We have Information daily of secret meet
ings held in this city by these sane radical
men, and proposals. discussed in those

New Work City Elections.

The Journat IF Commerce recalls a:ten-
ton to the following vivid facts.
II is not two weeks since we saw an
election conducted under radical auspices
with orators threatening to hang the OPP
posing candidates. with police officers be
hind the polling desks, threatening voters
with draft that WAS never intended TO take
place, and arreslins exempt old men Tor
daring to vote when they were too aged to
lioht. 1t i not two weeks since the New
York Times lead mob to deprive the
American citizen of his character, his
righ,s. his free ballot in the State of New
York. Let no attempt be made TO deny
this. The men who were calling us and
our candidates traitors, threatening us
with the gallows, and hurling at us every
form of viliaiDous epithet were mob as
much rs if they had thrown paving stones
instead of words, or had ornamented the
lamp posts with pendent conservatives, a;
they threatened TO do.

that the administration have cont, mldu.

If it so be that tie administration have

that information must be communicated
