CURRENT COMMENT MATTERS OF GENERAL AND LOCAL INTEREST DISCUSSED. An Impartial Review of the Coming County Election.—The Talk of The Gosaips. The machine wheels of politics turn again; alow, even and smooth at first, and a auspiciously undemonstrative quiet la maintained by bere-to-fore loud-spoken party leaders, which only beapeaks tbe fierceness of the coming contest. Indeed, it would seem that this extreme bush is tbe uucanny forerunner of a cloud-burst which may atrike the political field of this city at a time, after tbe combined heads of party schemers have made their plans, act their trap* and are ready to spring them upon the unsuspecting, conaieutioua voters, who until now, have not tbe sligbte»t shadow of tbe outcome of the deep laid plot against their own, aud the city’s interest. Some of the things on which acandidate for council at tbe coming municipal electlou ought to be outspoken upon this year are how be stands on the following questions:—Economy. Will be be for gas or electric light? Does he believe In music ou tbe beach front, or will be oppose It? Will be vote to lurtber Increase the water supply, and will he use his efforts to do away with tbe Washington street

well ?

Will be vote for the establishing of our sewerage system on a scientific basis in accordance with plana for which the city baa paid 4500.00? Will he represent the people and their need, and tbe city’s best Imereats at all

times, or not ?

These are the requisites which the voters may consider in preparing their 1

ballots on November 5.
