TO THE AUrHoRITrEs or INDIANA.
Preparations for Election Frauds in the
October Election.

The very strong probability, approach
ing certainty, that the State election In Indiana
on Tuesday, Oct. 10, will be carried BY the Dem
ocrats leads the party Of Addition, Division and
Silence to contemplate extraordinary means OF
averting such result.
The scheme, which we learn has been deter
mined upon, lie appropriately Of Pbiladelphian
origin, aud emanates from the nefarious Ring
Of which Bill Kemble is the great type and
leader. A number OF experienced ballot stu frers
are at once to be sent to Indiana, and through
the proper members Of the Republican State
Committee they are to be put In communication
with the Republican Inspectors of Election who
will attend at the polls. Selecting In each dis
trict the right man, they will teach him to con-
ceal ballots in hls sleeve or in his hand, so as to
slip them into the box either Just before the
voting begins, or at any propitious moment dur
ina the day, or, IL that cannot be done, in the
evening when the polls are closed and the tick
cts are spread out upon the table to be counted.
Then, Of course, when they come to be counted
more will be found than the poll list calls for,
aud the proposition will DO m ade to remedy this
discrepancy by withdrawing an equal number
from the votes for each party and IL is sup
posed that the other Inspectors will accept
proposition which seems to be so fair.
: 1t is expected that II this scheme can be car
red out successfully It will make difference
Of about ten thousand votes 10 the State. and II
is hoped that that will be sufficient to give the
election to the Republican candidates.
We call the attention Of our friends In Indiana,
and especially the State authorities, to this vii
famous Philadelphia project.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-09-21

portance Ia brought to 80 complete and
satisfactory a conclusion; for we may well
assume that the reservoir Of political 40
cusation against this eminent citizen, uni
versally known and hitherto unimpenohed,
must now be entirely exhausted.
We have also observed with interest that
many of our Democratic contemporaries
have been following tho example OF the
Times by bringing against the Hon. EDWIN
ID. MORGAN, tho Republican candidate for
Governor Of New York, charges to some
extent similar I'm their nature. and no
less injurious in their scope and char
ncter. In doing this they have repub-
lished n speech which Senator CoLvIN
delivered at Albany fifteen years ago,
nt the time when Mr.. MORGAN was Gov
crnor of the state and was known
TO be a candidate for the United Statos
Senate. Mr.. CoLvIN was Republican, and
there WAS u great degree OF excitement In
the Republican party Mt the time, Gov
MoRGA having in its ranks ardent enemies
rs well rs devoted friends. Mr.. CoLvIN
charged that Mr.. MoRGAN, having bought
railroad at onc-ilfth its cost, used his power
cludo that railroad in the consolidation OF
the various companies which owned parts Of
the present New York Central line and
that by the proceeding he Melted over q
million dollars. This accusation was made
with abundant specification and great
show of supporting evidence. There was
ample opportunity for its investigation,
but MIR. MORGAN did not deem il proper to
meot ii by that means, or indeed to meet
II Mt all. There has been to this day
no answer to these accusations; and prob
ably tho Democratic journals which now
revive them, expect to force an explnna-
ton from the Governor. We presume,
however they will be disappointed, and
that, rs he has hitherto observed silence
on the subject he will continue TO do so
t" 81. ..;o end of :aae chapter
Mr. MORGAN probably holds that he is
under no such necessity MS Mr.. TIL
DEN Is that his record should DO clean,
and that no personal imputation should
be allowed to remain upon him. Mr..
MORGAN is not the candidate of Re
form. but of Grantsm and of Mr.. THURLow
WEED, the great lobbyist Mr.. MORGAN
does not propose to change anything, to
introduce new ideas and reformatory me-
thods in the Government; he only proposes
to preserve-of course, with decent regard
for exterior appearances-the present
system OF corruption and dishonesty
which the Republican party has fast
ened upon the country, beginning as II did
twenty years ago, when Mr.. WEED was in
the hoy-day of his lobby operations, and
Mr.. MORGAN was hls constant friend.
Why, then, should Mr.. MORGAN de-
sire at this day TO clear himself
from an old accusation of the perver-
sion of apolitical trust, and of making for
himself n large sum OF money by the use
OF power committed TO him for public OBJ
jects onlyl Mr.. TILDEN asks the suffInges
of the people on the ground that he is ro-
former; Mr.. MORGAN asks the suffrages OF
the people on the ground that he is Re
publican, Identified with the history and
the practices of that party.

Gov. TiIden's Income Tax.

The statement which we publish this
morning from Judge s1NNoTr. with the
letter from Mr.. HEWITT, completely ex-
plodes the absurd caumny which has been
ret on foot against Mr.. TILDrN in reference
10 his income tax in the year 1sG2. The
allegation has been made by the Nctp York
Times that whereas Mr.. TILDEN had in
that year an income derived from various
specified sources of slOs,OO0 he only return
rd E,11s rs his true income; and thereupon
the Times accused him of fraud in con-
cealng the real amount and Of perjury i'm
wearing that his return was true. These
broad and sweeping charges were made by
the Times without any other evidence than
IFS own supposition that Mr.. TILDEN's in
come was large in that year; and now
Judge SINNoTT, who at that time was Mr..
IILDEN's confidential law clerk, and quite
rs familiar with his business as Mr. TrLDEN
himself, comes forward to contradict this
statement fatty and fully Taxing III, "a
different items stated by the Times.
amounting in the aggregate TO slOs,O0O,
Judge S1NNOTT shows that most of them
are entirely destitute of truth; that Mr..
TfLDEN was not employed in that year by
the corporations alleged by the Times, and
received nothing whatever from them;
that out of thirteen different items nine
were purely fictitious; that one item
of $4,000 was true only to the extent OF
$1,000; and that the other two items of
$4,000 each were true, but that the money
was mostly earned in wears before the in
come tax was imposed, and accordingly.
was not subject to taxation; and finally he
reaffirms that after dcducting interest and
losses which accrued during that year. Mr..
TILDENs whole net income was $7,lls, and
no more.
This disposes OF tho allegation both OF
fraud and perjury, and il leaves the Times
in very unenviable position as having
made charges OF such gravity without any
foundation or any reason other than the
Imagination and ingenuity of their au-
fhors. Further light is also shed on this
subject by the fact stated by Mr.. HEWITT
in his letter that, Immediately after
the publication of these charges, he ap-
piled to the Secretary Of the Treasury for
an official copy of the income tax returns
Of both Mr. TlLDEN and Mr.. HAYES, and
that up to this day the Secretary has not
seen fit to make any reply 10 his request.
Meanwhile. however, and without any de-
Jay, he has furnished TO the Times one Of
the documents which he has thus refused
TO Mr.. HEWITT, in order that the Times
might have fac-simile of il engraved for
publication. This indicates very clearly
conspiracy against Mr.. TILDES, on the
part Of certain Federal ofliceholders, in
which they use Their power rs agents of
the Government to propagate false and
groundless charges against an eminent
citizen, simply because he has been nomi-
mated rs a candidate for President.

One Difference between Two New Y ork
Candidates.

Thanks are due to the NclC TOrk Times
for its ardent, unsparng, and violent at
tacks upon the personal, professional.
and public character of Gov. TILDEN.
He Is n candidate for the most
important Office III the country. We
support him and advise every citizen
10 vote for him, because while Gov
ernor of New York he has attacked abuses
OF long standing aud great power aud in
huence, by which the treasury and the
people OF the State were continually
plundered. He has laid his hand
upon these abuses and has overthrown
them, although they were committed, up
held, and enjoyed by conspicuous men,
bers OF his own party; and against those
men he has caused legal proceedings to be
Instituted. In the course OF which some OF
them have been found guilty and are now
In the hands OF justice. Moreover, he has
iaborod with great success to reduce the
ordinary expenses OF the State ana to
lessen tho burden Of taxation which
weighs so oppreSsivoly upon the people,
We support him also because we believe
him 10 be that rare thing in politics
q man governed by political principles aud
not by mere oXpedieuts and frivolous cal
culations Of party aivantages.
II is, therefore. evident that on no.
count of his character rs a political re-
former, Mr.. TuDES must be subjected to a
more rigorous criticism. and 10 nmors un-
sparing investigation Of hls history aud his
acts, than are usually bestowed upon candi-
dates for high Office; and, although we cam
not approve of the peculiar manner In
which the Times has performed It's task, we
once more thank that journal for having
und, rtaken II.
The points OF the 7tmes's onset upon
NJ. THDEE are these; FIRST, that during
tho war he was a seoessionist; aud this
point has been entirely overthrown by the
eloquont and able speech Of Mr.. HEWITT
delivered in the House of Representa-
tiyps, ana by the more recent expo
filion of Mr. pIGELOw. Secondly, that he
committed fraud in the matter OF the

partial business mon IN tAc country. who
are familiar will tae ftc,,. aud declare
that, Instead Of abuse for his cludgct I'm

but commentator and gratitude. Thirdly
The Times alleges that, in returning his
Income tax for tho yraI ls02, MI TfIDrs
deirauded the revenue 10y stating his net
inc at Il smaller sum than it actually
amounted 10. The absurdity Of this
Charge we have already exposed In The
Sun, ana it is utterly annihiated by the
authoritative statement from Judge SIN
MOTT, which we publish to-day.

tests OF themost unsparing hostile criticism.
