uClTY REFORM"

AS was stated in our last, the Committee ap-
pointed some two years since to engineers reform
in our abominably mismanaged Municipal con-
Germs, held meeting on Monday evening-which
we are sure cannot have been fully attended-and
nominated the following ticket to be supported at
our approaching election:
For Cont,oner-AZARlAH c. FLAGG:

Nearly every one of these candidates had already
a nomination of some sort +; perhaps DR.. Grscom
is the only exception, and he is one of the best Of
the lot He has made infection, epidemics and
their causes a study; he has ideas of his own; he
would really try to make the Inspectors Office
barrier against pestilence and he is very unlikely
to steal. In shert, be is the best man who has
been proposed for City Inspector for several years
past we fear he is better than can be elected
Mr.. Flagg has not been so useful and valuable to
the city as he has honestly sought to be; but he
has tried to diminish aud impede public robbery,
and great many x.payers have resolved to vote
for him any how, in acknowledgment Of the good
be has medtated But Mr.. Flag must be more
circumspect as to the company he keeps, or his
good name will prove evanescent The opinion is
becoming very general that Fernando Wood is the
same desperate rogue he used to be, and not the
upright, efficient public servant that lie seemed for
time after bis election to strive to be. Mr.. f must
put up over his door "No connection with the head
IMAM over in the other building" and No more
Joseph Walker jobs whitewashed here or his
once enviable reputation will soon be out at the
elbows.
Mr. Havemeyer is man of the sort contem-
plated by the act putting charitable establish
ments under the supervision Of a Board of Cover
nOrs, to be chosen by the People in equal numbers
from adverse parties. His nomination is one emf
nently " fl. to be made
The nominations of Judges Hoffman and Wood
ruff for reelection was matter of course. They
have served unexceptionably, and it is rather
favor to the community for such men to con-
sent to serve rs Judges But on what
principle was Judge Cowles discarded : He is
not an old Judge, but he is very good one. We
have the testimony Of some Of our best lawyers
that they have never seen better Judge, all tangs
considered, on our Bench. He is ever courteous
painstakiDg, unprejudiced, and competent jurist
Mr. Whiting, it may be said, has had more expe-
Renee; and his ability no man will dispute. Yet
We by no means question his integrity in saying
that there is no other man living by whom we
should so dislike to be tried if be had imbbed
prejudice against our case as by James r. Viii
ting 1t is utterly inexcusable that Reform Com
mittee, pledged to present the best men without
