Fxpress. is the Republican nominee and has been IN
o,sed by large number Of citizens OF all parties
He is now a member, aud Chairman Of the Finance
Committee, where he has saved the city many thou
sand dollars this year We hope he may serve in the
same position next year. The Democrats have nomi-
mated a liquoT-dealer, Joseph hcGnire a new man
in school matters Hard work will elect Mr.. Cushing,
and his election viii pay for great deal Of bard work.
EIGHTEESrH WARD.-HeDry A. Hurlbut, Of the
firm Of Swift & Huhbut, has the Republican nonlina-
ton. We have already spoken of him, aud he will
probably be elected. VIM +. Curtis, lawyer and
present member, IL the Democratic nominee. He oP-
poeed the famous bylaw compelingthe reading Of the
Bible in all the schools believing that the Board had
no night to pass it. and that it would lead to expensive
litigation, which would only demonstrate that fact
With, perhaps, this exception, we do not remem-
Der single instance during the last two years in
which his vote and influence have not been on the
right side. The fact that the Democrats feel compelled
10 run 80 gOOl nun rLoNs TINT nave hste
deDee in their strength in this Ward.
NISE1EEsTH WARD.--Addison Brown, lawyer, a
new man, has received the Republican and Peoples
nomination. George Weir, ex-Assemblyman, and an
old School Commissioner, has the nomination of the
united Democracy; the chances are in his favor
TwES1IETH WARD.-Of Hubberd G. Stone, the
Republican candidate, have already spoken. He
can be elected if too many taxpayers votes are not
wasted Oh John Hooper, Peoples nominee. Mr.. Stone
has been school officer. Edwin Dobbs, Tammany,
is an old school officer. Andrew McGlynn is the
Mozart candidate.
TwESIY-FIRST WARD.-Lewis s. Thomas lawyer
is the Republican and Peoples candidate. A. v.
Stout City Cham berlain s said TO be the nominee Of
the Democracy. If consents to run, all the energies
of the Republicans can hardly save Mr.. Thomas.
TwESTT-sEcoSD WARD.-Alexander Perry is the
Republican nominee, and John 0'Keefe, stage-proprie
tor and present member, the nominee Of the Democ-
racy.
Oftbe Commissioners whose terms expire, nine ere
not in the field for reelection. We name them by
Wards:
l. John O'Grady of the Stevens House. He has
been very good officer, much better than the First
Ward usually sends.
". Thomas Fitzgerald makes way for his col
league of 1855, Eugene Shine.
vi. Richard Barry, liquor dealer, who was SEN
fenced about year ago three months on Backwels
Island for a grave assanlt in house of prostitution,
leaves the Board being promoted by his party, Mozart
Hall, to the Aldermsnc ticket
VIII William Bloomfield, lawyer, retires from the
board. His loss will be very considerable. The
Bible men will probably lose vote here
TX. Geo. White, the retiring member, has been
the object of much abuse, more, think, than be de-
served. lie has been leading member Of the Even
ing Schools and Supply Committee, and has looked ont
for bis friends, but credit should ever have been
given to the ISLANDERS connecting his name with that of
a female principal in his Ward.
KILL Adoniah Brummel, the retiring member
was one of the earliest Of the bylaw in re-
letion to the reading of the Bible Without his per-
sstent presentation Of it, it would never have been
passed.
XIX. Hugh McCabe, who makes way for Mr..
W err has done very little but vote, and there has
been a remarkable harmony between his votes and
these of George White.
Xxx. Oliver H. Lee, the retiring member, has been
quiet and efficient.
XXI DIR. Lafayette Ranney has usually been num-
bered on the side of economy With the exception of
bis devotion to the governing clique of the Free Acad-
emy his course in the Board has been for the best in
terest Of the schools
