The old game is being tried by the Phila-
delphia Republicans. Their most brilliant
coup heretofore has been the addition OF
$4,000 or 80, 200 fraudulent names to the regis
tration lists. This year they have surpassed
all previous achievements in this line, having
increased the registration at least 40, 000 The
work of purging the lists Is now going on,
and as a result of one days labor no less than
818 names improperly on the books were ez-
posed and stricken off. An idea OF the extent
of these registration frauds may be gathered
from the fact that In a single division Of the
first ward in 174 names on the list not less
than 149 were found to be fraudulent or iictl-
tiOna.

make an exception to rule we have never
before violated. The name of MI. Ernest
Miltenberger will be before the convention
for nomination for Recorder OF the Second
District. Judge Miltenberger now holds
that office by appointment from Gov
Nichols, and he has discharged the
difficult duties of the position with
so much integrity. fearlessness and intelll'
pence that we believe it would be reflection
anon the convention were it to nominate any
man over him. In one or two cases Judge
Miltenherger rendered decisions which re
uuired the highest integrity and courage
and In all cases he has been at once firm ant
merciful, and always above suspicion. L
will be fortunate for this city If all the par
ties nominated tomorrow are OF the same
class of men as Judge Ernest Miltenberger
