New-York tribune., 1872-10-08
able number of bogus tickets without dotcc-


ton.
Read the notice elsewhere of the way money
used TO ZEE raised at the New-for Post-Oihcc
for political purposes, and of the way 1t lS
raised now. under the Civil Service Reform
Administration of President Grant. The little
finger of the Grant Civil Service RefoImers is
regarded by the poor clerks as worse than tho
loins of tho old lot.
Sufficient noto1iety has already been gwen
to the lobby operations of the old Union
Pacific Railroad i. D., to lead us to expect
such statement as its President Mt Perry
has Just made public. In letter written
after tho failure of the Company to get an
extension of their road through Ncw-Menco,
he s1id that the bill might have been saved
if the managers had been willing to buy votes
by States.
Voters in New-YorS and Brooklyn are re-
minded that they have to-day an opportunity
of registering. The list of places for registry
in this City is too long TO print in these col
umns, but it is officially advertised. The
Brooklyn registering Offices were published in
full on the fifth page of THE TRIBUNE of Mon
day. Every man entitled TO vote should see
to it at once that his name Is enrolled, and en-
rolled at once.
In three Congress Districts of Massachusetts
the lid, IVth, and Vth-the Liberals have
strong hopes Of olecting their candidates.
tribune correspondent whose letter is printed
to-day, reviews the field, and sums up encour-
agingly for the Liberal cause. The guberna-
torial nomination is yet unsettled, and lively
interest is felt in its final disposition. We are
promised a healthy reduction of tho Grant
majority in tbe Bay State.
Although the political excitement which
grows out of the elections in Ohio, Indiana,
and Pennsylvania is dominant in the city, local
politicians are busy. The reports which we
publish in our local columns show that the
Liberal Republican and Democratic confer
ences are approaching a harmonious adjust
ment of the different interests involved in the
nominations for city offices. SO far, tho gen
eral feeling has apparently been one OF con-
cession and fOrbearance.
Mr. Bradlaugb, who publishes in London
Republican journal, has thereby fallen under
the ban of the British Ostmaster-General,
who refuses registration to his newspaper. 1t
was only little while since the same Depart
ment, by Mr. Frank Scudanore, forbade the
transmission of certain telegraphic messages
TO which there was official objection. This sort
of thing may be tOlerable in Great Britain;
and it is exactly what Grantism is ready to do
in this country. 1t has made famous be-
ginning in changing mail matter and spying
into private business.
Soldiers are asked to hear their old COM
rade, Gen. John G. Robinson, tomorrow at
YOnkers and to vote for him because his gal
liant services in the war deserve that reward
VIII they not ask him about that life pension
of $5,625 a year, wherewith he has already
been rewarded 7 Volunteers! call on him to
compare that with the pensions your wounded
get fOp equally brilliant service, and to show
why he is entitled not only to this enormous dis
proportion for life, but also to your further
gratitude in the form of the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernorship Of New-YOrk.
The mania for reckless slanderng of all who
did not train in its squad seemed for few
days to have less control of The n. 7. Times.
THE TRIBUNE's demonstrations of corruption,
right and left, in the Grant ranks, gave it
pause it could do nothing but froth at the
mouth and cali THE TRIBUNE names, and
that, of course. nobody minded. But day
before yesterday it broke out again with an
infamous libel upon one of the Police Com
missioners. Read the proceedings yesterday
at the Police Board, and see how the last lie
Of The Times was stamped out.
Senator MOrtOn's fifty negro colorists
escaped the penalty due their OfeDses by
means of legal technicalities. But the Morton
managers will not escape so easily; they are
convicted before the people of an outrageous
attempt to subvert the popular will by fraud.
We believe that this and other such crimes
will help swell the Liberal vote in Indiana to-
day. 1t seems impossible that the citizens of
the free North West can vote to sustain a
clique which stufs ballot-bOxes and colonies
Kentucky negroes in order to cheat them
selves into new lease of power.
