CAMpAIGN COMMENT.

"a MPAI6H ltDsn vi E1-N Il.
What will the Dispatch now do when
the Jury has acquitted DR.. HOyt OF the
serious charge brought against him?
For months this paper has Systematically
bounded this official, much after the
ay in which il bounded the late Comp
roller Roc he. lis course pursued against
Mr.. ROche was publicly condemned, and
on his sudden death it was the only
paper i'm the city which did not contain
editorial comment. DR.. Hoyt can afford
to treat his sniveling critic with CON
tempt.
-
There is nothing 50 bad as ungrateful-
ness. Col. Wright was nominated by
the PrOhlbitiOnists. The members OF
that party are leaving no stone uil-
turned to assure his election, and yet
the colonel refuses 10 recognize them as
his adherents This Is simply to blind
the electors Col. Wright is bound by
pledges TO the ProhibitlOnlstS, and,
despite his attempt to play fast ana
loose with them, he viii be brought 10
time if by some unforeseen means he
should secure an election to the mayoral
chair.
-
the opposition about Illegal registration.
Now that the official registration
has been published. the fact is shown
that the registration is a falling off from
that Of two years ago. This clearly
proves the falsity OF the charges OF Re-
publican orators and Republican pa
pers The Dispatch has taken new
tack. 1t now alleges that the reduced
registration is owing 10 large numbers
OF conscientious Democrats refraining
from registering because they did not
want to vote for their party. Next!

The Pioneer Press errs in reiterating
that the late John Roche absolutely re-
fused permission TO Mr. McCardy 10 see
the books Of his department He
simply protested that Mr.. McCardy
should be allowed TO call for books
when they were needed by the clerks
and otherwise inconvenience the work
OF his Office. For The proper manage
ment OF any business Office it is mani
fest that the books cannot always be IN
the hands OF citizens In search for cam
paign matter. Here lies the whole
difficulty that Roche had with Me
Cardy, and enables that gentleman 10
pose as the ''Opener" of the city'S
books. Neither Mr.. Roche nor the
Democratic party objected TO the over
hauling of the books within reason, but
if the work of any department is TO be
properly done some restriction must be
placed on the time when tile books
should be at the disposal Of citizens. If
Mr. McCardy were elected, of which
there Is not the least probability, he IS
the very last man who would welcome
citizens who called in at haphazard to
investigate his books. Mr.. McCardy is
not built that way.

John w. Willis-Philip drunk and
Philip sober are good deal like the
two Republican organs. When they get
out ANIMALS each year they show this To
be one of the most prosperous cities in
the whole country, but just before Glec-
ton they suddenly find out that we are
misgoverued people and that the same
administration they uncOnsciOnsly
lauded few months before has robbed
The city and left us in state Of bank
1uptcy.
When any of our Republican friends
lave visitors from the East the first
place of interest they take them to Is
the high bridge and talk to them long
and loud about what beautiful Struct
ure it is. But look at them now, as
from the rOstrum they denounce it as a
steal and a robbery. Things do look so
different when there is a campaign
gong on.

DR.. A. j. Stone never made political
speech in his life before and is known
as one of the kindest and most benevO-
lent physicians in the city. But" he
said. "when my friend, Bob Smith. is
on the ticket | propose to come out and
help him." The doctor, in his daily
rounds among the poor and unfortu-
nate, has 50 often come in contact with
those unknown acts of charity that the
the mayor has performed that he cannot
refrain from expressing in public what
he has seen in private scores of times.

There ought to be no doubt about the
election Of Aid. Bott in the Second
ward. There is no triangular fight this
year TO jeopardZe the chances of the
Democratic candidate; but there is one
great danger to guard against, and that
is oyercontidence. 1t is absolutely nee
essary that Democrats should work with
determination, and on the day of cleo
tiOn especially use legitimate efforts to
get out the full vote of the ward. With
a full vote, the election of Aid. Bott is
assured.

TO the Voters of the Ninth Ward:
Having learned that my enemies are
industriously circulating reports that
am to withdraw from the contest for
alderman of the Ninth ward. desire to
say that such reports are absolutely
without foundation. | am candidate
until the close of the polls on election
day; have never contemplated with
drawing, and shall do so under no cir
cumStances whatever; and | trust that
those who intend TO favor me with their
support will pay no attention to any
reports of my withdrawal, no matter
from what source they may proceed, as
they are willfully created for the pur-
pose of working my injury. Having
been shamefully defrauded out of the
regular nomination, | decided, at the
earnest solicitation of a large number
of my friends, 10 become an Independ
ent candidate. am in the field to stay,
and pledge myself, if elected, to always
act in the best interests Of the taXpay-
Crs of the ward. Respectfully,
CHARLES III. PETSCH.
