SEW YORK AND TH® VICINITY, PoLtTICat-—Peerarino ror Tut CHARTER Ex.zorion.—The politic/ans are just now actively/en- gaged bargaining for, and with the candidates, who are to be put in nomination for the various municipal offices that are to be filled at the election on the 6th of December, As usual, the people will not be con- sulted inthe matter of nominations, but when the managers of the different political organizations ° acreed upom their candidates, the rank and file of electors will be expected to vote the tickets present- ed. According to present indications there will be four or five candidates for Mayor, each of whom will have « very fair chance of winning the prize, if the people cast thelr ballots as they have been accustom- ed to vote during the past few years. Io municipal elections it has beem castowary to label the non. noes “Demoeratic" or “Kepublican,” without regard to their good, bad, or tudifferent standing in the commanity, eaeh individual voter believ- {ng that if he voted for a caudidate of his own political stripe, he was doing his whole duty ssamanandacitizen, It ls tobe hoped, that at the forthooming election, e large majority ef voters will pay more attention to the matter of electing honest men for municipal offices than heretofore, and thus in some measure rebuke the plunderers who have robbed the City Treasury, and placed the metropolis almost entirely under the control of Commissions appointed at Albany, The city vote, on all ordinary occasions, shows that seventy-five or eighty thousand citizens exercise their franchise privi- lege, of whom two-thirds are recorded - “Democrats.” the balance belonging to both branches of the Republican party. The Democracy being very strong, and their opponents comparatively weak, the “ring” leaders recklessly fodulge in “scrimmages for the spoil” each enticipat- ing bis own success by reason of the division that is thus created, Defeat appears to make oo impression upom these so called party men—end although each sticks te the “Democratic” nomenciature, nome of them appear to care about the success of the party provided thelr particular machine proves successful. ‘The Republicams are more esutdous, although the very “black meu" do nos agree with the lighter colored or mottled, it is observed thas the party osoally polls « compact vote when election day comes round. By pureutng the policy of sticking together, the Kepublicans within a few years have obtained some very decided victories at the mounleipal elections, although their candidates were “no betterthan they should be,” when installed in the offices to which they were elected. Thos, for year after year, the overburdened taxpayers have obtained no relief through an election, because the successful candidates of either party used their respective offices for mercenary purposes, The people have, at various times, sought to redeem the elty by electing “ Reformers,” bat in every instance were deceived by the wire- pullers, until at length the “Reform” badge is worthiess for election purposes, The latest exhibition of this character bas been witnessed in the manavres of the so called “ Citizens’ Association,” originally organized by the enrollment of some of our most reep’etable and wealthy cit zens into a league having for ita object the purification of our elty government, These gentlemen met together, adopted @ plan of operations, subscribed thoussads of do.lars, and then placed their affairs in the hands of « few men, who squandered the money and turned the Associa- tlon into « political machine, ground out nominations that wore not endorsed by « very large number of the original subscribers to the concern, With an infatuation that seems remarkable, these “intiaen- tial citizens” continued to supply their incompetent subordinates with the means for fighting the corrnp- tionists, until a very large fund had been squandered without any tangible results being obtained, The secret of this failure will be discovered by these geu- tlemen when they thoroughly lnvestigate the affairs of their “Association.” Instead of carrying out the original programme, the manorers of the Association believed they ought to enter upon the arena of poll. tics as an indepeadent party, and soll their influence to any “bones,” man who would pay the highest price therefor, Under the circumstances, it Is not remarkable that Kepublicam candidates almost tn- variably received “Citizens” nominations, owlug te the minority votes of that party tn city politica, At the late election the Apsociation did not appear promi. nently, but @ considerable amount of its money was employed to boleter up some of the iudependent ean- didates, whem they could be used to defeat better Democrats, In the approaching Municipal election the managers of thie Association intend to nominate their own candidates, and put before the people Kepublicans uuder the guise of Democrats, whose transparent coating of true Demoeracy the people will readily discover, At the Charter election of Inst year this polftical trickery was properly re- buked, and thus @ number of bone fide “reform” candidates ware net elected, who would have Leen chosen, if the wire pullers of the Citizens’ Associa- tion had acted in good faith towards the people, During the present week the cily politicians have beon “wising up mation iyo mauces which induces veteran political prophets to deciine wing aD opinion apon the prospects for success of any par- euler party.
