HINTS FOR ELECTION MORNING.
To-day, If never before We hope to see goody
mum her Of Democrats take their "piuclls to the
polls" i'm spite Of Democratic advice to the contrary.
There has seldom been time when as much could
be done by a little scratching. As wo have
before urged upon the better element Of rte
Democracy, a vote against Nr. Beach and Mr..
S,hoonmakcr while the rest Of the Albany ticket is
accepted will be the most direct and most etoctual
rebuke that can be administered to the corrupt
crew who stand behind Mr.. Beach and Mr. Schoon-
maker. vote against these candidates is
vote for good government and better Democratic
party-tvo things Iluch to be desired The
character Of the supporters Of these candidates is
sufficient to condemn them, but in Mr.. Bcach'S case
THE TRIBUNE has gone farther and proved him I'M
fit for any public station. There is no space here to
rehear,e the accusations against Mr.. Beach, which
his own vouchers and votes clearly prove;
it is sufficient to say that the readers
Of TIE TRIBUNE got yesterday pref
~ broad hint of the impression they are
known to have made upon the Governor of the State
of New-York himself one of the sturdicst Of Demo
Gratis. Itmay seem TO honorable Democrats that
man who took fraudulent mileage, and the ser
want of the Canal Ring while Lieutenant-Goyernor,
and whose record, if it had been known, would have
prevented his nomination as the Superintendent of
the Bank Department, is not exactly fit person to
be Secretary Of State.
As for Mr. echoonmaker it is sufficient to say that
the men 10 whom be owes hls nomination belong
mainly to two parties. One, and the most powerful
Of the two will no doubt demand Of him Tweeds re-
lease although an zine evidence he has, has been
pumped ont of him. and is seen to have been useless
for all the purposes Of the courts. The other
directly represents against whom canal suits are
in progress Jarvis Lords son, for instance, is to
be tried for conspiracy, and the suits against Denson
a. Belden and others must be pressed. To ask the
people 10 put Mr. Schoonmaker in Office to prosecute
his own creators is asking them to run an unrcason-
able risk. They don't want an Attorney-General
who has political debts to pay. and who has Tweed,
Jarvis Lord Denison and Beldcn among his
creditors.
The Democratic leaders, even the most intelligent
of them. deserve a rcbuke for the persistence with
which they have misrepresented the Constitutional
Amendments. The best way will be to elect Repub
lean members to the Legislature who will allow
these amendments to be voted upon by the people.
Tammany ali is trying torouse the poor and ignorant
classes with all sorts of lying cries about these
amendments Let the taxpayers and the renpayers,
every man who wants to save his property from be-
ing eaten up by taxes, and every man who wants to
save his income from being deyOured By high rent,
see that they are reused, too.
No respectable voter of either party who wants an
economical administration of the city, should vote
for any but Ant-Tammany candidates for Alder
men. The Auti-Tammany ticket for Aldermen-at-
Large is of higher character than the Tam
many ticket, and the candidates in the various
districts will probably be found as good men

the utmost importance that the Tammany control Of
the Board of Aldermen should be broken. Then,
perhaps We can get at that payroll and that list Of
siuecures and work Some reforms after the tax
payers own heart.
The CITY has the opportunity TO send good num-
Der of honest and Independent men to the Assembly
this year. Ii is safe 10 say that they are not to be
found amOngthe lammany nominees, for Mr.. kellys
list Door A. it usually s seems poorer than ever this
time. The most deserycdly conspicuous name among !
the nominees for the Assembly this year on either
side is that of Mr.. William W. Astor. As MIR. Astors
isa steadily Republican District we take il there is
no doubt of the election of resident of il who Is 50
highly respected and whose career at Albany is so
certain to reward the confidence placed in him. |
But Mr. Astors election ought to be signallzcd by
handsome majority aud the opponents Of Iammany |
in the Nth District should look to it,
In the XyllIh District, all the organizations OPP
posed 10 Tammany have combined upon Mr. Eugene !
J. jackson. and seem to have made an excellent
choice Mr.. Jackson is native New-lorker !
a member of the Wall-st. firm Of Pol |
hcmus u Jackson. a man of education, and seems
to bc, IN all respects just such subStan- |
tul citizen as Is too rarely seen in our Legislature
Mr. Jackson ought t. be elected aud hope to re-
cord on Wednesday morning that he has been.
james DAILY, the AntI-Iammany candidate in the !
XVIII Assembly District, deserves, as We have al
ready said, the vote of every good citizen in that
district Mr. DAILY stood by reform measures at Al |
b,ny at time when il took courage to do it, |
aud before reform got to DO so popular |
ia the Democratic party. If he is elected, his
stucnts may rest assured that they have elected
thoroughly honest. wcl-informed and capable rep
