The elections last week in Maine and

Republicans are not only holding their

MO oonssoiing factions, and unless
Dc disscotioes ere healed, and the
differences masssd on the grand issues
Tor 1880, the Republicans will elect
heir candidate for President next year
without much trouble. We hope the
late elections will teach our Democratic
leaders somo common seDse, and cause
them to unite. The Democrats oughr

that the Republican party in every

result is tho Republicans are carrying

Citizen TAXPAYERS!

I do not wish to be considered harsh,
nor do wish to speculate on your delin-
quency. But ! am constrained to tell you
candidly who have not paid their taxes
for the years 1877 and 1873, that unless
the same is paid promptly 1 shall levy
upon and sell your property. Remember
that the law allows fifty cents for every
levy, and six per cent. additional. all
of which must be paid by the party owing
the taxes. Shall / make these costs, or
will you pay up and save it yourselves?
That is the question. mean business.

Tho rival candidates for Mayor In Brooklyn are
Mr. Franklin Woodruff and the present incumbent.
James Howell. The latter Is the representative ot
the regular Democracy, Of which " Boss" McLaurh-
I'm is tbe acknowledged leader. tie has held the
office for the past two years. and makes great pre-
tensions 10 having reduced the expenses OF the city
and consequently, the rate of taxation. Ihis has
been done IN part however, by cutting down the
salaries Of policemen. fremen and teachers IN the
public schOols-a quarter III which efforts III economy
are apt. and not always wisely, to be directed. 1t
is also claimed that Mr. Howell and his Democratic
associates have reduced the fax levy by omit
ting certain items, thus causing n deficiency
which will have to De covered by future increased
taxotion Mr. Howel's election will undoubtedly
be opposed by the policemen and Others whose saa-
lies he has reduced; this influence was suf-
cient last year TO defeat the Democratic candidate
for Controller. William Bdrrell, who had occupied
that Office for two years. and had been associated
with Mr. Howell In the unwise economy TO which
we have referred.
Mr.. Woodruff is well-known citizen,
resident of the First Ward. and largely
engaged in the warehouse business. He has always
been interested In politics. but is not politician,
and has never held any Office except that OF
chairman of the Board of Elections. He is
nopalar with the workingnen. Mr.. Wood
ruff Is making an active canvass, aud will
undoubtedly poll the full Republican vote. If
he is elected Brooklyn will be sure of having for
the next two years an honest and economical
municipal administration. There is a third candi-
date for Mayor in the person of eX-Commissoncr
Flaherty, who has been named by the Independent
Democracy, which is opposed to the Ring rule of
Boss" Mclaughlin. This gentleman was perse-
cuted BY Mayor Howell, who secured his conviction
and removal from Office for technical violation of
the law. He will undoubtedly receive consider
able Democratic vote. The organization by which
he was nominated has pronounced in favor of Mr.
Kelly for Governor.
