LIKE MASTER, LIKE MAN

1t always happens in the play that no
sooner is the heavy villain dispatched or
handcufed than there comes along some con-
vcnient baliff who packs off to prison the
comic rascal who hoped to escape his masters
fate. Fortunately for society, matters are so
disposed in real life that the great rogue tot
tering to his ruin generally drags his little
imitators down with him. 1t is reassuring to
see the Tammany Ring in its fall crushing
that other iniquitous one of Erie; and it is
positive happiness to behold in one
week William NJ. Tweed, the master,
and James Fisk, jr., the man, in
the Sherif7s hands, and to know that there is
some hope of seeing Ingersoll and Woodward,
too, under bonds For the immediate present,
however, Tweed passes from the stage; Inger-
soil and Woodward have sneaked away unob-
served at the upper wings or to the remote
background, and Prince Erie is the central
figure of the scene. Opera Bouffe is once
more the fashion, and it is ushered in with
one of the spiciest and most disreputable of
burlesQues in which the valiant knight of
July u is the Hero. 1t is somewhat difficult
to conceive of him in any other character than
that of Falstaff in fight or the signing lover
weeping over elected gum shoes; but this
time he comes discarding his love with i'm
precautions on her eyes.
Like many other foolish men, Mr. Fisk, jr.,
has in his time been given to trusting his Sc
crets as well as his reputation to woman's
keeping, and some of the letters written In
confding hours and sentimental moods to Miss
Helen Josephine Mansfield, whose aliases are
too numerous to mention, are about 10 return
to plague the indiscreet penman. For The lost
reputation Mr.. Fisk has no cause, perhaps, TO
make o. much ado as CasMo did for hiss but
his secrets, IL we are to believe all that is now
revealed in the letter and afidavits we pub
lish, are Of more Importance to him. These be

involve the whole corrupt history Of the

another triumph next week In short, all that
we have ever charged with reference to frauds
at the polls is meager and tamo when COM
pared with what the Democratic Reformcrs
are now saying. And they speak from long
and sad experience.
We will not unbury tho past yet we cannot
forget how persistently, how earnestly, we
have striven to render fraud at elections i'm
possible, and how steadily, how stubbornly,
we have been resisted by tho Democratic
magnates and wire workers of our State. In
successiye Legislatures since 1910, in two Con-
stitutional Conventions, and in tho journalism
of the last forty years, the Demo-
cratic orarles have secuted the suggestion
that the elections Of our Cities but especially
Of this City, were systematically corrupted by
illegal voting or by knavish miscOunting.
And vet, no sooner does an intelligent man
fall out of the Tammany line than he begins
to say, "Your elections arc polluted by fraud
"Thc results proclaimed are nothing like the
Judgment of the legal electors who voted. L
" know them to be shams. You must devise new
"sarcgnards on the ballOt-bOx or you might as
"wcll authorize the Tammany sachems to return
"whatcvcr they please as the result, and save
yourselves the trouble Of going to the polls"
And they only proclaim what was made known
to them in confidence by brother Democrats in
the past. They are precluded from telling all
they know, but they cannot refrain from put
ting us more fully on our guard.
Vain will prove the victory in which an abused
and indignant people is about to pronounce
sentence on the Ring unless the ballOt-boxcs
are oil watched throughout next Tuesday, and
unless effective means are devised for prevent
ing and furnishing future crimes against the
Right Of Suffrage.

infamous Erie Ring it is unfortunate for the
English shareholders, and perhaps, too, for
public morality, that Miss Mansfield is pre-
yonted from publishing them by an officous
suburban Judge, who appears emulous of the
discarded mantle Of the great Enjoiner Bar
nard. 1t ought to be understood that the
time Is past when the whole machinery Of our
Courts can be used to protect the bad interests
of the Erie Ring, and when our highest Judges
can prostitute themselves and their sacred
Offices to tho service Of men whose out
RACES upon law and decency are as
notorious as the acts committed ~
Jay Could and James Fisk, Jr. II
Miss Mansfield or any other person has such
written proof of the illegal acts Of these men
and others az she intimates, which can legally
be employed to force them to disgOrge their
plumber of the Erie Company, We submit that
this is no time to permit considerations Tor
their character to bar the way to action IN
the matter Judge Pratt's injunction should
be removed and the papers in Miss Mansilelds
hands placed in those Of the proper author
tiles that the alleged rascalS may BIO publicly
prosecuted.
1t is intimated that these letters from Fisk,
IT., confess the frauds which everybody knows
were committed in the transfer of the Erie
Railway books to jersey in 1863. They con-
tain revelations of that bargain which no man
doubts was made by which the Legislature was
bought to put Gould and his men into posses
sion once more in this city, and also glimpses
of that nine weeks life of alternate hope and
despair in which Fisk drcamt !Of "a Fisk
palace in New-YOrk or a stone one at Sing
"Sing" with only a cottage outside the walls
for the fair partner of his flight. The truth
from Fisks own lips, if We may be-
icvc, after Miss Mansfcld's present story that
truth can pass t1em-abOut the Black
Friday speculation and reputation Bis con-
tanned in the correspondence which this
wrong-headed Judge insists on keeping from
the public that a worthless reputation may
not be further sOiled. All indeed of Fisk, jr.'s,
public career in which the public have any
interest, and the infamous record of the trans
actions of the present Erie directors, are
involved in these papers. Naturally there Is
an eagerness to see them. 1t is questionable,
indeed, if the people who have suffered at
their hands have not right to sift this evil
dcnCe for themselves.

NOW. REGISTER

This day. the electors Of this City are invited
to present themselves for registration in their
several Election Districts preliminary to our
State and City Election next Tuesday. Cor
districts and boundaries, see official notice
herewith published.) We again entreat every
legal elector to register this morning, before
attending to any other business. The dis
tricts are small, averaging less than
four hundred legal voters, and very
few need devote more than fifteen minutes to
this duty. And, though some will vote who
are not registered, they can only do so by
giving o sufficient reason for not having reg
istered; which you, who read this in our
City, cannot give. If you are a legal voter,
and mean to vote just once, you will
thankfully accept and conform to the
very slight safeguards legally thrown
around the Right of Suffrage; if you are a
fraudulent voter or repeater, you will hate
registration, as righteous laws are naturally
hated by all your kind. Your dislike ia the
laws justification.
Few words must suffice. Enable us to an
nounce tomorrow that Forty to Fifty Tbou.
sand voters were registered to-day!
