mere bar-room squabh,es, and resorting to the
expedient of common scolding, why should
there not be fractured skulls on the evening
of election dayi There was Wambaugh
with his shameful resolution about "blo0d
cup to the armpits." There were the
newspapers every morning appealing to hatred
and malice, to prejudice and passion. For
DAYS upon days the town had been in fever
and ferment. Why not riot and murder and
blood and wounds after the closing OF the
pollsi And who is responsible for all this
shame and scandalf Certainly not the people
who have been misled; at least we Will not
hold them so until the newspapers which
stimulated their passions, and the party leaders
who stimulated the newspapers, have been heid
to answer at the bar of opinion for doings
something worse than misdemeanOrs.
There were some precautions in Indianapolis
against the catastrophe of the evening, but
what did they amount tot There was the
MayOr's proclamation commanding the closing
of the bars, but who supposes that the rioters,
for all that, went into the fight whlskylessf
Five hundred extra policemen wero sworn In,
but the scrimmage went on all the same.
What are policemen when they are not sup
ported by public opiniOni What are five hun
dred cOnstabes when peace depends upon
arresting and locking up two-thirds OF the
population7 The business of tho newspapers
was to enlighten and not to madden the con-
stituency. The duty of the orators was to
help voters to make up, not to lose their
minds. The true way in most matters is 10
begin at the beginning.

| to us that only ono has been brought promi'
nently forward who has been SO thoroughly
| identified with political reform as to be aDie
| TO lift the party up into the confidence OF the
people. That man is Gov. Tlden. The feeling
of the people is that the country would be safe
| in his hands as the Executive. 1t Is our con-
viction that if Gov. Tilden should be NOM
mated at st. Louis the gentlemen who nave
called political conference in this city would
take no independent action, whatever migh'
| be done by the Republicans at Cincinnati. DO
if Mr.. Bristow should be nominated at Cincln-
natl. the conference would be satisfied ana
take no steps toward making another nOmlna-
ton. The nomination of Mr. Blaine we judge
would not be so entirely satisfactory, since
that gentleman has not distinguished himself
particularly as an advocate OF reform. Still
we do not think that protest would DO
deemed necessary in the event of his being the
Republican candidate. A better nomination
than either of these would be that OF Charles
Francis Adams. His name would be an inspira-
ton to all who desire to see politics purified
and the Government wisely and hon
estly administered. Unfortunately, however,
the superserviceable zeal of single newspaper,
by constantly harping upon his name as can
didate for official positions of every kind and
description, has put him out of the question.
His name is never mentioned without suggest
ing the newspaper and its antics, and conse-
Quently only excites a smile. There are other
distinguished Republicans whose nomination at
Cincinnati would be well received, but Mr.
Adams's high personal character and his known
ability us statesman would be the surest
guarantee to the people that the Republicans
are really sincere in their professions. His
nomination and election would do more for
the country than could be done in any other
way.
1t is quite possible for both parties to NOM
mate honest and able men, men who are really
statesmen, and whose names are synonymous
with purity and patriotism. Such are the NOM
nations which THE TRIBUNE longs for with
out partisanship or prejudice. 1t will rejoice
to see each party nominating its best man, and
both so good that it will be difficult to choose
between them. Then. whatever becomes OF the
rival gangs of mercenary and self-sceking pol
iticIans who control party machinery and make
public sentiment, we may be sure the country
will be well served.

THE LEGISLATURES FAILURES.

II may be doubted whether there has been
an instance in the whole history OF our State
of such fragrant neglect of duty on the part OF
n LEGISLATURE as is furnished by the records
of tbe body that adjourned on Tuesday. The
LIST of the bills that failed to Cass might
serve as the counts of an Indictment If
su;t were brought against the legis-
lotors who have disregarded the interests of
the people. Passing over the measures OF
minor Importance that headed yesterdays list
of failures the Apportionment bill first catches
the eve. Here was a measure ordered by the
Constitution, and made part OF the absolute
business of the Legislature. There was plenty
of time to prepare this bill during the
session, and yet tho Committee on
Apportonment did not report till only
four working days of the session were left.
The delay was a transparent device to pre-
vent the passage of the bill, and can only be
accounted for on the ground that 1t was feared
that Just appOrtionment OF the votes OF the
people would reduce the power Of partisan
politicians. The rights of the people were not
at all considered. The County Treasurers bill
was measure designed simply to make those
officials who hold the money of counties more
responsible for their trust. 1t was obviously
the dictate of economy and common sense and
not at all a party measure. 1t was killed by
the opposition of country members and by
delay; and bill providing for the method of
deposit and disbursement of money by our
city officials shared the same fate.
Especially, however, has the neglect fallen
heavily on this city. How great the injury
may be from to the defeat of the supplementary
Rapid Transit bill cannot yet be determined
but the result will certainly be niger delay
in the construction of the road. Every day
of that delay is loss of money and time
to great numbers of people. The failure
of the bill reducing municipal salaries
keeps the old burdens on the back of tax
payers, and the defeat of what was known as
Controller Green's extension bill makes doubt
full the retention in Office Of an official who
has really tried to tighten those burdens. Nc

THE CITY'S NEW CHARTER.

We give to-day in full the Woodin Charter
the most important measure affecting the gov
crnment of this city since the charter OF 1878.
So many changes and amendments have been
made in the Woodin Charter bill that 1t
bears very little likeness to its orig
inal shape. Five times it has been recast,
the Senate Committee on Cities, the Assembly
Committee on Cities, the Assembly Judiciary
Committee, and the Senate itself doing separate
wor,, in reconstructing it. besides what Senator
Woodn himself changed, ut the suggestion, 1t
il said of Controller Green. The third section
will be noted as IA provision requiring very
(ull vote of the Common Council rs To the
outlay Of money. Section requires the
petition OF one-fourth the property holders on
the front line of any proposed Improvement
b.rorc any resolution can authorize it. Section
> limits the expenditure for winch assessment I'D
any one year can be imposed, to Tl,ooO,ooo'
This regulation is 10 cOntiIuc until the Olty
outstanding debt on assessments Is reduced to
81. 600 OCO But this is not intended to apply
to work under way for which assessment has
been in part imposed. If successful III lInpos-
ing n limit on the old, reckless methods
of assessment, this charter Will do
The Woodin Charter was originally regarded
principally rs a finance measure. The sections
relating to the issue of bonds are, however,
brief the more important feature being the
limit of the amount that can be raised IN any
one year for special works, to 81 l,ooo,oo
One of the most striking features of the bill
is the specification that public works shall he
performed by contract with the lowest bid
| der. On the mode of laying assessments
the details are very full. Encroachments on the
! Sinking Fund are provided against more fully
than hitherto. Claims against the City must
be sworn to, must stand for 30 days, and must
pass before the Auditing Bureau OF the
Finance Department. Uncxpended appro-
priations are to be returned to the treas
urv. II will be seen that as IL is now shaped
the Wood n Charter has few remnants OF the
bad features which at first distinguished IT.
and that there is reason to hope that IL VIII
serve to economize our civic expenditures.
