The Republican City Convention last evening
nominated Col. FREDERICK A. CoNKLING for
Mayor, and CHARLES p. SHAW. esq, for Cor
poration Counsel Col. COnkling has served
the City with ability and eminent fidelity in
the Assembly and in Congress, and will mako
an excellent Mayor. Mr. Shaw is young man,
but a most industrious and energetic Repub-
ican, who will do his best for the public in
any capacity.
In Tammany Hall, in accordance with the
orders of Tweed and Sweeny, A. Oakley Hall
was nominated for Mayor and Richard OGOr-
man for reelection as Corporation Counsel
These were of course nominated "by accla-
NATION" as any persons would have been
whom the Ring had pitched upon.
The Democratic Union adjourned to this
evening without making nomination.
The Constitutional Union nominated Andrew
II. Green president of the Central Park Com
mission) for Mayor, with 0'GOrman for COun-
eel Mr.. Green would make an excellent
Mayor.
The Mozart Democracy nominated Oakley
Hall for Mayor, with George Shea for Corpora
ton Counsel Mr.. Shea is worthy of a better
associate. He is young man of excellent
character and Thigh promise, who has won dis
tincton at tho bar by the skillful conduct of
several important cases. We heartily wish that
ticket could be made up, including Mr.. Sheas
NAME on which all the opponents of the Tam
many Ring could be united. Such ticket
would sweep the City by thousands, and in
sure most needed reform. Is it yet too late I

WBERE FRAUD STICKS OUT


The upper portion of our City is steadily
growing in population, so that we cannot posi-
lively say that one of its Wards may not legally
poll so many votes this year because it polled
so many in past years. But from the Ioper
Wards population has been steadily receding
for years We voted in different years IN the
Ist. Id, Hid, WITH, With, With, and Vlllth
Wards, when each was thickly studded WIN
boarding houses. well filled with mechanics
clerks, bookkeepets, porters. &C., most OF whom
have long since moved cup town" or out OF
town-to Brooklyn. Jersey City, Yonkers, &C.
&c.-giving place to stores and warehouses
We Judge that there were some thousands
moro of voters in those Wards in 1884 to 1914
than now
In view of this movement, TO which all OF
IA can bear witness wherein most of us have
borne part, just look at the following vote OF
what is now the WITH Congress District, but
which was formerly nearly or quite two DIS
tricts. We include with it the With Ward, so
as to take all so far as we go:

We ask the reader to note how nearly uniform
was the vote of these eight Wards in 1874, IN
1860, and in 1SG4-being highest in IA, rs 1t
should have been. Our Elections then continued
through three days the efforts to elect and to
defeat Mr. Clay were most aTduous; while the
interpositlon of Natiyism caused every alien
to be naturalzed who could be, and good
many to vote without. We had then no Regis
try; we had an intense and al-pervadlng cx-
element; the fear of Natiyism brought every
foreign born voter to the polls; and the migra-
ton uptown had not eliminated. as the vote
of the lowest Wards indicates.
In 1860 the interest and excitement were
very great, and nowhere more vehement than
in the lower Wards of our City. And yet, the
vote fell off. because many voters had moved
up town.
In 1854, the total vote was little higher
than in 1SGO but lower than in 1874. Every
thing that could vote was drawn ont.
In 1868, we find the total vote of these Wards
sweIled by more than Nine Thousand above
that of 1860 OF that of 1854. Yet all here do
know that there has been no increase of popu-
lation in those Wards, nor of legal voters
Fire thousand Of this increase is in the With
and With Wards. Who believes this honcstf

believes it.
These and kindred vilanies have stolen the
vote of New York from Grant and Coltax, and
foisted John T. Hoffman into the Governors
chair. Just wait and see how he prOspers there

a smart thing in thus stufling the ballot-boxes

1t seems that the elections in Great Britain
have been attended with great deal of dis
order; but that is no new thing, and we have
no evidence, so far, that the riots and the
fighting have been worse than a hundred times
before. There has been unusual excitement
about this contest, and good many highland
dry old Tories, who believed that the Reform
Bill would enthrone the mob, and whelm
everything respectable in flood of dirty de-
mocracy, expected a general letting loose of
the disorderly classes of society. A good many
heads have been cracked and windows broken,
a score or so of shops and houses in different
parts of the kingdom demolished, and one or
two lives lost but much worse things were
done in times past, when there was no house
hold suffrage Elections, in fact, have always
been conducted with moro quiet and decorum
in the United States, where tho suffrage is
nearly universal, than in Great Britain, where
it has been greatly restricted; and the nearer
England approaches to our system of popular
government, the mere smoothly she will lind
the exercise of the suffrage to work.
