QUE CHARTER ELECTION.

We are TO have an election Of Municipal
officers on Tuesday of next week, and we ex-
hort every good citizen to inquire into the
merits of the respective candidates in nomina-
ton, and vote so as to give our City somewhat
better government if that be possible. We do
not say. "VOte for Republicans" or for Demo
Gratis; we do not even say, "Vote ineXorably
" for the best man III nomination." because
there may be cases wherein voting for the best
man will allow the worst to slip in when you
might vote so as to prevent that calamity; but
we say most earnestly to every clector, "Real-
size that you have duty to perform, and
ado itw
Here are rival candidates for Aldermen, for
Assistant Aldermen, for Police and Civil JUS
tees, for School Trustees and Inspectors-often
three or four for the same place, so as to afford
an excellent opportunity for those who have
the public interest at heart to control the result
if they will act together and act resolutely.
Do let us see if some good may not be effected
by concerted action looking to City Reform,
and that only.
For years. this City has been ruled by the
worse Gncludng the worsD part of its pOpula-
tiOn-those who make their living by pander-
ing to vicious appetite and abetting crime.
These have a freemasOnry of their own: q
community of interest, brotherhood in guilt,
unites them in common desire that the
law be lax and its administration corrupt and
inefficient. Those who live easily by pander-
ing to drunkenness, gambling, and every form
of debauchery, understand that it is their interest
that the Democratic party should be in power,
and they vote and work accordingly. Running
Republican Charter tickets often increases their
power, by compelling better men who are also
Democrats to vote for candidates they detest in
order to save their party from defeat. Had it been
possible to keep every Republican candidate out
of the field for this election, we believe the
Democrats elected would have been n better
lot, and would govern us less scandalOusy, than
any Municipality we have endured for num-
Der of years.
Above all, take care to choose virtuous, in
telligent, faithful men for School Officers. The
political bias of these officers is not of the
slightest consequence; their moral worth and
general fitness are Of the highest public con-
cern. Make it your business, citizens to ascer-
tain this week who ought to be chosen School
Officers in your several Wards; next Tuesday,
do your best to elect theml That DAYS work
