new form of government proposed for Us, will

on the Second Page of this mornings sheet.
The essential feature of tho Charter, that
against which the most serious opposi-
ton has been developed, and on which
we trust tho friends of Reform Will most
strenuously insist, is that providing for
Complete sometimes inaccurately termed
Minority Representation. Readers of The
TRIBUNE know full well that for
many years we have never missed an Oppor-
tunity to urge the adoption of this sys-
tenn as the only efectual cure for
the tyranny of majorities, the only
means of preventing the poison of fostering
community, like that of part of our city,
from communicating the entire State. Give
the fifty thousand Republicans of this city a
proportiOnate voice in its government, and
they and the honest representatives
who may be chosen by the Democrats will
outnumber and control the thieves Elect as
heretofore on general ticket, and the thieves
will again, as heretofore, control the party
which in turn controls the election.
An objection, not without force, has been
made to the new Charter, that it continues
the evils of the system of Commissions,
which we had hoped to see nearly or
quite wiped ont 1t may, at least,
be said, however, for the proposed instrument.
that it reduces the number of salaried Com
missioners from thirty, as in the present City
Government, to twenty. Ii may be sug-
gested, as worth consideration in future
amendments, whether even this number can
not be proftably reduced without impairing
the essential features of the plan proposed.
