PARTY 4 NECESSITY.

The present city election illustrates the need
of party organization better than all the argu-
ment we could present.
The fact that number of good citizens
would accept the Office of mayor if they could
be elected, is admitted.
The fact that there are a number of good
men who would run as candidates for mayor
if called out in some way to save their diff
dence or modesty, is also apparent.
But when its everybody's business and no
political organization comes forward to relieve
the public Of the awkwardness of the situation,
why the community falls prey to designing
men.
political party nomination may not fill
the entire expectation of the members of a
party but it is the only sensible way to get at
dicison as to candidates.
We have two we'll defined parties in our
city, the democrats and republicans,
and while we admit that party
politics have little bearing upon local affairs,
We Claim for that reason it makes no differ
ence which party succeeds SO long as the men
are good; and further that party nomination
does not necessarily clothe the nominee with
the qualifications for an ottice,-and further
that nomination does not necessarily secure
the support of all members of party, but it
affords choice.
We favor party nominations for local off,
