THE ELECTION TODAY.

1t seems to us hardly necessary to urge the
Republicans of Worcester to be at the polls to.
day and vote for their candidates for the
various municipal offices. No man will ques-
ton Mr.. Rice's competency to fill the of
fee of Mayor, and he has been placed in
nomination by caucus in which large
majority of the party was present. Let him
have such vote at the polls as will show
that the whole force Of the party is now and al
ways ready to sustain nominations when
made fairly and by such significant caucus de-
monstrations. The candidates for Mayor and
Aldermen will of course be elected /; but we
should do all in our power to make their ma
jorities as large as possible They are worthy
of a cordial and. earnest support. Let them
have it; and thus we shall discharge an i'm
portant duty to the city and to ourselves.
On the ticket for Aldermen, two changes
have been made. In wards one and two,
Messrs Russell and Wheeler have declined,
and Messrs. Alexander Thayer and Albert
Tolman have been nominated in place Of
them. The nominations made by the Repub-
lcans for Counclmen are peculiarly good, and
consist of men of experience, ability, and char
acter. The ticket represents many of the best
interests of the city, and is one which may be
with safety supported by all who have due
regard for its welfare and prosperity. We hope
to announce, tomorrow morning, its election
by at least five hundred majority. The polls
will be open from o'clock A. M. to P. NJ
Sometimes we approach an election with
much more excitement and stir than are visi-
BILE now and, at such times, the vote is sure
to be large For once, let us give our candi-
dates large vote without much preliminary
preparation. 1t is never well to assume that
our votes can be spared because the result sis
certain" Too much careless confidence like
this would make it uncertain and, besides, it
is frequently the case that our votes are never
so much wanted as at times when we are sure
that they are not necessary. In any case, it
is a duty to vote, in our own country. where
the people are directly responsible for the op-
Grafton and success Of free institutions. If we
will not vote, we must not complain of results;
and if our discharge of this duty is regulated
by any low or unworthy Influence, we are not
true to ourselves, or to the community in
which we live
We think it is well for the Republican party
to make itself responsible for the management
of our municipal affairs. That party has so
large majority here, that Republicans cannot
entirely escape the responsibility under any
arrangement. Therefore, it is doubtless wiser
for them to meet aud assume it in the most di-
rect manner. When the responsibility rests
on the party, every Republican will have in
this fact motive to watch the proceedings of
the city government closely, and with rea-
sonable solicitude to have everything done in
the best manner. Such scrutiny cannot fail of
wholesome effects. AT any rate, the expert
ment will be tried, the coming year.
