TIE QUESTION or CITY REFORM

Reform by the party which has organized ana
supported disagreement is never to be eN-
pected The situation in New-York is so simpl"
that earnest and disintcrestcd reformcrs should
not fail 10 understand II. The Democratic
party has governed this city for many years,
and the results are visible. 1t is a party
which embraces many thousand upright ana
worthy citizens. but its machinery is always
and absolutely controlled by those who are not
upright or worthy. Mere ignorance explains the
blind adherence Of most of the voters it COM
mands. Connection with the saloons. the houses
of vice the racecourSes and gambling-houScS
and the dangerous classes explains the passion
ate devotion Of mutitudes 10 the party upon
which. under the existing government, their
livelihood dcpends Then the great army OF men
employed. directly or indirectly, by the machine
which governs the city can always be thrown
into primary meetings at the orders OF a single
loader These concentrated forces make the or
canized corruption in NewYork always too
strong to be resisted within the Democratic
party.
The election Of a Democratic Mayor Is urged
because a majority of the voters are Demo
Gratis; but Il ma jority of those VINO WANT ne
cent government are not Democrats. If the
must always be governed by the infamous or
yanization Of criminals and punderers VINO con-
troll the Democratic party. 1t is many years 100
late TO indulge the notion that the Democratic
organization here can be purified by the cleo
ton Of an honest Democratic Mayor mat mas

has been the failure The best Democrat IN the

finds that he is compelled 10 look for Demo
cratic support to the Democratic organization
and is insensibly forced 10 depend upon mat or
