FROM THE TRULY GOOD.
TO The Editor.

SIR: / am q citizen and real estate owner
Of this city, and have until recent date
thought it an outrage on the voters of this
plac not to have voice on the subject of
who shall govern them but the disgraceful
performance that characterized the recent
meetings held to elect delegates to the Chi
cago convention convinced me that we would
be jumping out of the fryingpan into the fire
If we exchanged our present form of govern
ment for that of universal suffrage in the dis
trict. But / believe there is remedy for
every evil if We would but find and apply il.
i therefore propose q novel romedy for tho
present unsatisfactory mode, which is as fol-
lows Let the United States senate select 100
citizens of this city, being careful in their
choice, SO that none but good mon will COM
pose that number, and from this 100 men the
voters will be at liberty TO elect all the Off
GERS of the city or district. OF course half of
the above number should be taken from each
political party. have mentioned this plan
to quite a number Of citizens, and they all
prefer it to any other yet suggested.
