| gentlemen to whom we refer:
On the Democratic side there is Louis
A. Wilt, the candidate for the thorny
crown of John R. Conway. He is a young
man, a native of this State, and has lair Ca
paciiy to struggle with gentlemen like him
self. His record as a member OF the
House is fair and unimp eachable, but with
the very best intentions he would be IN
able to conduct the business of the office to
which he aspires, in manner satisfactory
even to himself This, however, would be
his misfortune, and not his fault. He is,
of course, asconsistent, .out-and- out Demo-
crat, and as such Objectionable to all Re-
publicaus.
MIR. Samuel Barnes, candidate for Con-
troller, is also native of the city, and
young gentlemen of good antecedents and
fair ability. He is too strongly Demo-
cratic and partisan in his feelings to be
able at all times to render that strict JUS
tice which we require in city official;
and, like Mr.. Wilt, he would owe some
obligations to the crowd which supports
him, and which he would never be able to
control to any good end.
Mr.. Philip Power is another worthy
young man who would, with the proper
assistance and influence, make good Of
fcer; but, like the other exceptions, would
be either outvoted and oveIslaughed, or
live in continual antagonism with his po-
litical friends.
On the Republican side, we may name
among the most worthy Mr.. j. NJ Hoyle,
who is really frst-class gentleman and
good business man, possessed of property,
intelligence and honesty. He would, I'M
der favorable auspices, make an excellent
Alderman, and many of our friends have
long desired to see him in the Common
Council. He has been nominated,
however, for Recorder of the Second Dis
trict. His good sense and honesty would
enable him to perform the responsible du-
ties of th.:t position with credit, but in or
der to reach the goal of his ambition he
would be compelled to ally himself with
men greatly inferior to himself in worth
and social standing. Were there to be an
election, according to law, and Mr.. Hoyle
were to come squarely before the people
as the nominee tor Recorder, or any other
civic position to which he might aspire, we
should take pleasure in voting for him and
asking all our friends to do SO.
Mr.. E. II. Chadwick, the candidate for
Alderman of the Second District, is anoth-
er gentleman for whom we entertain great
respect. He has filed several subordinate
positions with honor and credit, while his
reputation for integrity is of the very
highest grade.
Mr.. D. 3. Mccarthy is worthy gentle.
man of excellent standing and genial dis
positics. He is the possessor Of consider
able wealth.
II is probable that few more gentle
men might be named in one or the other
of the lists, who would prove to be fair
officers under good leadership. But they
are not enough of them. Neither do they
possess sufficient strength to redeem tie
Objectionable features of the cliques by
which they have been put forward. We
fear there is not leaven enough in either
lump to Tighten the loaf
But the question is, after all, an abstract
one, not IN any manner practical, nor
likely to come up for solution before next
fall. There will be no election at the usual
time, and the work Of these over jealous
gentlemen has been in vain.
