ELECTION OF JuDGBs AND INsrEcToRs.-The
members of the National Union Party held their
ward meetings last evening, FOR the purpose OF
cic,.ing judges and inspectors u c0ldgc, the
delegate election to be held on Tuesday evening
next It IS sseldom that the respectable citizens
Of the wards can be urged 10 come forward and
take part in these preliminary meetings, which in
many instances are of more importance than the
regular election. Last night, however. seems to
have been an exception as the old and prominent
residents OF the wards were out, although we are
sorry - say that in several instances they were
oYcrsaughed by the political wire.pullers, who
seem determined, right or wrong, 70 send certain
delegates to the various nominating conventions.
In the Third Precinct OF the Seventh Ward the
contest was bitter. The majority elected one
ticket and the minority another. Strange 70 say,
boNc7er, the majority was ruled ont and the
ticket 1s presented by the minority was an
nOunced by the President as the choice Of the
people Of that locality. All appeal was in vain.
A request that two watchers be appointed to su-
perntend the voting on Tuesday night was over
ruled. Il is not to be wondered az thai respecta-
BILE citizens do not attend these preliminary
meetings when such outrageous conduct IS ;ole-
rated
