CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD OF EDU-
CATION.

CATION.
! We give our usual review of the candidates for
7 the office of Commissioner Of Schools. As to the
Importance of electng good men, we need only say
that the next Board of Education will expend
81, 800 900.
In the First Ward, William Gennett who has
been a school officer for some years, has received
the nomination of both Tammany and Mozart. The
people of the Ward, dissatisfied with his action,
especially in reference to his alleged connection with
some exorbitant bills and the obstacles thrown
by him in tie way of the building of the schools
house, have nominated James Woods, who, we are
assured can be elected. La the Second Ward, VIM.
III. Maloney, new man in school matters, having
received the nomination of both branches of the De-
mocracy, will probably be elected. In the Third
Ward, Edwin d. Heath school officer Of some
years standing, and with coed reputation as such,
will receive but little opposition James Riley is the
Tammany nominee in the Fourth Ward. He is prn.
cipaly known from being the owner of very large
number of very cheap grogshOps, and his action In
the Board Of Trustees, of which he has been con-
trolling member for some years, has been such as to
prevent proper provision for the schools in this
Ward. The Mozart faction has nominated a MIR.
Meade, a man who has had no experience in school
matters. The people, DESTROYS of change for the
better, have nominated Henry @. Leash, an
honest and competent man, who will do much, if
elected, to redeem the reputation of the Ward. In
the Fifth Ward, James NJ. Tuthill is renominated
by the Citizens Party, which has for many years
controlled the School Board in this Ward, greatly to
its advantage. Mr.. Tuthi is opposed by Thomas
Francis Weaver, Mozart, and VIM. II. Johnston,
National Union; but the People Of the Ward know
him, and viii give him large majority. In the
Sixth Ward, Timothy Brennan, one of the solid
men of the Board, has been renominated by the Re-
publicans and Tammany. Mozart has nominated
four men, all Of whom have refused to against
Mr.. Brennan. In the Seventh Ward, Daniel Coger,
another solid man, a spar-maker, has been renomi-
ated by the Citizens Party. William Gayle, who
received the nomination Of both Tammany and Mo-
zart approaching Mr.. Coger's course in the Board,
has declined in bis favor. The politicians of those
parties have, however, nominated Bernard Smyth,
who we hope, may be well beaten. In the
Eighth Ward Edwin Wainwright is the nominee
Of the Tammany and Mozart and Walter Adams
Of the Republicans and Citizens. Neither has
had any connection with the schools. MIR.
Adams is less a politician than Mr.. Wainwright,
and is fully indorsed by William Tucker and the more
substantial citizens Of the Ward. We hope be will
be elected In the Ninth Ward the Republicans have
nominated Jacob c. BogeTt Mozart, A. G. Bogert
and Tammany, John Nash. All are reputable men,
but the Republican candidate is the only man of
school experience and his election is conceded. In
the Tenth Ward Daniel Slo,e is the nominee Of Tam
many and Mozart, and Joseph w. Lester Of the Re-
publicans' and Peoples parties. Mr.. Lester is avery
reputable man. and great efforts are being made es
pecially BY the Germans TO elect him; if they
coed, the Ward will be the gamer. Samuel Acker
| il nominated in the Eleventh Ward by the
BOole faction, and Richard L. Laremore by the
Kelly faction. Both are School officers, and have
the reputation Of being good School officers. Mr..
Acker is fayorably known one Of the officers Of
the Superior Court, and will probably be elected.
Charles Boice ia the Tammany nominee in the
\ Twelfth Ward and S. A. Hills the Republican. Mr..
Boce is now Chairman Of the Board Of School off
GERS, and Mr. Hiils, as Inspector, has done good
service by exposing and defeating several attempts
on the pant Of iobbers to defraud the eiysttempts
which, by some means, escaped the attention Of the
Board Of Trustees and for which the Finance Com
lnittee Of the Board Of Education has severely
censured them. Mr.. Hills deserves 10 be elected, but
Boice is the candidate Of Aid. Genet who il power
in this Ward John II. TraPpis nominated by Tam
many in the Thirteenth Ward, and Charles Shaver
by Mozart and the Republicans Both are young
men and neither has been connected with schools
Mr.. Shaver will probably be elected. In the Four.
teenth Ward, William Wilhelm, blind manu-
facturer, is the Tammany and Mozart can
didate and will probably be elected. Fran
els OReilly, hack-driver, has Independent
nomination. In the Fifteenth Ward, Edward
Robinson r., son of the famous orientast, has the
Republican nomination. and the support Of the cti-
zens generally. The Democrats, however, yesterday
nominated d. w. blanchard against him. Sam
uel b. II. Vance, Republican, and VIM. Jay
Haskett, Democrat, are nominees in the Six
teenth Ward. Mr. Haskell has been in the Board
before, where his eccentrcites attracted some stten
ton; he is now one of the Excise Commissioners
Mr. Vance is the present incumbent, is a man of
probity, education and ability, and will doubt be
reelected. In the Seventeenth Ward, Henry A. Burr
merchant, Republican, Jas. NJ. Miller builder, Tam
many, and Patrick Mccormick, hquor-seller Mozart,
are the nominees. The contest is between Mr.. Burr
and Mr. Miller both Of whom are prominent Trus-
tees Of the Fire Department. Aside from political
considerations Mr.. Burr is the preferable man.
VIM Z. Curtis, the present President of the Board
Of Education has the Peoples, Tammany, and No
Fart nominations in the Eighteenth Ward. His
course in the Board can be safely approved by all
parties. Mr.. Lemuel Bangs is the nominee of the
Taxpayers and Union parties. In the Nineteenth
Ward Patrick Ford, the present Commissioner, is
renominated by Tsmmauy and Mozart. As one of
the Committee of the School Board Of this Ward he
recommended the purchase from the agent Of lots for
school building at price o, 500 more than the
same lots afterward offered to the Board for by
the real owners. He has no qualification for the
noson excenf that he keena smali linnor ahon and
