The Citizens Guard compliments The
REPUBLICAN by admitting that we examine
political questions from all sides. We are
credited with having examined the present
political situation from seven different
standpoints In our judgment, seven is
six times better than one, in such q case.
The seller of any article of merchandise
satisfies his conscience by extolling the
merits of his wares The intelligence
office keeper carefully conceals the de-
fectS of the servants whose services are on
hire But the careful purchaser Of goods
Or hirer Of servants examines carefully for
defects, and in doing this looks at as
many sides as may be necessary to accom-
plish the o2bject-safety Of lis investment.
This is our position. We represent the
people who are about to engage their SER
wants for term of four years. The Guard
has q lot on exhibition, whose defects.
shortcomings and weaknesses it carefully
conceals. 1t represents the interests of
the politicians whose sole aim is to get
the places, no matter how. We represent
the employers, and are bound by
our duty to inquire diligently and re-
port honestly. There is another
rival establishment on Camp street,
that offers a lot of servants to the public
in strong competition with the Guard
The yociferations of thesesyendors in ex-
tolling the merits of their respective wares
and decrying all connected with the
g other swindling concern" are rather
calculated to have a bewildering effect.
Each party presents but one side of the
question, and that, of course, themost ia
Torable to the interests of their applicants |

ally grows impatient with the REPUB-
lean when it examines into the question
properly, presents obvious defects in both,
nd mildly suggests that neither lot is any

TREATING WITH THE GREEKS.

1t is reported that Mr. Ogden, candi-
date for Attorney General, sedulousIy de-
clines to become acquainted with Gov
ernor Warmoth It is a notorious fact
that he declined to accept nomination
from the Democracy on the ground that
be did not recognize that organization as
a necessary or reasonable existence. We
submit that Mr.. Ogden is consenting to
accept assistance where he does not de-

THE INDEPENDENT Gibbs.

1t IS something remarkable that, despite
the trouble taken by the various conser.
vative elements to harmonic, genuine
fusi on appears as far off as ever. It is
true the leaders seem to have fixed the
matter up to their liking, but the rank
and file are not content. Even the
young Democracy" which is generally
supposed to have an abiding place below
| Canal street, refuses to be enthusiastic.
while the Liberal and Reform elements
entertain the opinion that fair represent
alton has not been given them on the
| ticket. The consequence is prevalent dis
content at. the present arrangement. It
manifests itself particularly at club meet
lngs. These organizations, in several
instances have repUdiated their former
footing and resolved to be independent.
They purpose, by standing aloof from
present party affiliations, to be able to-
side with whichever party offers the best
guarantees Of carrying out their peculiar
views. Nor is this bad idea. In the
mixed condition of politics in this State
former principles are laid aside There
IS neither Democratic nor a Republican
party. Both are tainted with uncongenial
and extraneous principles. It would be
silly, therefore, to say that the independent
action indicated by many of the clubs is
unpatrlotic They have the same right
to adopt this course, that the members of
old PARTY organizations have to adopt
new political associations. An additional
reason is furnished in favor Of this course
by the fact that the independent clubs
will in this way hold the balance of
power in the municipal elections, how
ever little effect it may have in changing
the probable issue in the State Certainly
there can be no sufficient reason why men
should be dragooned into supporting a |
party or ticket with which they have no
sympathy, and which they dislike. The
coalition which decided upon both party
and candidates was not of the people.
Both are eminently the creatures of poll
ttcians, and can not expect support upon
the simple plea of party allegiance
Under these circumstances, the course
Of the clubs can not be considered either
improper or inexpedient. They have an
undoubted right to decide as their inter
ests or inclinations may dictate.

AN UNFORTUNATE OMISSION

The eloquent candidate of the fusion
lists for the Attorney Generalship forgot
to mention one Of the remembrances with
which he ought to have charged the minds
Of his hearers on Thursday, when he told
them in suchsswelling periods all the du-
ties which it was their sacred obligation
to bear in mind. In addition to telling
the fourth ward Democrats that they must
remember their duty to the State; that
they must not only forget, but they must
forgive all who manifest disposition to
vote with them; that they must set aside
all selfshness and act only for the COM
mon good, he should have told them that
the performance of all these conditions
would be as nothing if they forgot to vote
for Fl. n. Ogden. If he had said this,
which was about all he meant by what he
did say we should have been perfectly
satisfied that the fourth ward was properly
instructed as to the main feature in saving
the State. AS it has fallen out, perhaps
our suggestions will suffice to supply the
unfortunate omission.
