LOOKING AHEAD.

Our citizens do not yet realize who will be
nominated under boss management for city
officers, and for Senators and Representa-
tives to the State Legisl ature. This will be
manifested, however, ere long. This is no
doubt as to what Buckley and his lambs will
do. They will put up a ticket which will
contain Just such men as they have had in
office under Mayor Pond. The Board of
Supervisors, if elected, Will contain nine
members who will vote for any enOrmity.
The different departments. under like cir
camstances, will contain Buckey'S lambs,
who will place IN their several departments
clerks who cannot be relied upon. The pub
lie ned be under no loss, as we have Sug-
gnsttd, to realize what kind Of city govern
ment we should have if Buckley'S eandi-
dates were elected, and the same may
I've said in relation to candidates for
Senators and Assemblymen. Our citi-
z-us fell some interest in respect to
what kind of a ticket will be nomi-
mated by the Republican Convention In this
city. Ii good aad reliable candidates should
lie brought out they can be elected and the
Buckley regime will become Thing Of the
past; but should few men who have pri-
yate schemes to subserve be selected we
hcpe the people will contrive to set up indie
pendent candidates for city officers and for
Senators and Assemblymen. There are men,
We may say, who would be quite willing to
serve the Republican party as bosses if they
had the opportunity. THE CALL is as much
opposed to Republican as Democratic
boss. 1t wishes to be rid of boss rule.

PRECINCT RESIDENCE.

The decision that citizen otherwise quail
fed as voter must add to compliance with
the law in other respects residence OF
thirty days in the precinct in which he pro-
poses to vote is the cause Of some perturba-
ton in the Democratic headquarters. One
OF the devices by which elections have been
carried is to fill lodging houses with voters on
the eve of an election. Quite often the vote
of a man is worth more to the party in one
precinct than in another The Legislative
ticket in one district may be III doubt, while
that of an adjoining district is certain by
large majority one way or the other. In
such cases a few hundred votes taken from
one district to another may elect ticket
which will detern inc the political complex
ion of the Legislature. The requirement
that a man shall have lived in the precinct III
which he offers his vote renders colonlZng
in any form more expensive, ana conse-
quently less likely to be attempted The
Democrats complain that the precinct resi-
drnce requirement may dsfranrhlSe thou
sands of voters. 1t is more probable that 1t
will not disfIanchise a dozen. There is no
apparent need why it should djsfranchse
a single one. Voters who live in the city
can, with little trouble or expense, retain
their residences for a few days, even if bust
ness should take them out of the precinct
during working hours. The object of the
law is not to disfranchise a voter, but to pro-
teet qualified voters from spurious ones.
The voters aimed at are the gangs that go
from one polling-place to another offering
their votes on the ground of ninety days
residence in the county, When the registry
law was passed there We're complaints that it
would dis(ranchise legal voters. The ques-
tiGn was raised if the Legislature had right
TO prescribe rules as condition upon which
the franchise could BE- possessed with which
every otherwise legal voter could not COM
ply. But opposition to registry has ceased
to manifest it,ef 1t is admitted that the
registry shuts out fraudulent votes that
could hardly be detected by other means.
The few VIII are for the time disfranchised
by reason of inability to register accept the
penalty as unavoidable. Voters are practi-
caly di,frauchiSed by the casting of fraud
ulent votes. When the registry is stuffed in
the interests of one party an equal number
of voters of the other party are disfranchised
in the fact that their votes only count as an
Offset 10 fraudulent votes.
