item.
We have been requested from various quarters, anc
by of all parties TO state canddly, honestly and
clearly what our impressions are, touching the cleo
ton that will take place in this city for Mayor and
Aldermen next week.
We have no objections. We acknowledge no tram
mels-and no reservations. We are beyond the reach
of all and every party and can afford to tell the truth
of all. Our support comes from men of intelligence
independent in thought honorable in principle, deny
ing the night and authority of any party TO check the
natural operations of thought and mind. Let us pro-
cecd therefore and state the case fully and phloso
phically.
Both parties have nearly completed their nomina-
ions-and both have held their general public meet
ngs Among the wings there has been a good deal
Of zeal, but the crowds and animation in Masonic
Hail have no. been equal to those of the democrats
at Tammanv Hall. Bat details.
Since the last election the Tammany party has
been at work. night and day. in season. and out OF
season. They have brought the Cus,sm House by
the removal of Mr.. Swartwout and the appointment
Of Mr. Hoyl, TO bear most essentially on the move
ments OF parties. They have also awaited them
selves OF the unfortunate and bloody business Of Mr..
Webb, at Washington, and the still more ridiculous
publications made by Mr. Charles King and his silly
clique, apologisng for conduct that never can be
smoethed over. On the bank question: they have
also used most dexterousy the personal and male
VIOLENT conduct Of The Board If Trade towards the
Phenix Bank-ihe ridiculous sentiments of Sid
ney" in the Commercial" and the equally ridicu-
lous fooerlcs of Major Noah, in the Star-to say
nothing of the silly conduct Of the Wing General
Committee, which every now and thea, starts up in
passion, condemnlng this newspaper for this senti-
ment-and that newspaper for the other sentiment.
Since the triumph, Unexpectedly acquired by
the wings at the last fall election, no sci or clique o.
men have taken greater pains 10 damn their own
cause, by every kind of selfish, foolish personal win
dIctye course of conduct, than certain portions o
those called the leaders Of the wing party. The due
of Cilley and Graves the gaucheries Of the ncwspa
pers-the persecution of the Phenix Bank, have al
been seized upon by the democrats and turned every
form and shape TO work for their advantage. Amons
the great body Of the sensible wings, these things
have been pondered on, and deplored
From these events coupled with the zeal, madness
and activity Of the democrats, impression has been
generated iha, the wings will lose the election in part
if not the whoe-thais 10 say that they may reelec,
Mr. Clark Mayor but that they stand a slim
chance Of carrying majority Of the wards, and
hence getting again the corporation with all It's pa
tronagc
Now on this state OF things we have our own
views--snd here they are.
A political revolution began in this csuntry, with
the year 1897 During the whole period Of General
yacksons two terms the effects Of his financial
sures were not developed The country was prosper
Gus from 1929 up to 1886, in spite Of kitchen finance
In the fall of that year, the seed by Amos Ken
dali began to shoot up, and symptoms u Revision

burst forth in great fury in the spring Of 1897 With
this financial explosion began the revolution in pslt
cal thought and action. The higher classes Of socet,

strong powerful and deep political change was work

During the last year these changes have character
