ER1EDTLENT REGLSTRATION


The vote of New-YOrk State has been stolen
before by the Democrats, and may be again.
1868 may be repeated in 1876 The party
is under precisely the same aStute manage
ment now as when the STATE was fIaudulently
given to Seymour. Then a single city con
tributed, by fraudulent naturalization, by re-
peating, and by false counting of the returns,
to the Democratic victory this year, there
is good reason for believing both New-IOrk
and Brooklyn will swell the Democratic vote
by frauds at the polls only less gross and
daring than those Of 1868. The consequences
of another such victory" by similar means at
this time will i'll our judgment be very disaS-
trous not only to Ncw-York but the whole
country, for if the Democratic candidate
steals the State as Seymour did ne may yet
be the next President of the whole country.
We have no wish 10 sound needless alarms,
but it seems clear that the Republicans and the
authorities are not fully aroused to the danger
which threatens ut once the supremacy of
their party and the welfare of the country.
The evidences of contemplated fraud are
very strong; strong enough, at any rate, to
warrant from this time forward the utmost
vigilance and activity. The registration thus
far in Brooklyn and New York is suspicoUsly
large; it is greater than that of any year
since registration was made compulsory by
United States laws and indicative of a larger
vote than that of 1868, when IL Is notorious
that thirty thousand votes were cOTuply added
10 the actual majority of the Democracy in
New York County alone. In some districts
more names are already registered than there
are voters resident there. The courts are kept
busy naturaizing foreigners who are hunted up,
brought TO court, sworn through by pro
"fessonal witnesses" hired for the purpose
and their fees paid by organized committees
of Tammany Hall. Over 5000 have been
already thus naturalzcd, and Tammany Hall
has made arrangements to create 10000 new
voters before election day. Tive courts are
kept running several hours a day i'll doing
this work in a very hasty if not incorrect
manner A system OF col0nizing repeaters one
month before election, so as to give them
LEGAL residence in various precincts where they
NAV vote "early and often" is feature of
this new method of repeating old frauds.
Elsewhere the evidences thus far attainabe
are presented; more and fuller proof may he
ANTICIPATED during the next few days as the
result of the activity of the United States Su-
pervisOrs in Brooklyn and NewYork. Every
honest citizen should lend hand to aid them.
Each should at least take steps to ascertain
that repeaters have not been fraudulcntly reg
istered from his own dwelling. This is duty
readily performed by examination of the regis
tration lists, which are open for correction at
all times.

equally true, however. that our treatment
of them is remiss, clumsy, and inet-
fective In considering the matter from this
point, we put aside all caste distinctions.
Quimbo Apo would be equally witness Of
the ineiiicacy of our criminal law, if he were
of American or of Irish birth. He had thor
oughly demonstrated his untitness for freedom,
vet he was set free without any imprisonment
whatever, or when imprisoned, his term was
considerably and beneyOlently shortened Once
he was sentenced to death, and yet ne escaped
the gallows. Indeed as the reader will OBJ
serve, his offenses were hardly of kind to he
visited by capital punishment They have IN
no instance come up to murder in the first de-
gree; yet he was just as dangerous
a person as if they had done SO.
If long ago he had been put III
prison and permanently kept there, several
lives, not very valuable perhaps, but still lives
which the law was bound to protect, would
have been saved. We waive all considerations
of his nativity. What we say OF his case we
say of all such and once more we call atten-
tion to the pressing necessity of restraining crime
by certain adequate and inexOrable penalties.

StVJyGS BANK MISMANAGENEET


The charges against Superintendent Ellis
have been for some time fOreshadOwcd. The
most suspicious feature about them is the time
at which they are brought forward. GOV
Tilden is naturally anxious to have something
fresh and striking to add to his laurels as
reformer The fruits indeed in this case have
not yet fairly ripcned; the leaves have not
vet reached "their mellOwing year" But
there is little more than fortnight remain
ing before election day; the new laWels
must he picked now or never; and
this may perhaps be the "bitter cOnstralnt
"and sad occasion dear" which compel the
Governor to disturb their season due" mat
most of the savings banks which have failed
have been atrOciously mismanaged Is fact
not open to question. How far the present
Superntendent Is responsible for this state OF
affairs is to say the least of it question at
present open to a variety of opinion in reply.
We print both sides. 1t will be seen that the
friends of the Superintendent think he is no
more IN be held responsible in some of these
cases Ethan a Choctaw chief" AT worst
if appears probable that the extremity
of his error has consisted in hesitation
about winding up banks in doubtful
condition. Considering the heavy loss aud
widespread trouble which follow the closing
of savings bank, it is the part of prudence
10 POSTPONE such a calamity 50 long as there Is
fair hope that it can be avcrted Perhaps it
may be proved that Superintendent Ellis has
been in some instances mised by such hopes,
backed by the promises of bank trustees to
furnish additional security. 1t will be an oc-
cosIon for surprise if more than this error can
be laid at his door.
But the bank failures themselves must be
attributed to very different causes. Chief
among them is the fact that the weak banks
never had a sound foundation. They were
never needed by the community. They were
nearly all organized in the day when Tweed
and his followers ruled this city, and they
formed an episode of that era of the abuse of
public trusts Several Of them were recognized
as "R Ring banks" and the names of men who
were a scandal to our city figured in the lists
of their trustees. After the ruin of the Ring,
their failure was only question OF time,
unless their management was changed.
Laws had been passed at Albany that
on the one side tied the hands OF
the Superintendent, and on the other
left the trustees mt liberty to sprinkle the
bank funds about in all sorts of risky enter
priscs, the preteyt being that considerable
amount of money must be kept in some easily
marketable Investment so as to meet sudden
demands. The Bank Department has given
its labors and influence 10 the utmost in recti-
fying this system and abrogating those laws,
and these good efforts have been at last sue
ccssful. If the savings bank failures are to
form an element in the political canvass, it
should at least be rccollected that the delin-
auent concerns were for the most part the pets
and the progeny of the Democratic Ring.

THE PERIL or THE HOUR.

Can business men afford to permit Mr.. Tiden
to carry New-York? Can they afford to let
the Democratic party take possession of the
Government The question Is tothem not mere
" one of patriotism, but OF dollars and cents
For
l. Uncertainty as to money questions means
ruin to business. Now, at any rate, Democratic
victory means uncertainty.
9. But that uncertainty is enormously ag-
gravated by the vast accumulation OF South
ern war claims The South is united
and fervid in demanding their pay

one that can be best trusted To resist It'll Is
there one leading Democrat who dares to

1t is claimed rs a great merit that the Demo-

A fresh instance of the sleepless vigilance
with which Gov. Tildcn's canvass is conducted
is TO be found in the circular issued from the
Democratic headquarters urging Democrats to
arrange their visits to Philadelphia 50 as to be
at home on election day. Such a caution
is much more necessary in the case of Repub-
Hcan voters who visit Philadelphia doubtless
in much greater numbers than do the Demo
Gratis. A Washington dispatch shows that
probably 5000 Republican voters from Ohio
alone were in Philadelphia shortly before the
Ohio election, and estimates that several thou
sand votes were lost to the party in both OF
the great October States 10y means OF this alb
scntcesm not enough, perhaps, to have
turned the scale in Indiana, but enough to
have senslbly increased the Republican major
itv in Ohio and to have reduced the Demo
cratic majority in Indiana TO so narrow mar
gin that the Republican hopes of rcdcemlng
the State in November would have grown al
most into certainty. Those who have arranged
their visits to the Exhibition for this time can
wait for the week following the formal closing
dav, during which the Exhibition Is still to be
kept open. 1t must be remembered that the
contest is close and the Issue vital, and that
every vote will count.
