Pnt Down the Consnirninrs.


Put Down the Conspirators.
The desperate supporters of HAYES,
knowing that they are destined to a terri
BILE overthrow, are preparing to charge 1t
TO intimidation and violence in certain
southern States, aud to frauds in the
elections in some Northern States. This
would amount TO nothing after the verdict
OF the ballot boxes was rendered and TIL
Den had triumphcd, except for the fore
Swallowed purpose of the Republicans to
throw out, If they can and if they dare,
sufficient number of the TILDEN electoral
votes. at the counting before the Senate
and House, TO carry in HAYES.
IL left unmOested, all of the Southern
States will vote for TTLDES. A large body
of the colored men plundered by the Freed
mans Savings Bank, and often cheated
by the carpet-baggers in the reconstructed
States, are going with the Democrats, aud
this will end the contest in that part of the
Union. To throw out the electoral votes
of some of these states is the intention of
certain conspirators, under possible con-
tingenccs, on the charge of intimidation
and violence ut the polls.
The same class of villains are making
ready to throw out tho vote of two or three
Northern States, including even New York,
If they dare venture upon so revolutionary
"a proceeding. JAY GoULD's newspaper of
yesterday forecasts the pretcxt on which
this may be attempted. The stool pigeon
is referring to the registration In this city:
Continued Investigation shows that nrcpa-
ratiOns have been made for Illegal REGISTRATION
and naturalization on a large scale. Colonies of
tramps and disfeDutable persons nave been
found hailing from inns revised lodging houses,
or from dancing halls. saloons, canal hoats, or

the number OF naturaliz alton papers granted Is
| Increasing every week.
Now. every well-informed person knows,
that at the utmost there Is not more than
one per cent. OF truth in this statement.
and that in its general drift and obvious
purpose il is sheer falsehood. But the
desperadoes will clutch Mt anything to
save themselves from destruction.
II 10 oi~imnd that when the packaHcs

votes are opened for the purpose OF being
counted, if either the Senate or the House
objects to the vote of Il state, il cannot DO

Nice-President WILSON being dead, the

houses when the votes are counted, and
that he will he Republican, and very
likely FERRY of Michigan, a supple servi-

this faction dare attempt 10 execute u
plot so infamous AMI So revolutionary as
this. The best precautionary measure
however, is to elect Gov. TILDES by so
large a majority. that the Republicans,
already thoroughly discouraged, Will
quietly yield to the verdict of the ballot
boxes. Let New York nj all events stamp
out the outrageous charge against her by
giving TO TlLDEN, ROBINSON, and Reform
the largest majority ever thrown by any
party in this city.
ntne STARIS case DELANo c. CALyI,
gave Judgment against the city for 1913. 800
III spite OF the evidence of many impartIa
lawyers, who testified that the extrem,
value of the alleged services on which IN,
claim was based, was from 81 900 TO OOOC
onlyi AMI he allowed interest from the
presentation of the claim TO the Board of
Supervisors.
were he not rs feeble in his legal knowl-
edge as he is weak in conscience. CALVIN
| would nave known that our oou IT'S haye
uecided again aud again that interest can
never be given against the city from the
date OF the presentation OF the claim TO
the Board of Supervisors, but only from
the time tho claim was presented to the
Comptroller. CALVIN thus gave the claim
ant thousands of dollars in the way Of in
teresi to which he was not entitled, even
II he had been entitled to the principal.
Let every citizen who does not approve
OF public fraud vote against DELANo c.
