| West. In the muniticence Of his heart and the

West went on to argue that it was strange con

been located in these lands.

man ~ who had preceded him. but he differed
with him in his conclusions.
He admitted that the bill was not all that it
should be, but he believed that practical legisla-
ton to take what You get rather than
nothing at all. He thought the bill would at
least have acted as an entering wedge, that would
have by driving, achieved grand results in the
end. He thought that as yet there hope by
united ction.
There had been no conflict Of opinion in the
Engineer Corps, the only difference beng that Of

gineer Corps would do its whole duty. He con-
cluded.
West said, The only difference between myself
and the gentleman, is that lie wanted bill and
wanted canal
Svpher said: 1t is pity he did not work for the
canal: probably he would have succeeded better
than did.
Mr. Seixas asked West whether Or not he would
support the measure reported by the Board Of

resolutions and preambes setting forth the be-
lief that the Board would report the canal, and

The 80 Days La1v-CoIonization.

1t is not to be doubted that there has been at
previous elections considerable voting by per-
sons not residents of the ward wherein they pre-
sented themseves-in other words there has
been some colonization. Now the law against
this is plump and plain, and the penalty of it is
severe. AS the public interest felt i'll to-mor-
rows election is intense, especially in the close
ly contested wards, there is more earnest
feeling than usual in regard to this form of
fraud, aud purpose is generally expressed
first to detect and then to have prosecuted and
punished any one attempting it. III the Seventh
Ward information is already received Of an ef-
fort which will be made to colonize it, and tile
most prompt legal measures will be taken
against it by men who have clean skirts them
selves and will not Get up" OIL prosecution.
We recommend that committees of citizens OH
both sides, in all the wards, look out for coloni.
zers, repeaters, and personators, and have them
arrested without fear or favor. 1t is only poiti-
cal pirates who find advantage in colonization
or any similar species of fraud.

xne seventh Ward Ticket.

The following was handed US to be published
as a communication. Upon reading it, we ap-
prove its expressions so entirely that we give it
prominence in the editorial column =:
"We think our citizens generally and especial
ly the voters Of the Seventh Ward, should give
more than passing attention to the contest for
Councilmen in that Ward. Reform in the ab-
stract is good subject to propose and to talk
about, but TO make it effective it must be en-
bodied. II reform is to be accomplished, some
body must take it in hand. Now, nothing is
easier than to talk reform, and there are very
many good men who think they have acquitted
themselves of their duty as citizens in the most
satisfactory manner, when they have discharged
their 'yirtuous Indignation, at the head OF
some unfortunate, who has incurred it, and
they are loud in the expression of their opinion
that something ought TO be done.
But suppose they are asked why they
don't do something, then. At once they find
excuses in such plenty, that their only
difficulty is to select which will serve their
purpose with the least trouble. Now herein is
where Mr.. Candy deserves the thanks, the sym
pathy and the support of all this large and most
respectable body of reformers. because lie not
only feels that something ought to be done, but
he offers himself as one who is willing to do
what he can towards it. Personally he needs
no advocacy. He is lis own best recommends
ton.
" But the movement has a significance aud an
Importance far beyond its immediate results,
namely, in that it gives a real start aud favora-
BILE one to the movement to divorce municipal
from national politics, and to conduct canvass
which has for its end the well being of our OWL
community to that end alone, and not with ref
erence to its effect upon the next Presidential
election, olir relations with foreign powers, ol
the currency question, or anything beyond the
question whether or not the taxes collected from
the people shall be expended judiciously an6
economically, and the various departments OF
our city government efficiently conducted il
view of their several objects.
d" Mr.. Candy and his colleague on the ticket
may be defeated, but the principle they repre-
sent will not thereby be oyerthrown. And il they
and otherpublic spirited men will only resolve tt
fight it out, on that line, ..sooner or later ii
must be triumphant" Il.
