EhArD. But NOT TRlUMPRANT

The Democratic Convention at Syracuse re-
solved that, "by an infamous conspiracy of
"force and fraud, certain high officials and un-
''repudiated leaders annulled and reversed the
National choice for the Presidency" and
declared it to he 1.-THE stern resolve
"of the American people that such
ga fraud has been perpetrated for the
"last time" With the insertion of q word or
two this statement is admirable. 1t should
only be explained that, Instead of annulling
and reversing the National choice, they tried
to do it.
THE TRIBUNE cOunsels it's friends to take
particular notice OF the gradual unfolding of
the ciphers used by Mr.. Tilden and his Dem
ocratic supporters in their attempt to obtain
the Presidency by bribery in 1876. For
weeks we have, in vain, challenged Mr.. Ill
den, Mr.. Marble, Mr.. Weed and others to
come forward and produce the key of their
secret dispatches. They do not dare. For
a long time we have, III vain, demanded
that Mr.. Potter and his committee should
investigate these proofs of f:aud. They refuse,
because they desire to conceal proof of crime
INV Democrats. We have commenced the ex-
nosition of tho meaning of the secret dis
Matches.
rrat dares to deny either the authenticity of
tbe d,spatcbes or the correctness of the trans
Iotions. II anybody has the hardihood, we
shall g1ve him plenty of reason for denying
with all his might before long. To our
friends we take occasion now to say that
THE TRIBUNE has possession of hundreds OF
secret dispatches which passed between
Mr.. Tilden's assistants in New-York, and
his confidential agents in Florida and South
| Carolina; that it has absolute certainty OF
the authenticity of those dispatches; that
it has the secret keys by which they are
| deciphered, and will be able step by
step to demonstrate the correctness of
its translations We intend to give the partici-
pants in these transactions a vast deal more
information than they desire about "the

with some seriousness, and it so happened that
their facilities for an intelligent examination
of the question were greatly increased by the
timely action of the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives. Mr.. BefOrd, Republican, had
been elected to Congress by the people OF the
State at the October election his Demo-
cratic rival opened polls again IN November,
held a One-sided election, and claimed the
seat. The Democratic House gave it to him, al
though his election was not legal, and he was
voted for by a minority of the electors. But
this action of the House caused Colorado
voters, as we were saying, to take quite an IN
tCrest in the subject of 4" fraud" bringing 1t
home to their doors, as it were, and supplying
them with an excellent assortment OF statistics.
So they turned it over in their minds, ana
with tins result: That the man who was
elected to Congress and had his seat stolen
from under HIM by the Democratic House, is
reelected by more than double any OF his
former majorites, over the man to whom
the stolen seat was given; that the
platform which alleged fraud" in the Presl-
dental count was defeated by 1000 majority,
and perhaps more and that the Legislature
is twO-thirds Republicau.-Did anybody make
a remark about fraud "

4 CROSS TOWN TRAP.

The necessity for cToss-tOwu surface railways is
au Immediate result of the opening Of the rapid
transit roads. The scheme for the extension of the
Forty Street Railroad from Tenth-ave. to
the East River would be unobjectionable, if. in
accordance with the law of the State the acquies-
cence of two-hrds of the property had been
obtained and tho franchise had been put up at auc-
tion and sold to the highest bidder, was done in
the caso of the Twenty-third Street and other
roads. The privilege of operating the proposed
line is worth $3.50, 900 at least and the only COM
pensatou which the projectors offer to the city is
beggarly provision by which three per cent of the
earnings shall be returned to the treasury; and this
clanse can be repealed at any lime by the
Board of Aldermen. Under the circum-
stances Mayor Ely acted wisely in veto
ing the bill which had been sanctioned
by the Common Council and his action should be
promptly sustained. Chapter 14O, Laws of 1850,
provides that
The Common Councils of the several cities OF this
State shall hereafter permit to be constructed In

the OF property upon the streets IN which sH,d

the assessed value OF tho whole located upon suoh street
or avenue.
As this law is so explicit the potitioning corpora
ton should be compelled to file satisfactory evi-
dence that tho acquiescence of the property
has been secured in this instance. The Aldermen
cite as an excuse for ignoring the requirements of
the law. n tricky little clause in a bill smugglcd
through in 1876. The ostensiblo purpose of the bill
WAS 10 facilitate the construction of railroads be-
tween counties. The tricky clause lngeniously
Riyes TO Common Councils and village
trustees similar power within their limits.
Everybody knows that the Legislature in
passing this claw never dreamed that it was
thro wing the streets of New-York again at the
mercy of its Aldermen. We got through with that
system good while ago, aud the people are not
likely 10 consent that the Board of Aldermen shall
now again assume power which would give
them the opportunity any day to locate a
street railroad up Fifth-ave. down Broad
way. Points enough were strained In forcing
through the rapid transit roads to meet an impera'
tive public necessity. Tho people are now in no
mood TO have the points strained even more for the
sake of helping along crOss-town surface roads for
which tho real need is far less lmpressng.

interest IN the subject of fraud in elections.
The Democrats of the State, being highly in

Democratic authorities, leading feature
in their platform. By this means the
people of Colorado were led to consider

General Buffers Republican constituents OF
the With Massachusetts District are not
content with the prospect of his defeat as a
candidate for Governor, and with the certainty
of his retirement as a Congressman; they de-
mand, by the unanimous voice OF the Con-
vention, that he resign his seat, even for the
brief term that remains of the present Con-
gress. And the set of resolutions in which tins
mest reasonable desire is expressed make
highly edifying reading, considering the iat-
tude from which they come. The General Is
denounced as a traitor to the Republican
party for his course during the past two years
in organizing a new party to break down his
own, and in antagonizing the Republican
party in the House, in the Potter Com
mittee and at home, although he accepted
his last nomination from Republicans as a
Republican. Therefore, his constituents call
upon him to retire from a seat which he
gained by false pTetenCes, and, with consider
able pathos, remind voters who may be
listening to his seductive promises, that they
have been found in the past "neither gold
"nor good paper, but kind of fiat currency,
"hayIng no intrinsic value cheap. deusiyr,
irredeemable and worthless" These are the
accents of truth, and the voter who trusts
Butler will come to that conclusion after
election. Bat we doubt if the country ex-
pends a great deal of sympathy upon the sad
plight of the With District The voters there
knew Il few things about Butler when they
elected hlm, and it may serve a useful pur-
pose to let him stand for the District a little
while longer

candidates balancing on two platforms. When

OF the chairman of the Democratic State Com

The City of Glasgow Bank, which closed
Is doors yesterday was apparently solvent
concern. 1t held $50,OO0,O00 on deposit
and circulated about $3.250,OOO III bank
notes. Its stock was at premium, and Its
general credit was unimpaired almost up to
Tuesday evening, when, from lack OF aid
from other banks, it felt bound to suspend
In view of these circumstances, the failure
must give a rude shock to mercantile credit IN
Scotland, where the banks pay interest on de-
posts, and nearly every man sends them his
spare money The cause of the crash was the old
story-lending money on bad security. There
may have been an utter lack of judgment and
an ardent thirst for speculation on the part OF
the managers, but 1t is more probable that
they tried to help along merchants and manu-
facturers in the hope of better times, and thus
became every day more deeply involved.
The banks notes are still good, but
depOsitors must wait until it is reor-
ganized or its affairs are wound up.
The most unfortunate victims may be the
stockholders, who, rich or poor, are liable to
the fullest extent for the losses. Here the
shock of the suspension is scarcely felt.
