GESTLEMEN: / heg TO acknowledge the receipt Of
your communication, and to reply frankly, that while
qualifications for the Office Of Mayor you have not,
/ trust, done more than justice to my honesty OF
purpose. / agree uDhesitatngIy with you, that
Considerations aside from, and far above, those OF
party, are involved in the approaching Municipal
Election.
Our miseoverned City must be redeemed, and placed
in the position which, by its magnitude wealth. and
vast commercial Importance, 1t rs entitled; III has
now the reputation Tor more properly the shamel OF
being one OF the most unclean, dsordey, and loosely
governed cities in the Union. Ii has suffered not only
in character but in its trade, commerce and capital
from this cause The lax administration OF Its laws,
the corruption in the distribution OF its patronage the
filthy condition Of its thoroughfares, and the lack OF
doe protection for the lives aud the property OF its
citizens have rendered 1t. name byeword In rival
cities who have been only too ready TO turn to ac-
count these drawbacks upon lite unequaled advan-
tsges.
AZ one Of its citizens bound to it by the ties Of
home and family Of personal interest, and Of early
associations, having lived here all my life, aud ex
pectng to die here have the strongest possible mo-
tves for desiring honest, energetic and economical
management Of it, public affairs.
Should the duties Of the Mayoralty devolve upon
me- this much can at least promise: The laws shall
be sterly end fearessy executed 20 far az their en-
forcement depends upon the action and influence Of
the Mayor. And, further, heartily promise, II
elected TO spare possible effort to remove filth and
Of eur taxes now almost beyond endurance, and to
curteil the public expenditures, now 0ntstrlpping
those Of many States combined. Uncontrolled BY any
pledges TO perty, or TO individuals and untra mmeed
by any obligation can respond freely and chsenany
in the affirmative TO all the questions 50 ably pub "
