TIN TaxrAYERs AND THE LEGr,IarURE.-As
the day OF election draws near, the attention Of
the people Of this city seems to be directed more
especially to the conics, in Congressional dir
tricts than to matters in which We all have a
nearer interest. We refer particularly 10 the
choice Of the city members of the next Assembly.
They are directly identified with our local
affairs. and have q voice in the arrangement Of
the ,as levy--a matter Of eight or ten millions
Of dollars. which comes out Of the pockets Of the
taxpayers of The metropolis A. the country
members know but little Of city affairs, and de-
pend for information Of them chiefly upon the
city delegation the latter have, or would if the
delegation was good enough 10 inspire conf
dence. the whole matter Of city taxation In their
own hands. As a general rule. through the
negligence Of the respectable part Of the commu-
nifty and the cxcrtions Of political bullics, the
city delegation Mt Albany has been Of the poorest
stuff that can be imagined. We have sent men
who had nothing at stake in the city people with
out means or character. whose only idea in going
to Albany bas been TO make a. much moacy rs
possible for themselves, and pile up the taxes
upon their constituents. This must be reformed
altogether, and We call upon the taxpayers If
each Assembly district 20 scru,inize carefully the
names presented as candidates for tie Lcgisa-
ture. II il not party question, but one of To-
cal and financial interest. II il in the power Of
the Legislature to arrest the food of city expcn-
diture by refusing to sanction cxtravagant items
in the tax list, and we must have men nj Albany
who are directly interested in the work Of re-
,renchmcnt Probably many of the Assembly
candidates are not taxpayers. All such should
be allowed to attend to their affairs At home and
solid men who do pay taxes sent 10 Albany. II
is an easy matter for every voter to find out for
whom he is voting, and we repeat our call upon
the taxpayers to select their Asscmblymen from
their own ranks.
