The City Inspector’s removal will put an ead to the squabbles which have ao long perplexed us, and enable him to appeal to the people if he has been wronged. The Comp- troller must go with those whose bills he hes cashed. The Corporation Counsel allows too many judgments to go against the city, and must now confess judgment Limself, Smash the whole “ring” with one quick stroke, and there will be no bounds to the popular rejoic- ings. . Half-and-half measures will amount to nothing. Like the half-and-half exposures of so-calied reform papers, which abuse in order ‘to, be bought up, end fevy blackmail when, they pretend to he doing honest work, such measures. will only encourage our municipal + rogues, Those who are allowed to xemain will chuckle ag they apportion among themselves the share of those who ee ined out, and the true men will have a smaller chance of reform- ing the governmentihan cver. The best mode isfor the Governer to‘turn out the whole set, If the press of this city does not endorse this opinion the Governor will discover the reason in the Corporation advertising swindle, which is sysiourstically carried on outside of and ancon- nected with the advertising expenditares au- thorized by law.
