Tile H0TE OF OLE CITY

The World continually harps upon the recent
poll of our City as though Republicans were
denouncing it as swelled by illegal votes. lhe
fact is quite otherwise. We had very far
honest election this year, thanks to recent
Federal legislation, and its efficient enforce
ment by the President and his subOrdinates.
The Republicans were distracted and despond-
ent. so that their vote was not nearly called
out: the Democrats were sanguine and had
n Presidential candidate in training, so
that, by a lavish expenditure OF public
money, they drew out nearly every voter
they had. They had not less than Twenty
Thousand men drawing pay from the CITY
for the week before election, all OF whom
were constrained to do their utmost for Holt
man, many of whom did nothing else for the
City's money. Never before were polls nearly
30 numerous never before were such Efforts
made to call out the Democratic vote; and II
WAS out as never before on any but Presl-
dental election, if even then. Hoifman's 66,66o
votes are the full party strength, very mod
erately sweled by fraud: the vote for Wood
ford was about three-fourths of what he should
have received. The feud of Police VS..
Custom House cost him many votes; gen.
eral apathy and discouragement many
more. AT best, we can not call out nearly
our full vote at any other than Presidential
election. Hoffman had about $4,000 fraudulent
votes here in GS; he had hardly tenth OF
them this year, simply because the new Census
and the action Of the Federal authorities rem
dered it unsafe to poll them.
Those who ask why the ratio of voters to
inhabitants is smaller here than in the country
try to forget that the population of this City
is very largely alien, as that of our rural dis
tricts ia not. We have here many more females
than males, as they have not in the rural
counties. Then there are thousands of our
legal voters travelling or sOjourning abroad
absent on business throughout the world, sail
ing vessels on every sea, &c, &c. All the rest
of the State has hardly so many voters who
are thus precluded from voting as this City
alone
