The Political situation.

Mr.. EDToR:-In the judgment of
the majority Of pcitizens who have
the interest of the State at stake, |
think that the Republican papers
of this State would better conserve
the interest of the taxpayers and
political advancement if they would
look into the auditors accounts and
examine the eXtravagances of our
Office holders, in all owing eXorbl-
tant fees, as they are assuming
such proportions that they are be-
coming unbearable, instead of try
ing to get this or that man into po-
sitions. These chickering's have be-
come obnoxious to the general pub
lie and it is 10 be hoped that not
only the Union Republican papers
will cease, as we'll as the Regulars,
IN misrepresentation and let each
Hundred hold their common prima-
rles and work in unison for the pro-
curement of our best men for the
fultilment of many needs that are
required under the new Constitu-
tion. For the party to succeed all
we'll know it must be unit, let by
cones be bygones, and let the flu
ture take care OF itself, for that is
the only way to succeed and if men
are so stubborn as to fail to vote be-
cause such or such one is for this
or that Office we will know where
they stand politically. Give us good
nominations and there is no fear of
results. If each Hundred is left to
its choice without interference we
will have good men and the people
will vote for them for the preserva-
ton of party principles and not for
what they can get out of it.

THE Board OF Asses sment, Revls-
ion and Appeal held their last
meeting last evening. The appeals
were numerous and where the Board
could see their way clear, they made
reductions. All the corporations in
the city except the Delaware and
Atlantic Telephone Company made
protests against the assessment.
The Board refused TO recognize the
protests of the corporations and
the assessments will stand and city
council through their collectors,
will collect the amounts due. The
operations are expected to resort
10 the courts. But itrcmains 10 be
seen if they are successful in fight
ing the city, which hopes by this
means of raising revenue to keep
down the tax rate. The corpora
tons, on the other hand, contend
that they are now paying their
share Of city taxes, and the new
assessment is a hardship they are
DESTROYS Of getting out OF paying.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.


Washington, Feb. L. Secretary
Dick, of the republican national com.
mitce, is preparing to mail circular
letters to the chairmen of state com.
mittees, informing them that IL IL
deemed better that oil the presiden.
tial electors this year should be nomi.
mated by state conventions. Hon
Joseph Manley called the attention
of the committee recently to a deci.
sion of the Maine supreme court that
under provisions of the Australian
ballot law the jurisdiction of a nomi.
natinc convention must be as wide az
he jurisdiction OF the office repre-
sentcd ON the ticket, In view of this,
il was decided that no loopholes
should be left to contest the rights OF
lhe presidential electors to east their
ballots. Conventions for congress
sional districts will be allowed to des-
ignatc the presidential electors az
usual, but state conventions of the re-
publican party will be expected to
atty these nominations, that there
may be no question as to their valid
ity. Heretofore state conventions
have generally nominated only two
electors.
