MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

TO contribute or to raise money to defray
the proper or necessary expenses OF political
canvass is laudable and polite. The expenses
of holding public meetings, printing posters,
ballots, &c. are very great especially in a
Presidential Election, and they always fall on
the relatively poor They ought to be more
generally distributed. Had the Liberals been
thrice as well supplied with funds as they
actually were in the canvass now closing, they
would not have had one cent moro than was
needed for legitimate uses.
On the other side, money has n0tOriously
flowed like water. They have had dollars to
our less than dimes. And they have used these
enormous leyies to buy up venal politicians of
local influence, including vote distributors,
inspectors, returning officers, &C. Thus was
the Peoples vote in Philadelphia falsifed by
thousand crimes, whereof the falsely stated
returns from Philadelphia, the confessed
frauds at Scranton, &C., &c, are specimens.
The bribing of voters, whether to vote cor
ruptly or to abstain from voting, has been
pushed this year to an extent utterly unprece-
dented, and all on one side.
Understand that we do not object that the
other side have dollars to our pence-that is
their good fortune. We object that they have
used those dollars so as to destroy the Right
of Suffrage. The voter once bought is ever
more venal. He wants to sell every vote he
casts thereafter. In no former canvass was
one-f fourth so much done to debauch the gem
eral suffrage as in this one, whereof the bale
fa influences will stretch through many years
TO come.
Tho voot sums raised for this canvass from
our Federal OfiCe-hOlders and other Govern
1nent beneficarics were intended to corrupt.
They were needed for no other purpose. They
were raised to induce men to vote as they
would have chosen not to vote. Such is their
inst condemnation.
New-York tribune., 1872-11-05

The PHILADELPHIA BLECTION OUIRAGE&
We conclude that it is now generally ac
cepted as fact by men of all parties, that the
election in the City of Philadelphia on the 9Th
of October last was the occasion Of enormous
and unprecedented corruption and fraud. Yet
the latest evidence we have-that produced in
the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on
Saturday last, and republished in another
column of this days TRIBUEE-is more damning
than anything which has preceded it,
Mr.. Albert L. Williams, a member of the
Philadelphia Municipal Reform Association,
having obtained authority from Judge Peirce
of the Court of Common Pleas, has examined
the returns of the Judges of Election for each
election district, the said returns being in the
keeping of the PrOthonOtary of that Court
The result of Mr.. Wiliams's Investigations is
embodied in an affidavit which was published
yesterday in the leading newspapers of Phila-
delphia, and which we republish in full. lie
found numerous palpable erasures, alterations,
and changes of figures in the returns of the
votes, of which he specifies no less than 66
in the returns for Governor, every one of them
in favor of Hartranft, the CamerOn-Grant can
didate. They all consist Of Geducting a certain
number of uOtes from BuckdIeWs aggregate, and
adding them TO that Of Hartranf. The changes
of this kind amount to a difference of over
5000 votes in the majority. Upon the filing of
Mr. Williams's affidavit, and upon the motion
of the Hon. L. Spencer Miller, Judge Finletter
ordered the PrOthOnotary to appear on Satur
day, the eth inst and produce all the returns
of the election of the 9Th of October, and
account for or explain the absence of those
not produced, and the alteration of the papers.
Two years ago, on occasion of a like case, the
Prothonotary appeared and said he had sold
the returns for waste paper. The Judge
in Office, but he was never brought to trial.
We have space for but very brief comment
on this new testimony. 1. The character of
the witness stands high in the estimation of
his fellow citizens. 3. The alterations and
changes to which he testifes are of such a
nature as to demonstrate fraud by their mere
existence. They not to be explained away
as corrections of blunders. g. The very gross
ness of these frauds is strong evidence that
other fraudulent alterations were made in
other districts in more skilful manner, 50 as
to escape detection at sight. 4. Not only is it
likely that there were false returns from other
districts, but it is morally certain that there
was ballOt-bOx stuffing throughout the city.
AS evidence Of this, notice the remarkable fact
that in every one Of the districts, or divisions,
in which the alterations are specified hy Mr.

TO put every candidate for Office to the inqui5i-
tiop, and allow no man to be voted for until
he had passed the ordeal of their secret Com
mittee. The Committee was merely another
name for Choate; but Choate made noise
enough for seventy, and fourished manifestoes
mt such n rate that many of us expected TO see
all the rascals take to their heels without more
ado. OF course, when Mr.. Choate made up bis
slate there wOuld be an end OF discussion. No
honest man would venture to contradict him,
and if all the rejected candidates did not i'm
medately retire from the canvass 1t would
only be because they had not sense enough TO
know when they were beaten.
Well. Mr.. Choate spoke. Strange to say, the
battle still goes on. We have not heard OF
anybody running away. On the contrary,
disrespectful public said, Pooh! and straight
way forgot all about ChOate. The Septuaglnt
being busy with other things could not help
him. Sixty-eight out of the seventy had be-
come candidates for Office, and the whole com
pany had caught the prevailing Generalization
and gone to bargaining with the Custom
house. ChOate stood aghast. Then he remon-
strated The rebelliOus citizens began to ask
who Choate was; John Thomas wanted to
know how he dared to oppose regular Repub-
lican nominations; and no less "reformaan-
"didate" than the son of ex-MayOr Opdyke
had the temerity to declare in print that he
did not believe ChOate to be intalllble, and
would not place his conscience or his vote IN
that gentleman's keeping. Finally one OF the
Septuagint itself cast up in Mr.. Choate's
teeth tho fact that he had sustained Mr..
James O'Bren as a model refOmer last year,
and was abusing him as a thief now Last
night the news was published that Mr.. Choate
found the preparation of his Complete Family
Ticket pretty heavy job. 1t was so tresome
and so expensive TO print ballots and put up
booths that he was afraid he could not be
ready in season; but he should do his best.
We regret to say that Choate is failure AS
Mr.. Opdyke expresses it, the wisdom OF his
action has not been in proportion to the ex-
cellence of his intentions, and there is just as
much difference of opinion among honest
voters to-day as if he had never constituted
himself the final judge of every candidates

The power claimed by Secretary Boutwell, to
initiate our Greenback Currency at his discre-
ton to the extent of FOrty-fOur Millions, is a
power TO make rich or poor whOmsOeyer he
will.
You are heavy buyer Of Pork, or Wheat
or Cotton, or Beef: the Secretary gives
his screw Il turn by drawing in Greenbacks, and
you are ruined by fall of your commodity
in price which you could not have foreseen
and provided for or you sell one of those
staples for delivery at a day specified when
you shall have returned from buying, and he
let's out food of Greenbacks and makes you
rich in day Your commodity is really worth
no more than before; you only pay for it In
reality less than you bargained to do, while
its nominal or face value was less than the
Secretary has made it.

should be effected on ample public notice, in

A ONE-SIDED COMPARISON

There are enough voters in this State who
want the best attainable men in all important
offices to elect whom they please, if they can
only agree upon q candidate. In the present
contest in this State, the political question,
though not without Importance, is entirely
subordinate TO the issue of reform in the ad-
ministratiOn of affairs. Yet by the force Of
habit, thousands of men who know that the
question Of good government is far more inn
portant than that of their party names. will
vote to-day for the men whom caucus has
imposed upon them. without any thought of
their fitness.
1t is against this indOlent and apatheiic dis
regard of civic duty that we once more pro-
test. 1t is incumbent on every man to ask
himself, "Who will make the best Governor
"whO the best Lieutenant overnor n and 80
on through the ticket; and then to vote as
his best information and honest convictions
direct him. If there were no such things as
parties and conventions, every one knows
how this question would lie answered. There
is no comparison between Mr.. Herman and
Gen. Dis as to strength of character
and capacity. There is no qualfca-
ton of good Governor which Mr.. Herman
does not possess. He is man of unstaned
integrity; of good education OF high pro-
fessiOnal reputation; of experience as q
lawyer and a law-maker; thoroughly &C
quainted with State and National politics and
legislation in the prime of life aud per-
lection of his powers. His opponent has been

ONE. THING no BE DECIDED.


1t is for the people of the North this day to
decide whether Southern voters-not Rebels
but Loyalists-with an unimpeachable claim
to exercise the right of suffrage, shall be per-
mitted to do so without molestation OF
hinderance.
While it is Ku-KluH offense as III
North Carolina, to belong to Greeley
Club, there is no Republicanism worthy OF
the namo in that State. That the game oil
intimidation has been played there, as eise-
where. we have ample evidence. There may
have been no oath; there may have been no
association called Ku-Klux by name; but
there has been and Is an association OF the
Grant voters, for the purpose of frightening
voters and especially colOred voters, ont OF
their intention of voting the Liberal ticket.
The Grant party treats the Southern voters
as if they belonged to the President. Soldiers
employ the terror of arms; Federal officers
exercise their influence; and threats OF muir
der, of Imprisonment, Of he destruction OF
property have been freely dispensed.
What the Grant party can do successfully in
the South it can repeat in the North. 1t has
the will, as events in this city have already
demonstrated. Let those who would still Sc
cure for electors liberty Of choice be found
voting to-day upon the right side. If they
are not it is possible that ere long they may
not be permitted to vote at all.

YOJTNG FOR T4NUdNY.

Here are Tammany candidates, recommended
by honest people for our support. What do
such things meant We thought we had done
with Tweed and all his works
Even yet good many citizens are asking
just such questions. Let us make brief
answer.
Leading Democrats, headed by Samuel j..
Tilden, rose last year, against the Tweed
dynasty and overthrow it. They forced Con-
trollcr Connolly out and put Andrew H..
Green in his place. They compelled VIM. NJ.
Tweed to resign, and indicted him for his
thefts. They even secured successor to
Peter b. Swecny, and thus left the
Tammany Ring broken TO fragments.
Next they reorganized the Tammany
Society, cast out the men who had brought
disgrace upon it, and substituted the men who
had overthrown and expelled them. For
Tweed they put Charles OConer. For
Sweeny they put Samuel j. Tilden. Every
member of the Ring was summarily elected !;
and men like Augustus Schell and Horatio
Seymour and Horace +. Clark identified
with the business interests of New-YOrk, and
long recognized as the rightful intellectual
leaders of the Democracy their places.
In one word, Tammany used to be composed
of the thieves. Now it is composed of the hon
est men who overthrow the thieves. And that is
why Tammany nominations once more de-
serve the attentive consideration of honest
