Fair Registration and Fair Election

The Little Rock journal Of the 9th has an
excellent article, reviewing this subject and
olo-os With the following very timely ad-
monition to any who may wish to do the bid
ding of the corrupt State House ring:
II we mistake not the present indications.
the STAKE administration contemplate frauds
in the coming registration and election. With
few exceptions the officers appointed are
those WHO have been the supple tools of the
Governor for the last four years, and in some
instances have stained their regulations by
irving 10 defraud the people in previous
elections Should Grant succeed in winning
the presidential seat for four years more these
registrars and election officers might escape
indictments and convictions before the courts
OF the country on the same grounds that the
Arkansas ballOt-boX stuilcrs were kept out
OF the penitentlary. But should Horace
Greeley be elected. which now amounts to n
moral certainty, woe TO the wrong-doers ;
swift and impartial justice will oyertake
,hem as the Lord lives. and no such subter-
fugs a. that resorted to by Clayton. Grant
Caldwell and Co. will suffice to protect them
from the just punishment ota violated law.
1t remains with the people of this State, to
great extent, irrespective of party whether
we will have a fair registration and election.
Eternal vigilance is the price of3iberty,
and ii we are indifferent to our rights we may
expect 20 be re hbed OF them, but If we are
wide awake. always on our guard watching
and defending our rights our enemies will
be foiled, and we will be able to secure what
OF right is ours,

admission;
The great battle-ground OF the present
campaign Is In the three States Of New York
Pennsylvania and Indiana However other
States may 80 the party which carries two OF

sire 70 call the attention OF Republicans and
Republican managers 10 the necessities Of the
situation. In the state of New York, while
We have reasonable assurance or success. Il
is accompanied with one imperative condl-
tion-that of thorough. vigorous and instant
organization and unceasing labor Follow
the splendid example of Indiana. where the
Republican forces have been organized with
militnry precision and thoroughness.
1t thus appears the Times has paused long
enough in It's vitnpera,lon to take a rational
survey Of the electoral probabilities. and II;
