ALDERMANIC JOBBING.
AT the Tammany General Meeting on Thurs
day evening, Alderman Moses @. Leonard report
ed and read an Address, in which he sets forth
that certain Wing Aldermen have been guilty of
supplying articles in their several lines of bust
meas for the use and consumption of the City.
This, if true, is censurable. because liable TO
great abuse. He docs not charge or hint that
such articles were not Furnished as low as any
one else would have furnished them-but the pr,n-
cipe is still bad; for if one may do this honestly
this year, and to the manifest advantage Of the
City, next year other Aldermen may do it at ex
orbi,ant prices, and, passing each others bills,
virtually plumber the City 1t must be stopped.
Blu, what mus. the reader think of the super.
lative audacity of this Alderman Leonard. in
bringing the simple fact that goods had been Pnr
chased of Wing Aldermen for the City as rea-
son for electing Loco ocos 10 Office, when ii Is
known that his colleague, Aid Lee, at this mo-
ment candidate for reelection from the Seven
teenth Ward, not only sold la,ge amount Of
lead to the City, but charged moot ezorbitant
price for IL, and tried TO conceal tie whole t-ans-
sesion by making out The bill in the name Of
" Bunting e. Co."-Bunting being the name Of
his o,on clerk The very men who yelled appro-
val of this Address in Tammany walked straight
home to the Seventeenth Ward TO hurrah and
vote for this same Frederick r. Lee for Alderman
again!
