THE LOCAL TICKETS.

The local nominations are now nearly COM
pleted and we can safely point to the tickets
of both political parties IA proof that the
"morbd agitation about personal integrity
which statesmen OF Senator Carpenters KIND
find so absurd, has led to some very practical
results in this city. 1t is long time since
the two political organizations have been
driven by the public conscience into putting
forward list of candidates on the whole so
understandable. Both parties have acted
under a sense of responsibility TO public
opipion as rare as it is commendable, and the
tickets they have presented are generally such
as any good citizen may take pleasure In sup
porting.
For the vacancy in the With Congress District
the Hon. s. s. Cox is the regular Democratic
candidate, and ought to be elected substantially
without opposition. His financial views are
somewhat mt variance with ours, but In almost
every other respect he is precisely the sort OF
candidate for voters who respect the legisla-
five Office and function. He is industrious,
intelligent. and of wide experience and APP
tltude in Congress, and his personal character
is without blame. Congress has never had
enough men of his kind
The Judiciary tickets of both sides are sim
gularly good As politics should cut no figure
in such "A contest, and only the question OF
personal fitness and character be considered,
one might well hesitate between Mr.. Fancher
and Mr.. Lawrence, between Mr.. Donohue and
Mr.. Van Brunt. Blu. Judge Fancher occupies
among all his competitors the especially
envable position of never having been identi-
fad with any political combination, and this,
added to bis unquestoned lagal abilities, will
naturally commend him strongly to the suf-
frages of those who wish the Judiciary divorced
entirely from political influences. Mr.. Sper,
for the Superior Court, aud Judge iowland
for the Marine Court, are also nominations
against which nothing eau be said, although
the former is presented by Tammany Hall
and the latter by the CustOm-house.
There is perhaps in the County Ticket more
strongly-marked difference. Mr.. William c..
Conner i, in every respect much better man
for Sheriff than Mr.. John McCool, and very few
will vote for Cornelius Flynn for Coroner who
will not admit that either Mr.. Croker OF Mr..
Woltmaa or Mr.. Eickhoff would make better
officer His own supporters indicate some re-
luctance in accepting him, and in fact the Re
publican ticket in many places shows the re-
suits of the hard bargain which the party was
forced TO make with Apollo Hall. The tickets
for the Senate and the Assembly are not yet
filed. but as far as they go they are not so
bad AS tile average, though both can be i'm
proved by judicious scratching. The COM
binatiOn which has been made between Apollo
Hall and the Republicans is one of leaders,
not of voters. The bargain which the man
ayers have made will not be ratified; the
Apollo Hall leaders have sold that which they
cannot deliver. A serious detection already
existing has been augmented; the dssatisfac-
ton has been greatly increased and we have
no idea that the combination with Apollo
Hall will add ten thousand to the Republican
vote. Many Republicans will refuse also to
vote for such pronounced Democrat as
McCool and unquestionably the Democrats
will generally decline TO vote for the Republi-
cans on the same ticket with their leader.
