A man should always get the best IN

There ls not a weekly Newspaper in

has the patronage 1t deserves. With few
exceptions the testimony Of the editors IS

MIR. GaynOr and the Governor.

Mr.. WILLIAM j. GAYNoR OF Brooklyn,
who has just been elected Justice OF the
Supreme Court of this State in the Second
judicial district has written letter to the
Governor in reference to the alleged mis-
conduct OF JOHN Y. MCKANE and his associ-
ates in the town OF Gravesend at and be-
fore the recent general election. II have
been elected to an Office which disqualiiies
me from prosecuting the perpetrators OF
these crimes" writes Mr.. GAYNOR. but
cannot and shall not sit silent and see these
gross outrages against honest people go
unredressed. shall resign the Office first"
We regret that a man of so much ability
and character as Mr.. GAYNoR should mani
fest so slight an appreciation OF the great
Office to which he has been chosen by the
people, as is Indicated by the language
which we have quoted. The citizens Of
Kings county must be miserable weaklings
indeed, II they are unable or indisposed to
enforce the criminal laws designed to in
sure the purity Of elections. without the
personal assistance OF Mr.. GAYNoR. valua-
BILE as that would be. The true view would
seem to be that it is far more important for
the community to have an honest and just
Judge on the bench for the next fourteen
years than to have one man rather than
another prosecute JOHN Y. McKANE. when
there are 30 many competent persons ap-
parently able and willing TO prosecute him.
In the communication to which we refer
MIR. GAYNoR makes two requests of Gov
ernor FLOWER. The first Is that the Gov
