WE insist that the argus does Mayor Rich
ardson's po sition injustice. 1t says that he
will introduce economy TO the city expendi-
lures when the people elect City Council in
political harmony with him, forcing its read
ers.to infer that he will not use his influence
in that direction until the voters comply with
that condition. In other words, Gen. Rich
ardson as Mayor will Dot veto measure call
ing for an improper expenditure of money;
will not withhold his approval from exorbi-
tant bills, and as Chairman of the Street
Committee, he will not use his influence
against this or that job, simply because there
are but ten Democrats in the City Council
instead oftwenty! We repeat that we believe
that Mayor Richardson isn't the sort of per-
son that the Argus compels its readers to in
fer. One of the out-oftown editors must
have written that item about our Mayor.

SOME one takes the trouble to write TO the
New York Tribune and say that two men
have been grevously misjudged-Byron and
Jim Fisk. They both had good hearts, he
says, and ''ifthey had had Moody and San.
key to lead them in the right path in their
young days, no doubt they would have lived
and died shining lights in other spheres. .

ONE Of the newspaper correspondents says
that Mr.. Kerr discharged, in the formalities
of organization, the exhaustive role of oath
repeater with real impressiveness." Demo-
Gratis are wont to shine in that role, and to
make themselves decidedly impressive, with
out any formality either.

THAT terrible Cincinnati Enquirer is max
ing trouble in the Democratic ranks again.
Its editor has been to Washington, and
sounds note of warning. He says the Til
den men glutted the West with offices, so
that they can say next year "You have
been helped-we'll take the Presidency"
They secured the Southerners by telling them
that Ohio and Pennsylvania were surely Re-
publican, and that their only hope was in
New York. The EnQnirer adds: "There is
no need to attempt disguise; there is deep
and ugly feeling here on the part of certain
Western and Southern Democrats. They see
the game and are ready for it. They openly
proclaim that New York has drawn the
bloody sword, and the issue must be met"

IT is stated that prominent denomina-
tional leader in this state, is making frequenl
appeal by letter to such members of the Leg
islature as belong to his sect, to support
certain candidate. Has it come to pass that
Methodist must vote for Methodist be-
cause he is such, and Universalist for a
Universalist, because they entertain more
cheerful views respecting the future state
than some other sects? If it has, let us by
all means have an established religion, for if
we are to have Baptist caucuses, and Congre-
gational caucuses, and the like, it is quite
possible that the somewhat numerous crowd
outside of all of these denominations may
unite, and if they do, who can say that the
wicked one will not carry the day?
