CITY AND COUNTY POLITICS.

The barnac1c trile, Otherwise denomiuated
the Court House clique, are about ready to
resign the Office of Sheriff to the soldiers.
Like the dog that saw preparations being
made to kick lin down stairs, and so went
down himself, they are getting their affairs
in readiness to mure- We should not be
surprised to sec the entire police force
working for the soldier Bradley, instead of
the Court House Bradley, at the next primary
meetings, and making merit Of it, too. It
would certainly be meritorious net, if IL
were their business TO engineer the nomina-
tions Of the Republican PARTY. But this Ia
not the work they are paid to do The Board
ofPoIice arc elected to perform certain spcci-
fled duties-to maintain public order, to look
after the operations Of gamblers, garroters,
doS-fgltcrs, pi1nps, blacklcgs, and human
pests Of all sorts, and to takc measures for
the public health. Whatever time they
spend in securing, the streets for voters to
carry primary elections they necessarily take
frum their public duties, besides diverting
the peoples money from the proper ends TO
improper and indcfcnsible ones. It Is not
only fmpertinent but unlawful for public
officers to employ their subordinatcs for po-
ljtical purposes. Men who labor for fifteen
city police do, ought not to be compelled to
do the scayenGcr work Of ward politics in ud-
di!ion 10 their lawful functions. It is not
only unjust to them hut unjust to everybody
else, that they, or any other employees OF the
city or county, should be converted into
political machine 10 carry forward the cor:
r'sp: projects Of private individuals. If there
were no other reason for the people to make
an Issue with the lar1facle tri!fc this fall, this
u itself wonld he sufficient. We propose TO
do our part toward correcting tue evil, aud
introducing a healthy reform in local poll
tics. We believe the place to begin is among
those who have large bodies of men under
their command, drawing their pay from the
public treasury. No other agency could
concentrate so large a power in so small d
compass; or use it 50 unsc1upulously in over
riding the popular will.
