THE MURDER or PULLMAN.

Elsewhere we give The sad details OF
tho attempted and probable murder OF the
Hon. Christopher Pullman, while in the dis
charge of his duty as a patriot and citizen TO
preserve the purity of the ballot. He has been
struck down as Sumner was felled and dubbed
in the Senate Hall, as Ellsworth was assas-
sinated for boarding a Rebel in his den, and
rs Lincoln was martyred because Lee had sur
rendered and Emancipation had triumphed'
Since the murder of the gifted and noble
Hamilton by Aaron Burr who (and not Jener-
SOM was the founder of the Democratic party
assassination has been the argument
of that party alone. Indeed, 1t mas
become so acknowledged an argument
that to-day in the Democratic conscience BOOM
seems less Infamous than Burr, because MS
crime ia more recent. Senator Brodenck OF
California fell by the hand of Judge Terry
under the influence of the same base ana bru-
tai impulse to murder for opinions sake.
Probably fifteen hundred assassinatlons OF Re
pnblicans by Democrats have occurred within
three years IN the Southern States. Well may
our leader demand, and the people echo his
prayer, "Let Us have peace"
OF course this murder was conceived and
ton with the deliberate intention to brighten
Republicans and deter them from perseyering
in their efforts to prevent fraudulent voting.
The victim was well selected. Mr. Pullman
has made himself thorn in tho side Of the
political thieves of New-York by his manly
and persistent efforts, as n member Of The COM
mon Council, 90 protect the taxpayers and
check the rotten stream Of plumber which
flows through our City Government. Aided 10y

TIE HOEK lis STRUCKl


With this sheet. our voice will reach many
Of our readers for tho last time before Election.
Hear rs for our Cause, for it Is that of Free
dom, Humanity, and our Country
We do not need new converts, though these
are always welcome. We have an abundance
of voters already 20 insure the election Of
Grant and ColfaX. Nor do we need any ex-
traordnary effort to bring the voters to the
polls. We must look after the laggards; but
they are comparatively handful. Ninety nine
of every hundred Republicans will vote any
how, rain or shine though they should have
to walk miles through storm to do so. The
difficult task would be to keep them away
from tho polls. Effort is only needed to get in
our last vote early in the day as may be. He
is below an average Grant man who can be
induced to postpone voting till after noon of
the eventful day.
The real remaining work of the canvass is
to Keep the Jdllot-bores unpolIuted by fraud
uIent uOtes. Our managing adyersaries know
right well that they cannot beat Gen. Grant
by fair means. The task that proved too
mighty successfully for Floyd for Bcauregard,
for PembertoD, Bragg and Lee, is entirely
beyond their strength. They can seem to win
by fraud alone.
Men and brethren. we must not let them
win by fraud We must all work day and
and night to prevent it Where registration
of legal voters il required by law, we must
attend it, watch its progress, and scrutinize
the lists when complete. In every election
district we must attend the poll in force from
its opening to its close, and thenceforth till
the last vote has been duly counted and the
result distinctly proclaimed. No sleep next
Tuesday night till the last shadow of chance
for fraud has disappeared
Let no man vote an electoral ballot till he
shall have carefully read it and compared il
with the ticket of his State as officially printed
Take ballots as they may be offered you, but
vote those handed you by one whom you
knoo to DO all right. Remember that one
name too many on ballot, even though it be
but repetition, vitiates the entire vote. All
manner of swindling ballots are already in cir
culation. Vote only those taken from trusty
hands, bat thoroughly scrutinize even these be-
fore presenting them to the Inspectors. You are
choosing a President for four years, and thereby
deciding momcntous questions-perhaps con-
clusively. Give Gftecn minutes to making sure
that y6fr to says what you mean. Is that
too much IF not, exhort your friends and
neighbors to do likewise.
Republicans! the Five Forks of your long
struggle were passed on tho 18th inst.-your
Appomattox lies fair and plain before you.
You will not. YOU cannot fat TO improve your
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-10-31

Good men of whatever politics I!
will you aid in detecting the villains
who, not being legal voters, seek to
register and vote as though they
were? We ask you to act promptly,
vigorously, for the preservation OF
your own rights and those Of your
children. Scrutinize the registry
of your election district, object to
any ones registering who is not a
legal voter, and be prepared to
challenge if he should nevertheless
attempt to vote. A few hours
personal effort now may save your
country from fearful calamitieS.
