Before the Election of 1910, it was the stand
ing complaint of the Loco-Focos that the Wings
concealed their intentions, and ssoud not declare
the principles on which they intended to conduct
the Government, but smothered all inquiries in
hurrah for Log Cabins, Coenskins, Hard Cider
and Tippecanoe. Nor these same veracious gen.
tlemen assert that the Wings promised e0ery
thing and pledged themselves TO every thing, pos
sible and impossible, in that very contest of 1Si0
Do not these two falsehoeds the trouble
of refuting either?


LocoFocoIsM IN THE COMMON CouNcIL.-We
gave yesterday q summary of the business done at
the meeting of the two Boards on Monday night; F;
but we find in the Americana sketch of the debate
of the evening" which brings moro directly to view
some of the distinctive features of Loco-F ocoism
as i, exists in the Common Council of our city
We will briefly note a few of the measures they
attempted to pass.


l. The defaulter STEVENSON, who yet retains in
his pocket 5000 belonging to the City Treasury,
had the impudence to put in petition for payment
of cages IN arrears: and Aid. Leonard and Pur-
dy con,ended stoutly that such payment should be
made, the former maintaining that in eqmity,
though not in law, it was due. Aid. Crolius re-
minded them of the fact that his father was turned
out of Office by the Loco-Fscos to make room for
Stevenson; that he had performed much labor be-
fore his election for which he had never received
a cent, and of which Stevenson had availed HIM
self.


9. Aid. Leouard wished certain remonstrances
against Crstoa Aqueduct Contracts te be referred
10 Speeia, Committee, for he had heard the'
tacorttism rather Ithan justice had governed the
allowance of their contracts; he appealed to tie
magnanilnity of the majority to allow some of the
Loco Focos 10 bs on the Committee. In reply
Aid. Davies said that when AID Leonard presided
over the Committee contracts wers given out at
$l,l00 per mile which were now taken at sa0oi
and that in 1910, under Loco-Foco rule, not
single Wing was perTsitted TO be on the Commit
tee, whereas new there were two of the Loco
Focos: These facts sufficiently met the charges OF
WAsg fayoritism and narrow-mindedness.


4. Tho Hold-over officers refuse to pay over the
money in their hands to the Treasury, which fact
the Comptroller has officially reported The de-
fulers have sent in strings of reasons for their
duct which Aldermen Purdy and Leonard urged
should be printed at she pE6lie srpense' Verify
this is the age of impudenee. These worthy gen.
slemen plainiy declared, that if Tom Lloyd should
send in q papsr to explain how he came to steal
that 100000 from the people, they woald Plunder
the people OF an additional sum 10 pay for print
ing it!
