TIE CITY OFFICES.

Editor Demorqt--I notice our city
journals devote q great deal OF space,
OF late, disconrsing on the offices OF
sherifYs and clerks'of courts that are TO
be filled at the coming election, and it
seems to me that the same space and
talents devoted to the filling OF our
offices OF mayor and city administra-
tors and Legisiature with proper per-
sons. would prove, ultimately, OF much
more advantage to the community.
As regards the offices OF sheriffs and
clerks. our only hope OF relief is in the
Legislature. Those offices are created
by law. regulated by law, their fees
fixed by law, and it is only the law max
ing power, the Legislature, that can
change them, hence they sink in impor-
tance in consideration Of that fact.
or course, it is important that honest
and good citizens should fiji all OF the
Offices; but it is OF still greater import
ance that our Offices OF mayor and city
administrators and the Legislature
should be occupied by true citizens and
good men, thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of reform. See to 1t, dear DKMo-
CRAT. that the Legislature is Of the right
stripe OF RRToRNERs. Yours, etc. J.
