THE LOC4L CONTEST.

Republicans are called upon, not only to sup
mort the State ticket but also the excellent can
didates nominated for local Offices. The judicial
positions to be filled by election this fall are
important. and great care must be exercised to
select candidates who will be free from any
temptation to pa tisanship. The Republican
candidates are all lawyers of high standing in
the community, and possess the independence
and strength of character which fit them for
judicial office. They were nominated to be
elected and every Republican owes it to his
party fealty to cast ballot for each one OF
them They should attract also the support Of
the independent citizens who are opposed to
further control by Tammany Hall in mum opal
affairs
Mr.. Bartlett, Mr.. Isaacs, Mr.. Ward and the
candidates for lesser judicial positions and for
Coroner should receive larger vote than Re-
publican candidates have obtained in previous
elections IN this city. Republicans who are
loyal in State and National issues have frequent
" neglected to cast their ballots for the party
nominees for local offices. The consequence is
that Tammany has grown by the negligence Of
It's political opponents into such power in the
community that it is difficult now to diSlodge it,
Every possible vote should be secured for the
Republican local candidates in order that Tam
many Hall may know that the past misconduct
of its officials has not passed unnotced by the
voters of this city.
The large registry shows that Republicans
have been aroused by the issues of the State
canvass, and handsome Republican vote will
be cast in this city. The number of Itepub
lican ballots for the local candidates should be
as great as the number of votes cast for Repub
licap candidates for the State offices. Every
Republican should not only VOTE but vote a
straight ticket from Governor to Coroner

DFuOCRdTS ON TAJJJlANY

What do Democrats themselves think of Tam
many Hall? The campaign is almost over, and
Tammany has been held up to the public view
ever since it began as the most corrupt, ineffi-
cient and altogether dangerous political organ
zation in the country. Has any Democratic
organ of any account rushed to the rescue of
Tammanys reputation during these battle
weeks? Not one. Or any reputable Demo
cratic stump-speaker? Not one. Why? Be
cause Simpy nothing can be said on that side
Tammany Hall cannot be defended. # has
made an infamous record and is the same in
spirit and tendency as it was when Tweed and
his -plunderers directed its course
Mark how careful ex-Presdent Cleveland was

valves the point he declines to say good word
for Tammany and that too, at time when it
was sorely in need of a good word.
But while it is true that Tammany cannot get
any decent exponent of Democracy to defend or
apologize for il, not less true is it that in the
near past it has been excorated by leading
representatives of its own political household.
For instance. THE World" As late as February.
1889, wrOte Of Tammany in this manner: " For
the credit of Tammany Hall it is to be regretted
that this old organization has sent one of its
most eloquent advocates, Mr. Bourke Cochran. to

bly, Committee. But this action is not surpris-
ing. An organization Of professional politicians,
ofiiceholders and of1iceSeekerS as Tammany Hall
largely is, is part of the thing 10 be reformed.o
Directly after the nomination Of Mr.. Flower the

The recent pronunciamento OF certain Demo
Gratis who came to the defence of Tammany Hall
ard its Flower ticket is effectively answered in
the judicial and well-considered statement which
a large number of business men of this city have
signed Their contention that the present con-
test should be decided on State issues alone is
sound and so is their claim that the Saratoga
silver plank must not be taken for more than
it is worth. The most ungene:ous attack upon
the Republican candidate and party was on the
ballot-reform question. This statement says
most truly that there has been on the part OF
the Democracy " continuous, unrelenting and
malignant opposition to that reform. No one
but an idiot can look for the promotion of ballot
reform from party which has consistently and
pelsstently antagonized it.

DISGRACEFUL ELECTION TACTICS.

Mr. Meyers German friends are loud in their
complaints of political interference with their
business by the Brooklyn police. In many of
the shops in the Eastern District and in other
portions of the city the portrait Of the Repub-
lican candidate for Mayor has been displayed.
The police have subjected the owners of these
stores to much vexaton and annoyance In
some instances the removal Of the portrait has
been ordered, and in other cases the regulations
respecting obstructng the sidewalks with barrels
of groceries have been enforced with unneces-
sary rgor. The police have apparently acted
under orders from political headquarters, and
have sought to intimidate tradesmen whose sym
pathies were enlisted on the side of Mr.. Meyer.
These disreputable tactics serve to illustrate
the Democratic Rings wanton disregard of the
feelings and rights of the German population.
So long as they dared to do so, the press and
campaign speakers ridicued the Republican can
didate as an ignorant Dutch grocer" and even
after orders were received from Boss McLaugh-
lin " to let up on Meyer the police force under
political influence has continued to affront the
German residents by petty persecution and in
solent and domneering conduct. All these
things will be helpful in swelling Mr. Meyers
majority next week.
