New-York tribune., 1870-10-31
NOW, REGISTERS!

The Mayor of our City, in circular sur
charged with malignant venom against the
Federal authorities for their interference with
those shameless aud cunning frauds" which
the Editor of The World testiiies that he saw
committed in 1868 by the tools OF VIM. NJ.
Tweed land A. Oakley Hall, calls upon every
elector in our City TO come forward and he
registered either To- Dayor 1o-MoTow: the Reg
istrics closing absolutely at +. NJ. Tomorrow,
while no person can lawfully vote at our State
Election next week who shall not have been
registered by that time. We reiterate aud
emphasize that request. Let every legal voter
be sure that his name is on the list; and 1t
cannot be unless he now apply personally at
the place designated in his election district,
prepared TO substantiatc his right to vote on
Tuesday week. Let us have the fullest pos
sible Registration of Legal Voters; to which
end, fifteen minutes will doubtless suffice II
you attend to it To- Day. IF you put il of to
the last moment, you may find yourself in the
rear of a crowd and your turn come too
late but who will be in fault but yourselfa
IL is your duty to vote and to be registered
in order that you may. The Right OF Suffrage
is no mere privilege or pcrquisite, but grave
public responsibility If there be bad candi-
dates, it is your duty TO vote against them !;
if there are none others. it is your duty to
make good ones by voting for them. Nothing
can excuse your refusal or neglect to vote.
The hurricane tof lies now darkcnmg our
City's atmosphere will not disconccrt you.
The villains who have Systematically de-
bauched our elections by foisting bushels of
illegal votes into the ballot-boXes feel that
their craft is in danger. They want TO cheat
now, and at the same time to hide the extent
of their past swindling. Hence their dcafen-
ing clam0r about Federal ships of war, Fed
cral concentration of troops, negro regiments
Federal deputy marshals, &c, &c. &c. They
have not the slightest fear of molestaton
from these except to their old games of fraud
ulent voting and false canvassing. Their con-
Germ is for these, and there is ample reason for
it, If they get Five Thousand Illegal votes
into the boxes next week. at least half those who
poll them shall break stone for il, if ii takes
all the Federal Judges to try the felons and
all the Federal army to enforce their sen
tences. "That e what is the matter" And
the cry that jail-birds arc employed as Fed
eral supervisors means just this: They know
that the men thus denounced are up TO their
vllainous games, and will certainly spot the
rcpeaters and hunt them to their DOOM They
want none employed rs supervisors who know
anything of repeating but by vague hearsay,
and then they think it would be safe again TO
poll S84 Democratic votes in district which
has but $40 inhabitants all told, as they did
last Spring But let some of the rcpeaters OF
past years be set to watch for repcatcrs, and
their old cronies will be afraid to operate
hence the camOr.
Honest upright, legal voters! be cntreated
to register and TO vote once For the rest,
all is provided. BE assured that rcpeaters
shall not nulify your ballots this year
REGISTER TO-DAYi
