To-day and tomorrow are the only days re-
manning for registration. Every citizen vino
has mol already registered must 10 30 to-day
or tomorrow, or lose his vote. The duty can b,
easily performed. TIE poiing-paccs are open
from -. m. to . j. m, and between those
hours every voter can ind the few minutes OF
leisure necessary to see that his name goes
down upon the lists. The official election
notice, which will show upon moment
study the poling-pacc for any election dis
trict, is printed again to-day upon our sup
Elementary sheet.
surely it is not nccc sary to remind citizens
Why they should vote this year, and why
they should register therefore in order to be
able to vote. The issues of this canvass are
too vivid and too pressing for that. There is
need of every Republican vote now, for the
sake of honest money; for the sake of free
suffrage in the South and pure suffrage in the
North; for the sake of continued prosperity,
and in the hope of an escape from Rebel domi-
nation and cOnGscation at Washington. Let
every Republican vote be registered

The Eren,ng Post refuses TO believe that
VI. Soulc has been uniustly accused, and its
chief reason, apparently, is the fact that
Mr.. Wright. The ex-Canal Commissioners
who defends Mr. Soule, has been him
self under ccnsure IN canal matters.
We beg leave to suggest that this is not the
point at issue. Mr.. Wright is not on trial
Nr. Soulc Is; and Mr. Wright's statements in
behalf Of NIr. Soule are not statements OF
opinions. but assertions of fact. TAcy do not
depend IN any way upon Mr. Nughts char
sctcr
For instance, the first conspicuous statement
In Ore Committees report is one that q" tAe
"c0utrac:or was paid Tor dam go feet
"loag, when in fact it is but 100 feet long"
vi. Wr.eat says that thc length rs measured
by several competent nginccrs, is 30S-2loo feet
--or 1Is fect more then he Committee stated !!
lie explains ihis extraordinary discrepancy by
-ayinr that one OF the witnesses sWore the length
WAS 300 foot-hc measured it with ten
" loot pole aud Tie report bluIdercd into
rultiug il AZ 100. TLi, Zip alone Is enough
to dcstro} faith in the report. 1t looks very
mach as if Mr Wright bncw what he was
talking about. Certainty he has laid himself
open to overwhelming humiliation II the
Disco Lake Dam, which still stands Is only
100 feet long and not 3OS22Ioo feet long!
The Committee say that the work was
to be completed for $9,3ll Mr. Wright
SAYS there was no such provision in the
contract, but that the rates were fixed and
the contractor was to be paid item by
item. l. Is not necessary to take the ex-Com-
missioncr.s word for th+. If this is untrue,
4 -. r,nl
records to prove 1t.
The deliniteness and positiveness of Mr..
Wrght's statements throw the burden Of
proof upon Mr.. Soule's opponents in many
ways. For example, the Committee say that
Mr.. Soule certified the final account to be cor
rect M Wright says he did not. II this is
untrue, the production OF that final account
would cover Mr. Wright with confusion.
Mr.. Wright says that I'll the work included
in Mr. Soules original estimate WAS completed
m n cost of less than $4,000, and that ut
that point his responsibility absolutely ended.
The Committee charge him, in general way,
with completely in ,windle upon the State
amounting 10 10000. Again Mr.. Wright has
the advantage in dclinitoness.
An attempt is made to put upon Mr.. Soulc
the responsibility of the supplementary CON
tract because 1T was in his handwriting. Mr..
Wright m,inates that ii this W., so It was
merely because hc had called upon Nh Soule
for clerical service; that the supplementary
contract was made 10y the Commissioner solely,
acting under Legislative mandate. Where
does che truth seem to bc I
Other instances might be given. but these
are sufficient. Ii these allegations are untrue,
Mr.. Wright is one of the boldest men in the
State of Now-York. Until they are shown
Ia be untrue the public will believe them,
and Will believe that, although fraud was
no doubt committed in connection with the
Otisco Lake Reservoir. those who charged Mr..
Soule with having share in ii have been
completely broken down.

should. bc allowed 10 leave the courtroom until
