Bing Reminiseences—The Laboring Classes— The Pavements—Comptroller Green asa Bleekader. —+——__ In view of the extraordinary condition of the streets, the sewers and even the people of New York, Bnusual attention is thus early drawn tothe approach- ing municipal election, and thousands of men who ‘Rot only never vote, but astually never think or caro for elections, are daily pondering the Huka.p’s prob- lem, “Who shall be Mayor of New York??? Several Prominent citizens have been namca ia this conuec- tion, and concerning shem the HeRALD bus alreaay Biven reports of the feeling entertained by their {cl- low citizens, in no other way could the great body Of voters ascertain who and what these noped-for can- didates are, x Among others the namo of Samuel Conover bas been suggested in certain quarters, and yester- day, in order that the readurs of the HxxaLp might ledrn precisely what Mr. Conover thinks of the case himself, a reporter catied npon him in the parlor of the Produce Bank, corner of Park piace and Church Street. Mr. Conover is tail, dark compiexioned aad noticeably careful ip dress, He is about forty-two Years of ag native of tho Ninth ward, wears a mustache and drives @ good borse. His bearing is Pleugant, his manners easy and bis conversation flu- euw “Are you,” usked the Hxgaty reporter, ‘‘a cans didate for the democratio Mayoralty nomination ?”’ “Well,” answered President Conover, as he pulled the end of adark brown mustache, **i couldn’t say you and I couldn’t say no with perfect truth.” “Would you accept a nomipation if it were ten+ dered you?” “Certainiy, 1 bolieve every citizen should be reaady to respond to the call of his follows, provided he 1s 1s to do so,” ‘De you think you could be clected ?”’ “Without a doubt. U1 course 1 could.” “Well, then, assuming that you are elected, wiil you kindly tell tne people through the Henatp what your Policy would be?” “You push matiers rather furiously. 1 declare I can Dardly be said to have a policy any more than any Other citizeu anxious for the weiture of the city, 1 believe that cleanliness is next to godliness and one of the first duties of the hour 1s the care of our streets, In the frst place, they aro wretchedly paved, Miles of patent pavements are litte better than traps jor horses and snags lor Vehicles, Somo oi the avenues area disgrace to de, Cency.

Money spent in that way is judiciously invested.’ “Have you thougat of auy Special way to clean the .
