preston 70 his views in regard TO the local
government OF New-YOrk, and Of HIS intentions II
he should chosen Mayor These may be regarded as
fooshadowng some portions of his letter of acceptance
He said that he looked upon nOn-partisan COM
bnations for the election Of local officers
Of especial importance in city where one
party so largely outnumbered tho other in NewYOrk
In places where parties nearly balanced, evils Of
administration corrected themselves; party abusing
its power was displaced at the following election,
the minority being reinforced by the dissatisfied
members Of the majority III NewYorh. however, the
Democrats outnumbered the Republicans two to one,
and there could be check except by organized COM
bnaton local purposes He could nothing in the
differences of opinion questions OF national policy d
yIding the great parties which OF necessity should Keep
the party lines tightly drawn in election involving
only an honest and wise administration OF the munich
nal government Ho had always believed in "scratch
ing" tickets in local elections, and voting for the best
men without much regard to their political opinions
His administration OF the Office Of Mayor, II he should
be elected he said would far possible be Of non
partisan character Under the law constituting the
Police Board Of four members, lie should appoint
