Undr the auspices OF the present, but much abused

FGeper commencement will be made.
CITY railroads have worked well wherever they
lasu been tried. They have been sources Of great
pnhlIc convenience. They have contributed to pri-
yate interests n ali respects they have been benefi
Gil. ma 10 none detrimental. Consequently, their
popularity y unbonnded.
Ihe new system, inaugurated by the Council, is
1bout 70 60 into effect II is generally popular with
~ masss. It has been favored, we believe, by every
Joarna in tho city, and it promises the most auspi.
clous and advantageous results
Shall this system be killed Off? That is the CUES.

say emphatcaFy, no!
Ths system is in danger, and in danger from the
Independent ticket, supposing that, by any posi-
success could attend 1t. We understand that
to 4 least Of the most prominent gentlemen on that
tcket are deadly in their hostility to the city railroad
system! Elect them and then, perhaps, the great
