmniuiilty for
guidance ujid n?>,lco in relation to the
d'ls/shargo of his duties, hut n.usT; as?
sume the full responsibility thorefor. It
Stands in reason that any other course
would 1?. iiiadvlsalile, fur It is clearly
