OUR ELECTION AHEAD.

The Tammany and Mozart machines on Sat.
urday added Aid. FRANCIS i. A. BOOLg (now
City lnspector) to the number Of candidates for
The Moyoralty of our City at her ensuing Char
ter Election. This nomination was made with.
ont contest, and Is understood to have been
agreed and paid for in the arrangements pre-
coding our late State Election. The nominee
is man Of considerable energy, unrepelling
manners, and fair personal popularity. He Is
he third candidate a. yet nominated-C. God
frey Gunther (M'koon) and Orison Blunt Qn-
dependent Union) having formally taken the
field before him.
Individually, B)ole - not q bad follow, and
politically he has hitherto held aloof from our
'Nalandigham faction whereof the Woods are
| the engineers and their DAILY Ne,cs the organ.
True, he is now their candidate, and will re.
ceive their support; but he is not one OF those
who would like to zee the flag Of the Union
lowered TO the rag Of jeff. Davis. II be has
any leanings toward q Copperhead surrender to
taken him for.
But on the main point now in issue he is
wrong-utterly, incurably wrong. He belongs
to and is the candidate OF those who regard tho
City Government as q mine to be worked for
the benefit Of "the party and the workers.
Mr.. Boole has now been u leading member Of

wherein his voice has been raised against one OF
these public r0bbcres' Call over the long list

common fame greatly bellies him, he was for
years, and probably still il, q member OF that
potent, interruptions Ring" which has levied

proceeds equitably among it, members. And
he is to-day the candidate and the fayorite Of

DO our citizens want ~ be governed By the
Ring" unembarrneed and uncxposed by vetoes
with confederate instead Of III adversary in
the Mayors office? That is the question pre-
sented by the conioint domination Of Saturday.
We cannot dodge i've are forced 10 meet it.
II "Ring" rule is tho right thing, then Boole
should be our rsxt Mayor. If not, he ought 70
be beaten. And be can be if those who cannot
really afford 10 have him elected will unitedly
resolve that no shall not be and act accordingly.
Ii he is 10 be defeated, there must q opposed

questioned loyalty, Of decided ability, and
