Remarks on the aboue.
Our grumbhng correspondent shall not com
PLAN that tbs communication was kicked under
the table-he has it here as large as life, and as
conspicuous as we can make it. We ask INN
and his brother rrunlble1s to give US credit for so
much And now a few words of comment

candidates for Office are selected yet proposes no
specific remedy If he will briefly and PLAINLY
poilt out a less exceptionable and talrer mode OF
selecting candidates or Nominating Committees,
We will publish it. Mere fault finding Is OF little
use. We have nercr refused to publish any com
munication suggesting different u:o6e
2. His grumbling at the Wing Common Coun-
Gil is pa-t,y we'll founded and partly not. Does
he not know that the Common Council has no
porey to overthrow the present Police System
and establish such a one as he would like on Its
ruins, but by consent of the Legislature II he
does know It, he treats the Council ntcst unfairly
II he does not, he shorld inform himself before ne
grunbIes.

been chosen alderman over an upright and highly
esteemed magistrate by some FIVE hundred Loco

Of evil rcpu,c was run upon the Wing ticket.
4. As TO our candidate Cor Mayor, VIC advoca-
ted his noniaat;on AID election because we knew
him to be an upright deserving and capable WIG
On all general grounds comparing favorably with
his opponent VIC did think it circumstance "

and that white his opponent was nursed in the

heartcr good Will on that account, and we ap-
pealed to OR BROTHER Wings who are Working

had placed in nomination we supported Robert
Smith the more cordially that VIC knew Elm as a

was 10, 9 erStCl candidate for Mayor, we
knew 10. where such a candidate s to be found
And we must say that those who do moi knoa

of the wing Charter tickets and obtained more
votes ;Iian were erer given for any Wing candi
date for Mayor, except Aaron Clark. That he is
badly beaten, notwithstanding, is most true b'i
he is so beaten simply because 10000 Loco-Fo
