THE LOCAL CANDIDATES.

| THE LOCAL CANDIDATES.
| The respectable voters Of this city ought 10
rcbuke the fraudulent operations OF Iamm1hy
Hall by supporting the Republican candidates
| ON the county ticket and tho Republican can
didates for Congress, Assembly and the Board
| of Aldermen The charges made against the
two Democratic Commissioners of Charities and
Correction who were arrested on Thursday on
charges Of frauds in registration and colonial
ton ought to be sufficient to open the eyes
of any person who has supposed that Iammany
would refrain from dishonesty in this campaign.
The candidates of Tammany Hall represent all
that is vicious and degrading in the politics OF
this CITY. Tammany hopes 20 elect them by
every trick and every device that long expert
ence and exceptional ingenuity i'll bribery and
corruption can employ. Edwin Ensteln de-
serves the confidence and support Of his fellow
citizens for Mayor. In no way does Commits
sioner Groy compare with him in his claims
TO the estcom and regard OF his fellow-citizens.
For Register, Captain Hugh Coleman Is better
oualitied and much more deserving than Is the
Tammany candidate, Ferdinand Levy. Henry
G.. Botty ought 70 be elected for County Clerk
over the interruptions and violent Henry d.
Purroy. who first gained extensive notOrety by
breaking the Jaw Of a fellow-dclegate III
Democratic convention at Nyack. Mr.. Purroy
has never done anything 70 justify his audacty
In asking the voters OF this city 10 support him
for County Clerk. There can be no comparison
bot ween the fitness OF John S. Smith for the
important and responsible Office of Additional
Surrogate and the total unitness Of the small
minded and petty partisan, Frank Il. Fitz-
nf b0 IF
men G.. Volncy King, n substantial and respect
ed citizen, is justified in expecting intelligent
New Workers TO vote for him in preference to
Young George B. Mcclellan, who has never done
anything to earn the goodwill of Newly orkers
Ii is of the highest importance for every
voter who wishes the marvellous prosperity of
this country 10 continue that he should vote for
the Republican candidates for Congress The
Tammany candidates are not representative
. citizens a. a rule, and they are all committed
10 the overthrow Of the policy of Protection,
which has produced such magnificent results i'll
this Republic The Assembly men who arc to
be elected on Tuesday next will take part in
the election OF United States Senator In 1898
Evcn if the Republican candidates for the As
sembly in the city districts werc not superior
in ability and in the esteem Of their fellow
citizens to the Tammany candidates, there
would still be the strongest reasons for support
ing them in preference to the representatives
Of so miscbevous and corrupt an organization
as Tammany Hall but Tammany is in the habit
Of sending TO Albany each year delegation to
the Assembly for which respectable New-YorIs-
ers can feel nothing but detcstation and CON
tempt 1t has renominated this year some of
the vilest men that ever polluted tho air of
the State Capitol. Some of It's candidates in
the Assembly districts ought to be in the pcni-
Tertiary or in state prison rather than taking
part in the legislation Of the imperial State of
the Union No one ventures to deny this fact
Every one knows that some of the Tammany
Asscmblymcn are bribe- takers, strikers. black
mailcrs, thoroughly dishonest rascalS and yet
Tammany has the brazen impudcnce to ask the
voters of New-York to send such mon TO
Albany.
In every district which by hard work and
fair and legitimate efforts can possibly be car
ried by the Republicans, the utmost activity
should be displayed until after the vote is
counted on Election Day If the Republicans
of the Xth Assembly District allow Demo
crat to be sent to Albany from that district
they will lose the good opinion of patriotic and
decent Americans throughout the country Tam
many has nominated Percival Farquhar in
that district man without self-rcSpcct or good
repute, who acted as the scrvlc tool of the
worst elements of Tammany Hall in introducing
and pushing at Albany last winter the nfa-
nous Election Inspectors bill, which Tammany
intended then, and intends now To use rs a
tremendous instrument of enormous frauds in
the coming election. Farquhar ought by all
means to be defeated, and +. w. Peabody. the
excellent and well-equippod Republican can
didato, ought to be elected FarQuhar's pres
encc in the State Legislature for another term
will be most dsgraccful to the voters of tho
Nth District and to the whole city
Every Ncw-Yorller is familiar with the sin
full spectacle which the Tammany Aldermen
make of themselves every year at the City
Hall The only way to improve the atmosphere
in the Beard of Aldermcns chamber and to
bring about any improvement among the AL
dcrmen is to send as many " me Republican
