The Republicans of this City are invited to choose
Delegates TO their State Convention some three
weeks hence. In view of that call, we ask the
several Ward Associations to meet by puollc ad'
vertisement at an early day. revise their several
records Of membership, striking of the names oil
oil who may have died o. removed, and give
public notice of time and place for the enrolment
Of new members. The time given for such en-
rollment should not be less than week, and the
books should be open for signature as nearly all
day. evening included, as possible. We entreat
the Republicans Of each Ward to consider this sub
ject promptly and act Oh it decisivey.
We have cast aside the debased, fraudulent, cor
rupting machinery Of the old Primary Meetings.
We will not consent that gaDgs Of bar room row.

voting everybody knows why, should impose on us
candidates to represent our principles and receive

vote at our Primary Meetings who is not known TO
be q member of our party and resident OF the
Ward in which he offers to vote. All this is right
eous and ssutary; but it involves some extra labor
and care We must be prepared TO repulse at
tempted frauds without repeling rightful claims.
Let. then, the revision of our roll. books be made
50 soon as possible. Let every knswn Republican
voter of each Ward be promptly urged to inscribe
bis lame on the let of members Of its Ward Asso-
citation; and let such advertisement be made that
none can lose his privilege to vote at our Primary
Meetings except by his own willful neglect.
Republicans of the great Emporium an arduous
contest is before us. Hitherto we have rested su-
pinely while our adversares have filled square after
square with their meetings. their denunciatOns and
their calumnes We have allowed the acts passed
for our partial deverance from the cOrruptest and
most rapaclous despotism ever endured to be will
fed from night to night, from ward to ward, as
though they were the acts of robbers rather than
of legislators. How long shall this continue Let
us mt once revive our organization aud renew our

vote of this city from 1000 to 1900 by untlrlng,

it to % 600 this Fall by kindred exertiOns. 1t is

the City Reform legislation of last Winter will con-
sent to throw away their votes on candidates who
have no chance of succeeding, aud thus surrender

In private matters, no man is moro sensitive
upon the subject of "snap judgments" than
Mayor Wood. When, many years ago, he was
compelled by certain bank to dissorge funds
credited by mistake to his account, his dislike of
such judgment was excessive. In 1851, Tor fear
that his partner, E. E. Marvine, should obtain
snap judgment against him on a charge OF felony,
be pleaded that the statute of limitations had
expired by one day. He has carefully guarded
against any snap judgment in the civil suit brought
for the partnership funds, by litigatng it from
post to pillar in the legal temple, although beaten
at every turn. But in his official capacity the
Mayor is willing enough to have snap judgments
entered, whether by secret arrangement with his
crony, Judge Russell, as in the Police case, or
with the Jealous Mr.. Lowber, whose picture
deserves to hang beside the portraits Of the wor-
thies in the Governors room, whom he has seized
for debt
Yesterday the Mayor gave new proof of the spirit
of accommodation which characterizes him in his
official relations. An ex.pOliceman named Patrick
Murphy had applied for a mandamus to compel the
Board Of Police to put him on duty, The papers
were served on the Mayor, but no intmation what
ever was given to the Board Of Police, or to the
Commissioners of whom the Mayor is not one,
since be is merely "member CT c6ieis of the
Board, and entitled to one vote at every meeting
"when present" The Mayors lawyer was on
hand with Mr.. Murphy's attorney, and everything
was ready for "snap," when Gen. Nye, who
bad smelled the thing out through the newspapers.
suddenly came into the Supreme Court, broke up
the family party, and compelled an adjournment to

The Hon. John Y. Mason, of Virginia, now
