TIE more we ponder upon the evils
growing out indiscriminate suffrage
and numerous elections, the more anxi-
Gus we become for the application of
some wise and efficient remedy. No.
where is this remedy more needed thar
in incorporated towns and cities. To
these points, flock the idle, the vicious
and the adventurous and, in many
cases, these combined classes consti-
tute either a voting majority, or hold
the balance of power to be manipulate
ed by designing selfish Office seekers in
opposition to the best interests of
property holders and permanent bust
ness men. We would suggest, there
fore, to the permanent and better
class of the citizens of GAINESVILLE,
that they petition the Legislature to
so amend its charter as to permit none
but property holders to vote for the
city officials, or upon any proposition
