The movement to make WILLIAM MARCY

Who will Nominate the Best Men 2

VINO VIII Nominate the Best Wen
A Board of Aldermen and one of Assistant
Aldermen, 10 hold Office for two years from
January next, arc to be chosen on Tuesday,
the 18th nst The Aldermen arc elected by
general ticket, and it is TO be hoped that
each party will put in nomination the best
men il can afford.
At this election there will doubtless be
three sets of candidates. The Tammany
Ring, the Anti .Tammany Democrats, and
tho Republicans will each have their
ticket There have been rumors that
the Tammany ticket would include
the names of several noted Republicans dear
10 the Ring from common dangers, suffer
ings, and joys in the old Board of Supervi-
sors but this rumor cannot be true. No
doubt, If Mr.. TWEED consulted the prompt
ings Of his affectionate heart alone, no would
desire 10 take Mr.. HENRY SMITH, Mr.. An
DREW J. BLEAKLEY, Mr.. ISAAC ]. OLIVER,
and one or two other gentlemen Of equal
substance and picty, with him to the new
Board; but he is too wise politician to try
the experiment. We may rely upon his Civ
ing us u pure and unauthorized Tammany
ticket.
But while Mr.. TWEED is about II, suppose
he should nominate for Aldermen fifteen
6rst-rate men, whose names would carry con-
Gdcnce wherever they were heard-not polit
ical hacks and Spectators, but men of char
nctcr, independence, and business experience.
This may seem to him startling PROPOSE.
ton but let him try it, and see if he will not
como out well IN the end. TIE SUN would
Ike to 90 with Boss TWEED in supporting
such ticket.
We offer the same disintercsted ard honest
counsel TO the Young Democracy and the
Democratic Union. They are going in to-
gethcr, and this is wise but it will he wiser
If they cement their alliance by nominating
q ticket that a decent nan might lie proud
to vote. II they will take This advice of our7,
they will stand much letter chance of
electing their men than will be possible frr
them TO have N any other way.
The same idea is equally to be commended
to our friends Of the Republican party. We
know how strong are the bonds that unite
many Of their leading men to the fortunes
Of tho Tummany Ring. We are aware that
for some time PAST the republican organiza
ton in this city, like the Republican party
in the recent Legislature, has been merely q
tender connected with the Ring and almost
Identified with il. But the mass Of that
party are good and true men, whose sincere
aim is TO promote the public interest alone.
II they can cmnncipnte themselves from
their corrupt managers sufficiently to take
an effective part in this election,
and If they decide TO run distinct
Republican tickctat all, let us entreat them
to run good one, composed Of citizens who
could be trusted with money without a re-
ceipt, and who cannot be hoodwinked OF
cheated even by the most SIX lfl political
jugglcrs.
We look for these nominations with inter
est and we mean TO support the best men
no matter by which Of. the three parties they
are nominated.

The Few against the Many.

The case Of The people Of New York against
few Broadway millionaires was presented
in the most mastery manner by Judge
joins X. PORTER in his argument before
the Governor at Albany, on Wednesday,
in behalf of the Arcade Railroad bill
The opposition TO the bin was directed against
provisions in It which have no operative
force until they are accepted by the vote of q
majority of the property holders along the
line Of the proposed road, represented accord.
ing to the assessed value Of their property.
and a second vote Of the owners Of lots, rep.
resented according to numbers. The objec-
tions urged against these provisions of the
bill were completely disposed Of by Judge
PORTER, while it was shown ut the same time
that, II the objections wcrc well taken, the
property holders had the most ample rrotec.
tion for their property under the bill itself
The Governor revealed tho fact that the
chief obstacle against the bill in his mind
was the clause with reference TO the rights
in the public parks This was met by show.
ing that all the rights given under the bill
in any case arc rights under ground, It being
expressly provided that after making Open
ings in public perks and squares for the pur.
poso of building the road the surface shall
be restored to its original condition. These
and other objections were ably and COM
pletely met by Judge NELSON and Judge
PORTER. The most noticeable feature, how
ever, of the speech by tho latter was its ablc
advocacy of the popular side of the questions
at issue. He showed that even great mil
lionairc was not greater than six hundred
thousand ordinary citizens, and that his con.
venicncc and his narrow ideas Of real estate
profit were no more important than the COM
fort and convenience of tho whole public of
New York. The fact is, tho fight against
the Arcade road is tho fight of n few rich
men against the masses On which side will

English viii Not Dol

Being n candidate for tho Democratic
nomination TO the Presidency Gov. ENGLISH,
in his message to the Legislature of Con-
nccticut, tries to carry water on both shout
ders in regard to tho Fifteenth Amendment.
He proposes TO accept it as part of the Con-
sttution, but under protest whose only ef
feet will be TO repel from the Democratic rnrty
the great mass of the 100000 negro voters
who by the amendment are admitted TO the
ballotbox. This line of policy would do well
enough for transcendcntal do-trindire, but Is
utterly out Of place for practical politician.
The true mission Of political leaders is to win
voters to their standard, and not drive them
away from IT,
This proRuncidmiento of Gov. ENGLISH
only proves that the candidate who is to lead
the Democracy to victory in 1879 is yet to be
discovered. HOFFMAN, PACKER, and PEN
DLEToN have oil gone by the board In his
New Orleans speech, Senator IIENDRIcKs Of
lud ana accepted the amendment with more
grace, and gave his party better advice in
regard to the colored vote. than any other
prominent Democratic statesman has yet
done. So far, then, Mr.. HENDRICKS is with
out competition and Gov. ENGLISH, who
might have placed himself on the same high
plane, has now voluntarily excluded him
self from all its opportunities and PROSPECTS
Accordingly, we bid ESGLIsH an afIccionate

chance but the poor fellow wasn't equal to it,
