Tho Elections in This City.

Pursuant to section $50 Of chapter 410 OF
the Laws OF 1892 tho official announcement
Of the public officers to DO chosen at this
years municipal election. has made its sp-
pearance, and It should be carefully perused
by every intelligent citizen. There are two
remarkable things about it, namely:
I. Tho large number Of Offices to be filled
this year;
II. The fact that nearly all these places
are to be filled by the direct vote Of the
people. In this category are the Comp
trollers Office. which the Republicans
thought should be appointive. and which
was 90 until 1884. and large number OF
Judgeships. which the reformers persist in
declaring the voters should not ill at all.
Here is the complete list:

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
forty-nve district delegates in addition to those
chosen for the state at large
Many OF these Offices are OF great i'm
portance to the voters and upon the ability
and fidelity OF those selected to administer
them much will depend. There is it Is true.
no Mayor to be elected next month, and
the composition OF no municipal Board or
Commission will be affected materially.
But on the other hand. the Office OF Dis
trict Attorney is always important. and
tho Sheriffs Office is very little less SO. A
loyal. learned, judicious. and experienced
Surrogate Is always to be desired: and the
liberal and progressive plans Of material
development for the city. which have OBJ
tanned legislative sanction. require the o.
operation Of a Comptroller alive to popular
needs and in reasonable accord with other
city officials in prosecuting public works of
necessity and utility.
The Judges OF the City Court and the Civil
Judges have the adjudication Of the cases
OF tho poor. Twelve such Judges are to be
elected next month. to hold office until
Jan. I, 1900.
The nlne State Senators will be elected
under the new apportionment which. as re-
spects Senators, is now operative for the
first time. The thirty Assemblymen should
all be Democrats as was the case last year.
ifthe desires OF Network In Albany are to be
represented by men friendly to it's interests
and the wishes OF its residents.
There are no Congressman or Aldermen to
be voted for this year; SO the people will be
freed from the espionage and tyranny Of
DAVENPORT: and candidates will be freed
from the annoyance Of ticket and
chowder-card adventures. an incident Of
Aldermanic contests In New York without
which such elections will scarcely be recog-
nized as genuine.
