These tickets should commend themselves
to the hearty support not only of the Repub-
Icans in politics, but to eli taxpayers and
voters who arc interested in tho reduction Of
the extortionate amounts heretofore paid the
town officers, in the fair and uniform as
sessment and proper division Of the ta1-levy,
and in the honest collection Of taxes without
feEoritism- The Offices OF Assessor and Col
lector are mainly important, but those of the
Supervisor and Clerk should also be filed by
good and honest men, because they belong
to the Town Boards and have voice in de-
ter1nining their OWL salaries and those Of the
lieve, IN honest effort to select the very best
men for these three tickets who would accept
the places. The Republican candidates for
Assessor in West and South Chicago are
notably competent for their places, and We
presume ths North Side candidate il equally
so.
In the case OF Messrs. GRAY and CLaRK,
however, it would be impossible to find two
other men who could discharge the duties of
Assessor go we'll the former has made up
every fair assessment that has been made for
many years past in the South Division, and
the latter WIS for long time in charge Of
the city assessment. ALI the other candi-
dates are spoken Of by the best citizens in
their respective districts as deserving Of the
united support Of the taxpayers
But the mere fact TINT these tickets sre
composed of excellent men is not sufficient to
elect them They will be defeated, and the
bummea viii prevail as usual, unless the re-
spectacle voters 60 to the polls next Tues
day, and not only vote, but watch the ballot
boxes Is closely As they did at the election
last fall. The trouble about these town alec-
tons ia that the taxpayers have allowed
them to go by default They have filed the
newspapers with their complaints about the
unfalrness Of the assessments, and have pro-
tested 1854 days in the year against the out
rages Of the Town Boards, but On the edng1a
day in the year when they could protect
themselves BY going to the polls they have
given the subject no thought. Now, every
pms Of these men can serve their own inter- |
est better, and save time, by devoting an
hour next Tuesday to secure tbs election OF |
men who will not Cause them to growl all |
he rest Of the year. If they fail to do it,
hey will suffer tho penalty OF their own
neglect, and, for our part, ve shall not b. in |
lined to fill the columns Of TEE TRIBUNE
With useless protests. We enter general |
protest now against the apparent indifference |
# ths taxpayers to their own interests, and |
all them that, this year, when there is 4
rood ticket in eyery one Of thu towns, thsre |
zM be nobody but themselves to blame Il
