The Him W. D. O wen In conceded ta be tho vory beet fitted mmi in public lite for the position of Supei inleudfiit of Immigration, a very important office created by the new immigration law, passed last winter. The leading German aud other foreign papers of the country recommend him editorally, and the master workmen of labor assemblies, representing 197,000 Knights, have petitioned the President for his appointment Mr. Owen is not seeking the place, but his appointment is a matter of so obvious fitness that there is little doubt but that it will be tendered to him.

Marshall L. Warren, the liepublican candidate for Town Marshal, is well known of all men in Rensselaer. He has lived here all his life, and there is no mau to speak ill of him. An honorable, industrious, sober young man. A willing and honest worker, whom ho man that ever employed him in any capacity, every found shirking or slighting his work, in any particular. He is well fitted for the office, physically and mentally, has been fairly and honestly nominated, he needs the office aud the office needs him. To go back on such a man will be a shameful and an inexcusable thing. Do not do it brother Republicans; do not do it.

'“lf that ticket isn’t all elected,” said n prominent Democrat speaking of the Kepublican town ticket, “I shall always think that it ought to have been.” Then the hope was expressed that it would be beaten, or some part of it at least, because every defeat, especially of good candidates, helps to demoralize and discourage the‘party. The Democrat’s ideas were sound from his point of view. Every time “Republicans are hoodwinked into defeating their own candidates, just then seeds of disorganization and demoralization are sown in the party, which pave the way for still other defeats in the future. We have a good ticket and nominated without a shadow of unfairness. Let us stand by, like wise and honorable Republicans.

Carter Harrison, the man whom the Democrats of Chicago made mayor of the city three times in succession, and later was the Democratic candidate for governor of Illinois, and all the time a man, in the professed estimation of his party, who was the epitome of all that was * admirable, is now a bolting candidate for mayor in Chicago, and unsparing in his denunciations of the wretched and corrupt adminstration Of the reregular Democratic candidate, De • r ,***..

Of course the* the democratic papers of Chicago and surroumling country have now discovetl that Carter Harrison is'a very bad man and even sueh j strictly non-partisan (?) .sheets as. the Morocco Courier, edited by°Ad.

virus neighbor ever expects to enjoy the people’s printing' pat-j-ronage,- he must make a better T effort to desei' c ii. and nothing [can he gained by slandering his . competitofs. When once the }>eople know lhal ihey can get re- ! spectable work done nt his office, and can depend upon getting it when promised, then and’ not till then, will he receive any share worth mentioning of their patronage. As it now is, he gets all and more than all that he deserves, and to slander and backbite contemporaries for the natural results of his own careless; slovenly and unbusinesslike methods of doing j business, can only result in his j own injury.

CHARLES PLATT.

The late General Assembly made the greatest possible bluff at legistation in favor of the working classes, and adjourned without doing anything to speak of in the direction of complying with the requests from the source to which the Democrats appealed for support last fall in the guise of “the laboring man’s party.” One of the most glaring instances in their determination not to redeem the pledges made was the failure to pass the Inman “employer’s liability” bill. This measure managed to get through the House, but the Senate never had the remotest intention of passing it, or of even seriously considering it. A substitute was reported from committee, and designated as an “amended bill,” which was freely denounced by all workingmen who read it as much worse than the present law. The Senate intended it to be so and took pains that there should be no ' chance of the House concurring in the socalled amendments which, as just stated, practically formed a hew bill. —lndianapolis Journal.
