FORCE 4 PROMPT COUNT.

Before any and everything else, the friends
of Reform in the October States have one
paramount, imperative duty for next Tuesday
night. Force prompt CONT, and announcement
Of The rOte
There lies the sole remaining chance of the
enemy. Give them time to hear in Philadel-
phia what vote is needed from them, to cOun-
terbalance the majority with which Buckalew
comes into the city! and their purchased cleo
ton officers stand ready to furnish it. On
smaller scale, they have prepared for the same
game in Ohio and Indiana. Block it by keep
ing them under watch, and insisting that
there shall be no needless delay!
Everybody knows that the registration in
Philadelphia is enormously in excess OF the
number of honest voters actually there. WIN
such vigilance as we have right to expect,
there is little chance now left for tho actual
deposit of fraudulent ballots on that registra-
ton. Mr.. O'Brien's repeaters are too well
known. We hook for five or six thousand

easily overcome. What we dread, what we
appeal to the vigilant friends of Reform to
prevent, is the false return Of as many
votes under this fraudulent registration
as the dispatches from the interior may show
20 be needful. Give them time enough to find
out what they need, and they have a registra-
ton enormous enough, and election Off
GERS INSCRIPTIONS enough to fill the de-
mand. Watch them, therefore, from the
moment the polls close till the last
ballot is counted, the result announced, and
the vote instantly and carefully noted by
trustworthy men, for comparison with any
future and conflicting announcements that
may be attempted. Insist that no frivolous
excuses be suffered to delay this count and
announcement. Under no circumstances toler-
ate an effort to put it over till Wednesday, or
unreasOnably late, Tuesday night.
There, we repeat, lies the greatest of the
remaining dangers. Get the result in Phila-
delphia, in the Reserve, and in the Indiana
strongholds, before the Grant men know how
much they need

POLITICAL HISTORY REPEATWG ITSELF

POLITICAL HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF
No wonder the Grant Republicans are so
anxious to keep up the war agitation oil inc
past. Theirs is war candidate; they cannot
succeed with any other. With statesman
Grant they would have neither political capt.
tal nor political hope. Grant was elected IN
1868 on war wave, though it was reiluent
one, and his followers expect to eke out the
war enthusiasm of that year through this
campaign. All thinking men agree that this
constant burning of gunpOwder and sounding
war-cries is out Of season. But the Grant
managers blow and fume still at the bellows,
praying that the old furOr may only last
through November. They are endeavoring to
make history repeat itself. AS Grant was
elected in 1868 at the close of great civil
war-why not now 7
History Is repeating itself. In 1913, Gen.
Taylor was elected President at the end OF
successful war with Mexico. The Republic
had resounded with war cries, from one END
of it to the other; the public appetite for
news and excitements had been fed on war
bulletins. So it was comparatively easy Tor
Taylor to defeat Cass, with the pulse OF the
nation just subsiding from its fever neat.
This movement was so successful, the expert
ment was repeated at the very next Presidential
election and Gen. ScOtt-anOther hero OF the
Mexican war-was nominated by the party IN
power. 1t would not do. The country
had had enough of war in the Rough
"and Ready" campaign of 18lS, and the
civilian candidate Franklin Pierce, was elected.
But then, as now the worshpers of military
titles and power thought their candidate and
policy mpregnable and Heaven-inspired. Then,
as now. the friends of the military candidate
thought they had nursed the military spirit OF
the nation long enough to last through a
second campaign; it was a hazardous expert
ment, but then, as now, the managers were
ea..-,.i.s ~.,I soaGdant 10 the verv last degree.
Then, rs now, they had been sure
of an October victory up to the very
hour of defeat They thought that the Hero
of Chippewa and Chapultepec would scarcely
leave a State to his civilian competitor in
November. Everybody now knows how cruel
was the disappointment; everybody now sees
how fatal the error in nominating a man
whose chief recommendation vas his military
fame and achievements.
This was in 1852. But how faithfully those
events are repeated thus far in 1872! Here we
have the same vain herO-woIship, powder
burning, war-crying and bird-of-freedom busi-
ness over again. We have again the nation
weary of war; we have the old war enthu-
siasm run out; and we have the same old
over-conGdent military spirit still abroad in
the land, swinging its cap and swearing that
it cannot be beaten. The parallel is complete.

CRYING WOLF IN WALL STREET

We have word of serious though gratui-
tous advice for our Grant friends in Wall
Street. They have been gong up and down
that thOrOughfare for some weeks past at
tending more TO politics than to their busi-
ness, talking for Gen. Grant until they are
really beginning to think they believe in him.
and declaring that if the October elections go
favOrably to the Liberal candidates there will
be great financial panic. They give no rea-
SONS for this. They simply say that Gen.
Grants election is necessary TO keep things as
they are; that Greeley is unsafe that if the
Liberals carry the elections they will leave the
Street and that in short, the Adversary will
be to pay if they cannot have their way.
This is not simply false and boysh. 1t is
excessively dangerous as well. OF course these
garrulOus croakers mean nothing of what they
say They will not leave the Street if Greeley
is elected there is DO such good luck. They
do not expect panic. They know of no rea-
son for it. But, uncOnsciously to themselves,
they are doing their best to prepare it. Their
silly vaporings have been heard and well con-
sidered by the desperate gamesters who peri
odically attack the Street. They are at this
moment preparing another attack which they
will make before the week ends if the cOndi-
tions seem favorable. If there should be
panic, after the good news of Wednesday
morning, the gentlemen to whom this admoni-
ton is addressed may thank themselves for it.
There is nothing in the prospect of a Lib
eral triumph which should not please any
honest business man. In Pennsylvania one of
the foremost men of the State in ability and
character. supported by a disinterested COM
bination of citizens, is pitted against man of
proved dishonesty, the associate and instru-
ment of the most corrupt political cabal in
the country. The most eminent Statesman Of
Indiana is running against an obscure tool of
the most reckless and lawless Of living dema-
gogues. in both States tho Reform tickets
rely upon honest voting, and the supporters of
Hartranft and Morton are openly boasting
that they will carry the elections by
money and fraud. Can any man of
property, any Iu@a who is worthy OF the name

GERRfT SMITH-HoRACE GREELEY.

On the 18th of May, 1867, Gerrit Smith and
Horace Greeley were in Richmond, Va, on
purpose to sign the bail bond which would
release jefferson Davis from his confinement
in Fortress Monroe. Neither of them had been
solicited to take this step by the other, nor
had they conferred or communicated upon the
subject. Neither did or could expect any per-
sonal advantage from it, while one Of them
exposed thereby the journal of which he was
editor to certain and great pecuniary damage.
Neither of them felt or professed any
personal interest in or affection for the
individual to be liberated by their act. That
act was plainly an overture to the Southern
people lately III arms against the authority
and integrity of the Union. The speeches
made by each at the African Church on that
occasion were intended and calculated TO show
that the Republicans of the North, at least 80
far as they sympathized with Messrs. Smith
and Greeley, cherished no resentful feeling
against their late antagonists, but were anxious
for a restoration of harmony and kindly feel
ing between the North and the South, the
slaves and their late masters, upon the broad,
substantial basis of Equal Rights for ALL
Universal Amnesty with Impartial Suffrage.
sion, assumed to be more thoroughly imbued
with magnanimity or more free to evince a
generous spirit than Mr. Greeley. He init
mated that Mr. Greeley was too much of a
Republican politician to condemn unfair and
ungenerous conduct on the part of the North
which he (ir. SMITH felt ct perfect liberty to
denounce and reprobate.
The Democratic National Convention which
assembled the next year in this City was
urged to nominate Cbief-Justice Chase for
President, and thus practically evinced its
adhesion to the platform of Universal Am
nesty-Impartial Suffrage" ON which the
Chief-Justice was known to stand. Both Mr..
Smith and Mr. Greeley ardently desired that
this should be done. Mr.. Smith went further
than Mr.. Greeley ever did in publicly declaring
that, if Mr. Chase had been nominated, he
(Smith) would have supported him. That
each Of them realized and proclaimed that
such nomination, whether successful Or not

THE CRIME AGAINST TIE SUFFRAGE.
II is 40 longer impossible to deny that the
Administration party has clearly resolved not
to allow the will of the majority to decide
this election. Besides deluging all contested
districts with money, filling all Government
places with unnecessary employees whose only
duty is to vote, it has gone further than any
preceding organization, and has deliberately
resorted to crime to accomplish its plans.
When the canvass showed majority against 1t
in Indiana and Pennsylvania, instead OF re-
specting that decision of the popular viii, 1t
set about cOunteracting it by criminal eXpedl-
ents. In Pennsylvania the Olice-holders or the
Administration have made a fraudulent regis
try of many thousand votes. 1t is absurd to
state that there are 10000 legal voters in that
city. To personate the imaginary persons
borne on that registry, they are importing re-
peaters from New-YOrk and negroes from Ma
ryland and Virginia. These columns have
announced the arrival of several hundred.
In Indiana the case is still clearer. over
forty negroes from Kentucky, on Thursday,
mistook a member of the Liberal Committee
for their consignee, and announced their errand
in perfect ignorance Of the crime involved
They had been sent on by the CustOm-hOuse
at Louisville, and were consigned to the charge
of n Deputy United States Marshal. Their ex-
penses were paid, a1d their business was to
vote the Grant ticket The chief of the
gang offered to go back and bring
a hundred more, if necessary. These were
captured ana sent to prison for trial. Of
course, there are many hundreds who have
not been caught. They are crossing the
Ohio River at every ferry, and coming
over the line from Michigan. Many will be
detected and punished But what punishment
would be sufficient for the cOld-blOOded scOun-
drels who have planned and carried out this
triple crime, against the law, against the igno-
rant freedmen they are debauchng, and
against the very life pf republican govern
ment2
This should be no party question. These
crimes against the suffrage are not political.
There can be no political life where the very
fountains 0f popular institutions are poisoned.
IF these open and shameless pollutOns OF the
suffrage succeed, there will be no law. The
rule OF Hartranft or of MortOn's Browne, if
they should be counted in by fraud, would be
anarchy. In the face Of such an attempt, no
one has the night to think of his party.

HOW NAVY-Y1RDS VOTE.

Wcrkingmen throughout the country aro
interested in the management Of the mechan-
cal establishments of the Government. These,
in some degree, give hue and tone to tho
management Of private shops, ship-yards,

should not the shipwright in the Nayy-Yard

charge of his citizens duties as any other
man? But he is not; and workingmen IN
every town and city in the Union

felIow-craftsmen are obliged to sur
render some part Of their indepen-
dence when they take work under the Gov
ernment. In the Nayy-YaTd at Mare Island,
California, last year, there were 1900 or Law
workmen who were compelled to vote tho
Republican ticket or leave the Yard. To mako
sure of their voting that ticket the names OF
the candidates were printed on strips of still
pasteboard which could not be folded, and
backed by peculiar printing to prevent conn.,

were printed run in solidl., in fine type, Oh
