many would vote more than once, and some who
j had no right to vote at all. Conscientious men
would vote as often as the law allowed; others as
often as they safely could Soon illegal voting
would grow into system and the petty oihcla!s
or expec,ants of either side would swear they
would lose their places by the illegal practices
of their opponents; they would coun;eract and de-
feat them. SO was it here before the Registry
it not tsder the Registry; will it be
again, now that the Registry is abolished. The
facility afforded to illegal voting would corrupt not
! one party merely, but both. Its true we believe
the advantage, both from more general unscru-
puiousness and a larger command of material for
illegal voters is with opponents; but, leave the
Right of Suffrage as unguarded as it now Is, and
the City will frequently be carried against lts legal
votes-and not always against the Wing party
we, certainly shall not aid countenance illegal
voting but shall always tx the blame in good
part on these who make the mere breath OF claim
ant to yete-it may be an outcass or telon-po-
tsntial to neutralize the Suffrage of any legal
| voter.
| In the Fall Election of 1888, we hare always
believed that good number of votes were thrown
for the Wing ticket, thong Oh we did not know of
one. We Judged simply from the poll. The City
was not carried by Illegal votes, were they all
on one side. But that Glentworth's Falstaf rcgi-
ment cast hundred of them is not true, and he,
while trying TO give the impression that they did,
is careful no. to say it. The truth is, his whole
operation was designed TO extract money from
certain Wings, under pretence that he had involved
himself in nan1uvres which, without money, were
certain to be exposed on the eve of election and
injure the Cause He tried the same game again
in the Spring of 1S39,-when we were over
| whelmed and beaten by illegal votes; and would
doubtless have continued it till now if he could
have got hold of any money by it, without knowing
or caring whether an illegal vote was polled or
not. But, in the absence Of Registry, there is
need of sending to Philadelphia for illegal
voters or those who will vote half dozen times if
paid for it
We do not often ask favors of the Argus but if
it chooses to allude to this article we will thank
it to copy it entire, and hold US indebted for the
favor.
~ We trus, congress will not fix on day OF
adjournment until ii has completed, far is in
it's power the business on which it asscmbed.-
The Tariff and the great measures of Rerench-
ment on which it is engaged ought to be carried
through both Houses before either shall fix on a
day Of adjournment. We should like tc see the 4.
Session at an end, but not till its business is COM
peted.
