The writer says: 1T was probably the most

Reform our City Government.

Tho Democrats in the Legislature are
making a mistake. In the Senate. with the
exception OF JOHN MoRRIssEy and Mr.. Blk
by, who were elected as Independent Demo
Gratis. they vchcmcntly opposed the so-calcd
Omnibus Charter. and voted solidly against
1t on the final passage of the bill. If we are
to credit the reports from Albany the Dem
ocrats in the Assembly are intending to pur-
sue the same course. II this be true, they
had better reconsider their determination
and resolve TO pursue precisely opposite
policy.
This Omnibus Charter doubtless has It's
defects; but the great body OF the people
understand that 1t reduces the number
