THE COMING ELECTION.

A committee Of prominent citizens, CON-
pr'xing both political parties, aud the va
rious nationalstics Of which our city and
county are composed, together with repre-
sentahves from the country towns, and the
woIkingmen*s organization, have been en-
ployed during The present week in pre-
paring a ticket for city and county
officers to be supported at the
approaching election, in opposition
to the ticket nominated by the
Library Hall Convention, which con-
vention, it is well known, WINS participated
in by ONLY a portion, and not large por.
ion, Of the Republican party. 1t was un-
dezstood beforehand tina. the ticket to be
nominated at Library Hall WIS prearzauged
10 petpetuata some Of the worst abuses IN
our municipal system, and that, il the
bona ,5ide members OF the party attempted
to oppose the existing dynasty At the pri-
mary meetings, they would be voted down
by non residents and by persons who never
voted Republican ticket in their lives,
Hence she great mas Of the party absented
themselves from these meetings, and
allowed the ring to have everything
their own way- The ticket
nominated at Lbrary Hall, whilo en-
bracing some very respectable namcs, was
on the whole, Of such character that VT
were unable to give it Cur support ".

to wait and see what alternative might b'
