Within the last forty eight hour linn
my O'Brien has had his eyes ' acd to
the fact that the Grant men H. c con.
cluded that they csn dispense with his
assistance in the State and Presidential
election. The bargain with Tom Muir

thrown on his own resources as hemo-
cLat bolter. The Republicans propose

EXPOSURE OF RADICAL EL yTioN FRAUDS
The Municipal Reform association of
Philadelphia, composed the oldest and
wealthiest citizens, which was formed to
fight the rotten but all powerful political
ring in that city, now claim to have suf
iicient evidence to set aside the election
of the Hartranft candidate, notwithstand
ing they figured up majority of $4,000
In the Fifteenth ward four of the eIec-
ton officers have certified that the vote
Of the ward was altered SO as to increase
Hartranft's majority by 200 In tho
Fourteenth ward, Hartranft's majority
was altered from 529 to 729, In the
Thirteenth ward IIartranlt had 800 ma
jority, but as this ward, unlike the -Four
teenth and Fifteenth, had no municipal
reformcrS to look after the manipulators,
they made Hartranfts majority 1900 by
prelixing the figure to the 800. In the
Nineteenth ward, which is called The
Rings Own, the majority was 923 be-
fore it WAS manipulated; after that it was
993 The First ward added 1000 to
its legitimate majority, and the Twenty
sixth did the same. An of which will
duly appear when tho municipal reform
ers get the evidence before the public
These wards are all Republican, but in
some Democratic warls the majorities
have fallen Off very mysteriously. The
Fourth, for instance, year ago gave
| 500 majority, and two weeks ago gave
but 600 majority for Bu, ialew.

A GLANCE AT THE POLITICAL FIELD.
Ngw YORK, Oct. "a.
The Liberal and Democratic managers
are in daily receipt Of encouraging letters
from all the Southern states, except
South Carolina, while New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut and New
Hampshire are claimed for Greeley with
confidence. From Ohio, assurances mul'
tiply that tho contest there is close OF
doubtful. 1t is admitted here by the
Democratic leaders that Greeley's chanc
eS depend on JHe action VI bllV oIu 'Nlh
ocratic party, and that if it polls its full
strength he will be elected, They are
satisfied with the number and firmness OF
the Liberal Republicans, Coy. Hendricks
has written from Indiana that Greeley
will surely carry that state. Hon. }. j
+. Mcdonald of Indiana expresses the
same opinion and also that Ohio i. by
no means sure for Grant. The Admins
tration party, with Simon Cameron's as
sistance, are at work corrupting the vo
ters of New Jersey, but the canvasseS
made by Liberals and Democrats give
Greeley over six thousand majority. The
activity Of Grant greenbacks at present
seems to be confined to- New Jersey Con.
necticut, North Carolina and New York
city. Victory on that side is considered
so certain that all comprehensive work
has seen stopped.
