The municipal election takes place in few
weeks, aud already there begins to be consid-
cradle speculation in some quarters as to the
nomineesSof the two parties. So far as we
have observed this speculation, accompanied
by appropriate action, is confined almost
wholly, not to politicians" but 10 persons
who declare themselves disguised WIN pull
tics, and who regard with feelings Oh prolouno
dissatisfaction whatever is said or done in p0-
litical circles. All the combinations, all the
maneuveling and all the wire-pulling has so
FIR been done by this virtuous class of per-
sons. They are engaged, if we may believe
common rumor and the express statements of
contemporary, in attempting to revive
movement that last Spring resulted in the dc.
feat Of those engaged in it. This year we
understand that ex-Mayor Putnam will refuse
TO incur the danger of second defeat, and
that hope is cherished that Frederick Fox,
Esq, President o; the Common Council, may
be induced to take the post OF danger. lie

faction with his administration so far as its
efficiency and success have depended on his
personal official conduct. The impression to
this effect is so general that many persons
who last spring favored the reelection Of
Mr.. Putnum, either from political sympathy
or personal friendship, will give his successor
hearty support this year.
Mayor Kingsbury's reelection il. as sure as
his re. nomination. Last year, when he was
a new man, he triumphed over combinations
more formidable than can be made this year.
He has more than fulfilled the expectations OF
his friends in the ability he has displayed as
an executive officer, while his integrity has
never been questioned.
In saying this we have no desire to forestal
the action of the Republican caucuses, but
merely express an opinion that prevails uni
uersally in Republican circles, so far as We
can learn. If we are mistaken, the result O

AN INCIDENT OF THE FISHERY QUESTION.

AN INCIDENT OF THE FISHERY QUESTION.
The Halifax Chronicle. says:
We do, in our own interest-in the interest
of our own fishermen-prOtest against prevent
ing Americans from buying bait and general
supplies in our haabors. The reasons for this
are quite plain. The prosperity of the coun-
try, and of the fishermen consequently, de-
pend upon that of onr merchants. The Gus
tom OF the American fishermen would increase
the profits of the merchants trade To stop it
is then plainly to choke one of the springs of
our welfare Let US mark, too, how unjust we
are to the American. A presumably honest
man enters one of our harbors. He declares,
and we have no right to dsbelieve him, that
he is about to fish on the Banks. He offers
good prices for supplies. Yet the law compels
us to refuse to deal with him. He is robbed,
So are we, and the country is consequently
rendered SO much the poorer without other
ends being attained than that of annoying in
dustrious, honest Americans,
To the purchase of bait by Americans from
our people we can So not the slightest I objec,
our fishernen-while il gives no more facility
for breaking the law to the American than
does supplying him with wood and water. The
latter is tolerated.

Municipal Aid TO Mnnu ia tures

We supposed that the overwhelming vote
against the scheme for allowing towns to aid
by loan of money or credit manufacturing en-
terprises had received a coup de grace when
the House rejected it so decisively. Indeed
we could not see how snch measure could
pass while Mr.. Grams brief but most tOrcible
protest remained unanswered. That protest
was model OF concise aud accurate state
ment, and the four votes adverse to it indi-
cate the impression it made on the House.
But the Senate has since taken decided
stand in favor or the measure that the House
rejected, and the friends OF the project are not
without some hope that the latter body may
be induced after ali to r1consit er its deter
mination. To those who are on the point OF
yielding to the seductive representations oil
