FRIDAY MORNING, O'clock.
News has just reached Tammany Hall that the
eighth ward has gone for the Locos by 22S majority,
and six guns have Just been fired in consequence. II
this be true then the chances are that Varan has
been elected Mayor
The causes Of this extraordinary reaction easily
be enumerated lst the insane orgies at Niblos after
the last electon-2nd, the arrogance exhibited at the
tendollar Astor House fets-3rd, the journey Of the
clique of fools to Washington, and causing the death
of Ciley 4h, the mad conduct of the Boardof Trade
against the Phenix Bank-5th the equally bad behavior
of the wing Assembly on the same point-6th, the in
sufferabe arrogance of Joe Hoxie and his clique in
the Corporation and their terrible profusion-7h, the
fooleres of the wing press of Wall street, particu-
larly of the Star and Courer-Sth the treacherous in
tngues of The financial clique of the American with
the locofocos, for mere ssckjobbing purpeses-9th,
the indscreet letter of Mr. Biddlel0th, the persecs
lions of the Wall press against the Herald, and
the wary policy OF James Gordon Bennett in the whg
cause.
For such reasons the wings have been licked and
for breach of contract with me they must yet take
another licking from tomorrow. After which, we
mean 10 reorganise the wings on the Canal street
plan, and lead them to victory next fall election,
when they can elect governor, if they will follow
our lead
FoUR O'CLOCK, IL APRIL.
The MORAL RESULT OF THE ELEcTIoN.-I write
this article before know the arithmeuca and Pollti-
cal result of the election. write il at four o'clock,
this blessed afternoon, the 18th of April 1885, with
the bright sun shining upon me from the southwest,
hike ray of light from heaven, coming through my
BaphaRous window blinds l write from the full
ness Of my heart, and from the impulses Of moral
sentiment and pious feelings Gsd knows have
nothing 10 spare of these materials of salvation.
Whatever the political result of this election may
be, the moral result is known, and greater disgrace
10 New York. or TO any city under heaven, since the
age Of Sodom never took place in the civilized world
OF the $4,000 votes which will be polled, at least
5000 are Illegal 90, in by fraud perjury, and decep-
tIon There be no doubt Of this The election
has been farce-a perfect farce. Thousands, on
both SIDES have voted twice. thnce four or five times
per day. l have heard Of men voting in ten wards
the first daylight the secondhand as many as they
could on the third day before they got drunk. Be-
ngs have come out of the earth, up from the sea,
whom no body had ever seen n that mement-
crowdng, swearing and voting at the polls
No country, party, or people ever witnessed such
scenes OF corruption New York has exhibited du-
ring the last three days. There has been no legal
elecllon-those who are, or may be elected, by the
nominal returns, cannot ,e Il they really elected.
Both parties have been equally corrupt, and the de-
moralizauon Of New York is complete. Heaven
have mercy on US
As specimen Of the Political morals Of the day,
take the following A ragged, unshaven, dirty look
ing rascal was in certain rum hole yesterday after
noon. He was Boosting Of his deeds al the election.

,em. Ca the second day had cut ost he work O.

BILE beadache-everslept myself, and could no,

of the meras of the spring election Of 1888.
