We also elect under our charter government sixty

the Board OF Aldermen, enc from each of the odd
wards Of our city-eleven In all. There are some
other minor Off ers to be elected. The election Of
80 many important officers will render the approach
ing eli seton one of great interest.
II Is too early yet to speculate as to who will get
these important nominations of the respective par
ties, Wig aid democratic; and 1t may 80 happen
in some ,ases that the nominees of neither Of these
pa ties will be elected several independent can
didates will be IN the field.
CANDIDATES FOR GovERNoR.-The hard shells
are the first in the field. Gen. C. Bronson is tne
only man yet brought forward by patty CONVEX
ton. He is on adamantine democrat, opp ,sed to
both the State and national administrations. Tue
colts were reaey to tender nomination to Judge
Vanderbilt, who is as lar Bronson, had the lat
ter declined the nomination. But Bronson's &C.
ceptante has frustrated their plan Of operation.
Governor Seymour il now regarded as the only
available candidate Of tie softs, with whom they
hope, should he accept, to poll more votes than the
haIds will cast for Bronson. IRE wings have not
yet msde much noise about their candidate, though
many seem to favor the nomination of Judge Camp
tell, who win get not only the whig vote, but, Ills
ifit Ids claim the great body Of the Know Nothings
washington Hunt 10 urged In tie rural districts.
Thomas X. Whitney has also been named.
For MAYOR.-The wings have spoken Of ex AID
efman Isaac 0. Baker. n. r. Brewer and j. W.
Barker for this high Office. The latter named gentle
man 10 one OF tho finn Of Barker & Towle, and is
Gratis bave Damed, in barroom circles, such men Is
VIM. N. Tweed and Fernando Wood, who, II nomi.
dated, will show the precise difference between
being noidate and being elected. John r.
Br,ggf, Wm r. Hayemeyer Andrew II. Mickle,
James =. Libby, and Augustus hell are among
the nominees spoken Of by democrats for the Mayor
atty. ANY one OF these men would make resOec-
table run and their nominations would DO crcditsbe
to the party.
For Observation-Disclosures W. Bradford, the
present wblg incumbent, will be strong candidate
for reelection. Tie democrats talk Of nominating
VIM. J. Haskell, or Clinton Haring.
For Recorder The wings have named Frede-
rick A. TalmadRe and Judge Bebee The democrats
have talked Of Edward G. West, Chauncey Shaffer,
and Daniel B. Taylor.
For CITY JupGE.-Judee Bebee, the present whig
incumbent, Is strong man with the wings, If the
policemen do not upset him. Judge Stewart is also
very popular. The demo- rats have mentioned Carrot
cell.
F0R REGIsTER.-The wings have named John J.
DosIe, George Rblet and Olcott Rhines; and the
democratic have named J. Sherman BrowneI. These
are all pretty strong men. Others talked Of but
these seem the most prominent.
FOR STREETS AND LAMPs.-Tte wings have
named Christian W; Schaffer, and James Dewey;
Sweet, and George G. Glazier. Mr.. Schaffer seems
very popular and biz friends confidently asset that
he will be nominated and elected. The democrats
seem Just as certain about the of Mr. Good
ersoD, but they don't seem to take into cousioera-
ticn that the dsupioDs and dissensions in their
RAJ ks viii defeat the best nominees.
For CoNGREss.-Tbere are q great number Of
capdida,es on both Sides The wings have named
George Briggs, Henry J. Raymond, E astus Brooks,
Thomas r. Whitney, William 8. Gregory, and Geo.
]. Cornell. The democrats have named David o.
Keefe, John Y. Savage, Mike Walsh, John Kelly,
John Wheeler, James L. Curtis, Edward G. West,
Augustus A. Conovtr, and Others. II Is too soon to
speculate as to who will be nominated.
The excitement Is just getting up, and the glori-
ous times are at hand. We have heard Of several
weeks will tell who are the lucky or unlucky men,
