4 NJSCHIEVOUS .IGITITION.

We have thought the new cry OF fraud in
the late election which Mr. Barnum and Mr.
Kelly have raised to conceal their own mis-
management the Democratic canvass 600
absurd for serious treatment. We are still dis
posed to look upon it nsincere ana c.tlcu-
lated to deceive only a few AID yet We find
hat some of the less influential aud more
thoughtlcss of our Democratic exchanges, as
well as the Democratic organs in this city,
affect to consider the charge well founded. The
Chaumcn of National and State and County
Committees have called their ORGANIZATIONS to-
gcther TO consider the charges and Talnmany
Hall has actually appointed Il committee to in
vcsIIgate them. What was at first intended
as a ruse under which to affect retreat Of dis
cOmfited leaders, Or an excuse on which to base
a refusal 10 pay the enormous losses of Demo-
Gratis who have bets out on the result, threatens
to take such form as may eventually bring the
allegations Of fraud, absurd as they appear,
before the Canvassng Board at Albany, and
possibly before Congress. The possibilities of
danger justify n little more serious and indIg-
nant treatment Of the charge Of fraud.
Tho allegations are OF cOlOnzing and repeat
ing. This is the form of the alleged fraud
There IS no assertion that il appears In a dis
proportonatcy large increase in the regs,ra-
ton There really could be DO fraud without
it thus appearing, and there has been no such
increase. We have sho Hn, the contrary,
that there has been less increase in $50 over
1876 than there was in 1916 over 1872, or even
in 1874, when Tilden was candidate for
Governor and brought out Il full registration
The allegations are based entirely on the great
increase OF the vote of 1880 over 1879, AN
increase, they say, in one year, of abou. $50 per
cent of the voting population.
Let us show the absuidity of this reckoning.
Here are the total figures Of the vote OF New
York and Kings Counties for 1876, 1879, and
1880:

Of 1876 was fraudulent because it was so much
in excess of that of 1879. The true comparison
should b. between 1850 and 1876. Then It
will he seen tina the real increase OF tle to'ai
vote in New-York County was only 1913 per
cent. and in Kings County was % per cent IN
6nr ycars and not SO per cent III one year, az
is falsely assumed.
There was probably never more fairly con-
Quoted election in New York City on the part OF
Republicans than that Of last week was. lhey
registered and poled their entire LEGAL vOte'
and no moe. They did 1t by n superior organ
iz4tion TO any they have ever before possessed,
supplemented by volunteer organizations Of
workers composed Of business men, and PAID
for by voluntary contributions Of merchants
and manufacturers who felt their interests
were at stake The Republican vote was per
ceptiby swelcd by the deSertOn from Demo
cratic ranks Of large numbers of business men,
They pollcd for Garfield 40 per cent OF the en-
tire vote cash. while Mr.. Hayes got only 31.3 per
cent. General Hancock received only 6O per
cent, whereas Mr.. Tilden had 6j.7 per cent OF
the whole vote of 1876. In Kings County IN
equally good Republican organization D0Hcd
4j per cent of the total vote, whereas they had
only 40 per cent III 1876, and Hancock Ob-
tanned only % per cent where IIlden got 90
per cent. There Is no avoiding the logic OF
these plain figures. The Republicans polled IN
each county about per cent OF the Democratic
vote or their candidates. which means on the
total Of the two counties thar JUS, about l1'OOO
Democrats voted for Garfield and Arthur III
Kings and New-York counties.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-11-09

of our Tammany statesmen to curl with
scorn. Mr. Mackey had n majority, 1t
is stated. of nearly 10000, and the Demo-
cratic canvasscrs who had been prepared TO
cheat him out of 5000 or 1000 majority
failed to revise their calculations with care.
As consequence this audacious person has
an actual majority of 1000 votes, and the
aristocratic Democracy will now be obliged to
take the trouble of counting him in the can
vassiug boards. This IL bungling work, and
lowers the high average OF cheating power
which the party has always shown.
The dissolution Of the intercollegiate Liter
ary Association is to be regretted, though the
fact that it is due to lack of interest among
the colleges and to failure to raise an
endowment fund naturally raises the pre-
sumption that those who would not take
measures to continue the contests did not
feel the need of them. 1t is difficult to
understand why this should be so, unless, as
one of the trustees of the association suggests,
the idea was III advance of the time. 1t was
never supposed by any one that the boylsh
rivalries of the background and the boat-race'
and their methods of measuring superiority,
could or should be reproduced in contests IN
which a blunder IN the declension of Greek
noun might distance" competitor, or
catching rhetorical "crab" might cost
college the prize. But it was thought that
such competition as these contests embodied,
which was not one whit more mechanical IMAM
the rivalry to be seen in every collegiate ex-
animation and speaking, would result IN
a general emulation in scholarship among the
colleges The tendency OF the contests GER
tainy seemed to be- in this direction so long
as they lasted, though only limited number
of the colleges, and those not all OF the first
rank, took part in them. 1t is to be hoped
that the experiment Will be renewed some
day, under more favorable circumstances.

this kind of canvass cannot soon be rerelted.
The rebuke pronounced by the people upon the
managers of this one is too distinct and clear to
90 unhecdcd. We 90 not believe Mr.. Bainum
and bis Committee Will appear in another cam
pac1. And so we bid them good-by. The best
we can say of the Charm N and lis Committee
is that they are no worse than their party.

1t now seems that Mr. BaInum has quietly
returned Mr.. JEWELS dispatches to the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. Wien we last
heard of the case he was arguing in the news
papers, if we are not mistaken, that the dis
patches having come into his possession were
his to do with what he would. Their return,
after being withheld so long, is a confession
that they were stolen goods, and that Mr.. Bar
nun knew it. That is all there is of it. But
1t is pleasant to see him making a beginning
at confessing. Go ahead, Mr.. Barnum. You'll
need all your time!

of the missionary "of the idea of preaching
"to empty stomachs." Coffee and bread for
those who want them 90 with the sermon, and
both food and counsel are furnished Oh the
street corners and in the bye-ways Of the city
The preacher himself tells bis own story in a
quaint way, and is plainly in earnest. Social
scientists will charge, perhaps, that this Is only
one more way of adding to the burden of
pauperism. Mr. KenniOD, however, is full Of
faith in his scheme. and points to the fact
that it is believed to have done great good in
England.
