ocrstic nominees were yesterday elected to

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The Municipal
Reform Association of Philadelphia, COM
posed of the oldest and wealthiest citizens,
which was formed to fight the rotten but
powerful political ring in shat city, now
claim to have sufficient evidence to set aside
the election of the Hartranft candidates,
Notwithstanding they figure up majority
of IL, 900. In the Fifteenth Ward four of
the election officers have certified that the
vote of the ward was altered so as to in
crease HartraDfs's majority by 200. In the
Fourteenth Ward, Hartranft's majority was
altered from 529 to 729. In the Thirteenth
Ward Hartranft had 800 majority; but as
this ward, unlike the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth, had no Municipal reformers to look
after manipulators, they made Hartranft's
majority 1900 by prefxing the to the 800.
In the Nineteenth Ward, which is called ''the
Rings own" the majority was 999 before
it was manipulated; after that it was 2,993.
The First ward added 1000 to its legiti-
mate majority, and the Twenty-sixth Dis
trict the same, all of which will duly ap.
pear when the Municipal Reformers get
The evidence before the public. These
wards are all Republican, but in some
Democratic wards the majorities have fall
en- off very mysteriously. The Fourth, for
instance, year ago gave 1900 majority, and
two weeks ago gave but 800 majority for
Buckalew.
The Arbitrary Arrest Of Heinrich
DOmiciIiery Visits.
The arbitrary arrest of Mr.. Heinrich, in
bis own house, by United States Election
Supervisor, and the studied malice y ith
which be was Treated for forty-eight hours,
because he is q Greeley man, has aroused
hot and wrathful dennncistion from the en-
tire anti-administration press. A veteran
United States Commissioner in this city
says:
Davenport is the first man who ever
sent Federal warrant from hotel or from
any place outside of a court. The thing
has never been heard of before in the
United States Courts"
The World shows that all such outrages S
as those upon Mr.. Heinrich are palpable
violation Of the Fourth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, whic b
asserts the right of the people to be secure
in their persons, house, papers and effects
| against unreasonable searches, and forbids
any such searches being made without a
formal legal warrant. 'It is not pretended
that Davenport's spy had any warrant of
any kind beyond a mere verbal order from
Davenport. This gross outrage is not only
forbidden by the Constitution, but is eX-
plicitly forbidden by an act of Congress S,
| not yet five months old. If Mr.. Heinrich
does not make Mr.. Davenport smart. in
damages, he will fail to do his duty as a
citizen" .,
The Tribune says: "This is what comes
of giving unlimited power for oppression
into the hands of weak or bad men. So far
as the facts appear in the Heinrich case
this is the sheerest and most capricious ty-
ranny."
The Herald remarks that "Commission-
er Davenport is at present combining two
characters, that of magistrate and that of
political agent in the interest of a party"
The Express says: "Mr. Davenport will
soon learn that the arrest of a German
American citizen in this way and his pre-
pared-ior incarceration over Sabbath in jail,
with refusal of bali for ballad OfienSe,
until frightened into it by HeinIich's coun-
sci, IS IS foolish and silly as it is lawless,
for D4vspyn~t tins shows to Germans what
sort of Kaisea Gan and bis minions will
be if we keep them Ill power or fail to hold
the great State of New York to check them
Davenport is not Bismarc and this is
not Prussia"

A Court Constituted to Condemn.

to-day before COmmissionerDavenp who

The fact that the Commissioners was clos

disagreeab.e comment.
