Any doubts they felt sprang from tho knowledge of thy nature and aims and methods of bosses and of boodlcrs. The decision of Judgo DoxoircE to tho effect that Joux J. O'BiUEX 13 eligible to ruiippointment to his present post of Chief of tho Buroau of Elections is not a matter of much consequence. Jf it bo taken as an interpretation of tho it can hard- ly be taken seriously in that only f.s tlio authority of tho Police Com- rs to appoint him if they choose. lhat would require tho consent of one of tho Democratic Commissioners as as that of tho two Republicans. If tho Demo- crats wish to keep him in office ther can do it by maintaining tho dead-lock that now prevents any appointment to hi3 place, tho odium that come from voting directly for him. Tho c.Jse. moreover. Trill necessarily bo ap- pealed. Judge DOXOIIUE contents himself citing .an opinion of tho Corporation Counsel given before O'BiiiKN's term had expired that ho was not then required to submit to an examination in order to retain his pLico.

Nobody will suspect Mr. EOIXTNB of any complicity in thla attack upon his competitor. In our Judgment Mr. EOLLTNS onght'to bo elected, bat the opponents of Judge LA.WHENCE ought not to resort to means that fall little short of a'publio scandal. We call attention once moro to the appeal of the Citizens' Committee on High License, -will he found in our advertising col- umns, in behalf of ROBERT RAT HAMILTON, of tho Eleventh Assembly District, and ERXEST H. CROSBY, of tho Twenty-first These two gentlemen deserve a ro-oleotion on their general record ns able and upright legislators, working consistently for meas- ures in tho public interest and against jobbery of every kind. They havo been sin- gled out for attack by tho liquor dealers on account of their effective support of tho High License bill, and organized ofTot'ts, backed by a largo corruption iund, aro being made to secure their defeat. Every citizen who is in favor of n rational restriction of tho liquor traffic and of honesty and courage in legislative action should, without distinc- tion of party, rally to their support. Thero will be a close watch for fraud and corrup- tion on tho part of their unscrupulous oppo- ncntd, and everybody who is in a position to secure evidence of bribery or other viola- tion of tho election laws should bo pre- pared to make it available, for thcro is no doubt of an intended resort to wholesale corruption. Not only should Mr. HAMIL- TON" and Mr. CROSBY be re-olected as a vindication of tho character and principles of tho people of thoir districts, but any effort to corrupt tho ballot box should bo exposed and punished. Tho .members of tho Hotel Association aro acting under bad advice in making a pub- lic appeal, in their collective, capacity, against the election of Judge LAWRENCE. They put their, opposition to him upon tho _ground that ho rendered a decision that -would have ruined their business and driven strangers and travelers from the- city." Of tho merits of that decision tve heretofore spoken. They are not m luestion in considering tho action of the hotel keepers. It is a scandal that a liti- gant, or a number of litigants, should ap- peal for tho defeat of a Judge because he has rendered a decision against If tho Legislature passes a law that -will "ruin tho business" of any class of cit- izens, is it the business of a Judge to nullify, that lawt Apparently that is the opinion of the hotel keepers. They Tvoold probably say that the decision unjust and it clearly seems to havo been unsound they do uotsay so in their circular, batappealnaked- 'ly to the "interest" of w Tho well-known fact that Col. JOHN R. FELLOWS has tho sympathy and support of the "boodlors" in exile and tho "boodlers" under indictment at homo, of thoso who aro habitual violators of laiv, or who desire to violate tho law with impunity, of tho criminal and disreputable classes generally, ought to bo reason enough why honest and respectable citizens should vote against him. Tho interests of the public are dia- metrically opposed to thoso of tho support- ers of FELLOWS. This is the be do cldcd to postpone Ills purchase till tlio following day.
