THE FIRST AND LAST CARD.

The ''last cards" of the party in power are ex-
actly of piece with the first cards they played
on their ascendancy to the places they have so
dishonored and abused, and which they have
continued to play in order to maintain their su-
premacy in the Government Their last card,
like their first card, is their ONLY CARD. II is
rRAuD-deliberate, systematic, established fraud
fraud in which the whole crew who have heen
enabled to possess themselves of the salary OF
Office, from the President down to the lowest
'subesd'".s', have .heen active participants. The
system upon which the Administration has PFC
ceeded is founded on fraud. II has been all I'M
POSTURE from beginning to end. The only
thing in which the Administration and its parti-
zans has been consistent is their steady, perse-
vering, undertaking denuncation in course Of
fraud.

TRAGEDY TURNED FARCE.

The DEVELOPMENTS connected with the present tur-
moil about election frauds are melancholy enough, in
the general but here and there presents matter su-
prcmely ridiculous. The sorrow and disgust with
which all honest are moved in reading of them,
are relieved intervals by uncomfortable bursts OF
meriment. For example-anong the wordy affidavits
set forth on Thursday morning, containing fatal
evidence of rascality the part of the Wings, was
one made by Mr. Wall, keeper Of the public house
at Hurlgate ferry, stating in substance that party
to his house in carriages, after the election
of 1888, among whom were two brothers named Geer
that money given by Of these brothers to
vera of his companions, who were then struggled on
board schooner, bound eastward; and that, from
their conversation, he learned, inferred that the
parties SO struggled away had been depositing illegal
Wing votes, and were running away from justice
Yesterday morning another affidavit published,
made by one Theodore Southland and apparently con-
frning the statements of Wall.
But simultaneously with the affidavit of Southland
appears one made by Roswell Bontecou who was also
present at the embarkation Of the mysterious party
and knows all about it and from his account It APP
pears that the individuals who put board the
schooner, instead of being fraudulent voters flying
from justice, were-strollng players setting out
tramp to Halifax Many Of our readers will probably
remember that the subject is revived before Them
certain appearances of young man named Geer, at
one Of the city theatres-that young of
the brothers Geer referred to by Wall and Sou.hard
and the money that paid was kindly advanc-
ed to him by his brother to nd him in stead should
the expedition prove unsuccessful The other pas
sengers members Of the company of which one
Duvernay was the manager and the little precautions
taken to avoid notice rendered necessary by the
fact that Of the party leaving debts behind

DEsPoTIC PRECEDENTs.

As the Globe finds in the maxims Of the Cour,
party in the time of Charles the First the justification
Of its favorite doctrine that the ExEcUrvE is the best
defender Of the rights and liberties qfs PEOPLE, and
the natural presever Of the integrity Of the Consttu
ton against the representatives Of the people, the
official editors yokefeow, the partisan Recorder Of
New York, has found precedent of equally high au-
thorty in favor Of his audacious act of seizng the pa
pers Of Glentworth to promote extra Judicial and
political object The New York Signal revives to
this worthys recollection the of Charles the Sc
cond, who, by virtue Of his authority as King and
Judge seized upon the private property Of those of his
subjects who opposed to his arbitrary acts dur
ing his crusade against the remaining his liberties Of
subjects.
The same paper cites also the following parallel
case:
Another is TO be found in the acts of that
fierce republican, Robespere of the Gallic school Of
revoutonists who, by virtue Of his authority tr
umvr of France sought every possible occasion to seize
upon the private papers Of those who considered
nimcal to his sanguinay rule that he might the
surely bring their heads to the block and prop up his
bloody government by hccatombs Of the victims he
slew -

speaks as follows Of Mr.. Tallmadge.
Mr.. Tallmadge, addressed the multitude for three
or four hours in speech of tremendous power
Though argumentative in the highest degree, the
speech abounded with sketches Of political history Of
the country for the last twelve and particularly for the
last three four years. salies Of wit cutting though
courteous irony and sarcasm and fine flights Of elo-
qoence
1t may give some idea Of the enthusiasm of the
people and Of the strong desire to catch every word
that fell from the lips Of the eminent and eloquent
Senator that though it began to rain after he
commenced speaking, and continued with but occa-
sona intermissions during the whole of his speech,
the crowd remained without material dimnuton until
he closed As many could, sheltered themselves
uuder umbrellas, and those who could not, stood and
took IL like true, unlinchng Wings.
The frequent and hearty cheers with which the
Senator greeted through the whole Of his speech
demonstrated that his sentiments such found a
ready response in the bosoms ofintellgent reemen.

THE NEW YORK CONSPIRACY.

At a meeting of the TpPEcANoE CLUB OF WASH
INaToN, held at the Log Cabin on Saturday evening,
the Executive Committee, to whom was delegated the
duty Of draughtng resolutions expressive of the
of the Club in relation to the recent exploded conspi
racy in New York, submitted the following preamble
and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted
As citizens Of free country, while we cherish the
elective franchise with sacred love, and warmly de-
nounce all who seek to violate its purity weaken its
efficacy cannot discover in the conduct of promi-
nent leaders of the Admnsti alton party in the city
New York. or their willing tools in other sections OF
the country heartfelt disposition to protect this right
but base unworthy effort of expiring faction to
direct the public mind from their own venality and
corruption and by the destruction Of high minded
men, distinguished champions Of their countrys cause,
to retain as the spos of victory the power which has
been so shamefully abused: therefore
Resolved In the opinion Of this Club the heart that
planned snd the hand that executed foul conspi-
racy as that exhibited in the late attempt to ax fraud
and unsuspecicd integrity belong not to an American
citizen but to who while he may claim to be- is
an alien his country, her laws, liberty and instu
TONS and should ever be held upto the scorn and utter
detcstation Of all good men.
Resoiped, That, from limitations, threats, and in
situations which, from time, like the low mutterings
of the coming earthquake, have fallen upon
from the lips Of opponents, time previous To
the bursting of this foul conspiracy, we have every
reason and do sincerely believe that, if not actually
planned in this city, was known TO the Executive
Chief Magistrate before il was finally developed; and
from its entire and total failure, deem i the beg
carly child Of one who sbeggared honor principle
moral north, and integrity
Rssoired, That this Club deeply regret that few
individuals in this community in conjunction with
Executive Office holders have baseIy united them.

whose emily ann is to retain their ilIgoen "spois to
fasten upon honorable men such an unholy crime.

Resumption Of Specie Payments. The banks are

THE TRUTH COMING.

While all the noise and shouting has been made
about certain men going from Philadelphia to New
York to vote the Wing ticket, although il does not
appear that any did VOTE has been proven that these
Wings went only to detect the fraud of the Loco Fo-
cos, who left this city to vote and re-vote their own
ticket in New York. The fact of hundred Loco
Focos voting fraudulently seems to be regarded as
much less a matter of reproach than one Wing should
be suspected of such misdemeanor. But here is an
affidavit which shows what the Philadelphia Locos
were doing in New York;. S. Gazette
City and County Of Ne,o York, IS.
Lewis Pavie, Of the city of New York, being duly
sworn deposes and says that he resides at the public
house kept BY A. Livingston, No. 3 Chatham street,
in said city That during the election in the fall OF
1888, deponent lodged at the same house where he
resides; that during the evening Of the second
day of the election deponent saw in the barroom of
said house three persons, by the name Of John DAILY,
- Broad and - Smith, who had all been lodg-
ing at the said house for about two weeks previous
thereto and who had all stated to deponent that they
came FROM and belonged to- the city of Philadelphia
that on the said evening ono Daniel D. Nash, now
one of the Marshas of the city Of New York. called
for said PERSONS and they all left said house together
that the said DAILY, Broad and Smith, did not sleep in
the house of said Livingston that night; that on the
following morning, being the last day Of the election
between II and 10 o'clock, deponent again saw said
DAILY, Broad and Smith, ut the house of said Living
ston that dcponcnt then inquired ofthem where they
had been the night previous; that they replied that
they had been sleeping the night previous in the Sixth
Ward of this city, and stated that they had all of
them voted the Loco Foco ticket in said Sixth Ward,
and that said Broad further stated that he had voted
in four different Wards that morning; that deponent
told said DAILY, Broad and Smith, that they were not
entitled to vote in this city, they resided in the
city of PHILADELPHIA that they said they had right
to vote in any Ward in this city where they had slept
one night and that they didn't care, as they were
hard up and wanted money and that they were to
receive five dollars apiece for voting" that upon the
following day deponent saw said Daniel D. Nash again
come in the bar-room Of said Livingstons house,
where he met said DAILY, Broad, and Smith, who all
drank with said NASH his invitation that deponent
then said Nash take from his pocket roll Of bank
bills, and give to each of them one of said bills, which
the said DAILY, Smith, and Broad all admitted depo-
nent were five dollar bills, and which they had re-
ceivcd from said Nash the price of their vote that
few days afterwards the said DAILY Smith, and
Broad left this city and returned to the city Of Phla-
delphia.
