VOICE OF THR PBoPLE.
A Good suErssiion.
Mn. EpfToRi A few suggestions ~ us
iunctnro In the present contest for munie'p''
houo.p may not DO Inappropriate
Il has bcon asserted that the Democrats OF
Washington intend TO place In nomination
candidate for the mayoralty. This suggcs-
dion doub,Iess cmanated from the iacilc brain
Of some Of the interruptions and desperate adj
horunis Of saylos J.. Bowen, and Ia eonse-
quently, without any foundation In truth. No
sensible Democrat who has sincerely at heart
the true Interests Of tho city, would for mo-
ment entertain or promulgate snch Ra impoll.
tic proposition under existing circumstances,
and am glad TO observe that that honored
citizen, George Y. Gullck, Is prompt TO rcpu-
diatc the suggestion, coupled with his or any
other name, rs the proposed candidate, and
takes the ground, rs do all Democrats with
whom have conversod that the Democracy
should support that sterling citizen, Matthew
q. Emery, rs the only hope, at this time, Of
defeating the leader Of tho City Hall ring, and
ousting from place and power the greedy cor
morants who are feastlng and fattening upon
the cooperation revenue while its honest crod
itors arc compelled 10 go uhpaid.
Next 10 the nomination Of Mr.. Emery, the
most Important step viii be the reelection of
proper candidates for Aldermen, Common
Councilmon, and Assessors In tho various
wards, for IL h well remembered that unless
a majority Of each board shall be elected who
are fully In accord with the new Mayor, Mr..
Emery, his hands win be tod, and he will he
powerloss 10 inangurate or carry out any Of
the great reforms indicated by tho platform
Of principles 10 which he has subscribed by
accepting the nomination, and upon which he
viii DO elected. IT, therefore, behooyes the
citlzcns Of tho several wards who favor hls
election, 10 sec that men arc nominated upon
the ward tickets who arc in full sympathy
with the reform movement and, alec, TO re.
cUncilo In such selections, as far a. possible,
the different clements opposed to the present
corporation government.
To do this Il would be well 10 yield In .
measure to tho feelings and desires OF Major
Richards friends, and also TO the feelings Of
our German feIIOw-cltiEens, who complain,
and think with some Show OF justice, that
while naturelizcd citizens Of other natlonali-
- .iss
mont positions under tho corporation their
claims have boon ignored except TO n limltod
extent and then only recognlscd In some In
HEn .,1a auu niiiior pOs''ons'
candidates, and strict watchfulness over
Bowers tool, W. A. Cook. until the reuistra.
