All men see now that the peril to free
institutions and popular government is not
by any means in the election Of either
candidate or the success of either party,
but in the possibility of resort to chilean
cry ard fraud to reverse the will of the
people and make Of the election farce

The noise and hurrah this forenoon,
on Second avenue, was caused by Repub-
lican paying a bet he had lost on the state
of Indiana-by wheeling two sticks OF
} candy from Krell's confectionery to kea-
tor & Co.'S, saw mill. The Light Guard
band was out and furnished music for the
silly performance.
Many of our young hoodlums are
becoming frightened at the thought of
spending year or two at the Reform
School, and they are now not so bold 10
getting into mischief. The only way to
reform these younG rowdies is to send
them to the Reform School whenever they
are caught in their mischlevious acts.
The intensity of partisaaship has
yielded before the universal desire for fair
play and honest dealing, whatever may be
the consequences as regards the issue o.
the election. 1t is no time now for ho
and hasty words, for angry discussion oil
t for threats. The votes have all beer
thrown. The argument is ended and the
verdict has been rendered. We are no
partisans striving for the election of candi
, dates or the triumph of parties, but citi
} zens of common republic, with common
+ interest in the purity and sacredness o
that fundamental fact and essential prin
ciple in popular government, and fail
E and honest ballot This is all there is il
{ the question OF to-day Shall the candi
y dates whom the people have elected be de
clared elected?-N. Y. Tribune
