ally responsible to the people for the proper admnsra
tion Of every department Of the city government Free
government must always cmanate from the people and
be subject to their deliberate verdict if II be well
We should have carefully devised civil service to test
the qualifications of the men IN the executive depart
mcns On this important point beg leave TO offer few
suggestions
under which the people of the city should elect at least
from each ward distinguished for character and
ability who should be bound by oath TO make thorough
inquiry into the qualifications mental and moral OF all
applicants for any executive office subject 10 appoint
aminatons entirely irrespective of the national State
politics the religion of the applicants ncthird OF
this council might be made 10 leave their places by
election
The freedom and purity OF elections should be most
carefully guarded For thus purpose should recommend
that every man who registers his name voter in his
respective ward should have written certificate given
him carefully guarded from forgery which he must show
at the polls and which alone should cne him vote,
fore the election. Pardon the freedom Of these few
gestions made by who although in his declining
years still keeps warm interest in his heart for the hap
piness and welfare OF his country and city,
Having distinct recollection your valuable services
In times long past now nope 10 you elected
again the Chief Magistrate OF city and clothed with
sufficient power to organize good and pure government
for the commercial metropolis OF this great naon Very
respectfully, PETER COOPER
