The limits of Democratic stupidity have not
vet been discovered. Exceedingly close to
those limits, though, must be the prrtence
that New-York was carried for General Car
field by means of fraudulent colonization OF
Republican voters. Voters cOlOnized must first
have been registered, and subjected to the
close scrutiny of active workers from every
fraction of every school district Ii the Dem
ocratic workers in Ncw-YOrk, representing so
great Il majority of the reputation, permitted
over 20. 900 persons to register and to vote
fraudulently for the minority, that party ought
TO be beaten for its supreme stupidity, II for
nothing else.
If there is a single intelligent person in this
or any other state who imagncs that this
charge may have some foundation, perhaps
he will kindly inform Us from what State the
cOloniZed voters were taken. The charge OF
colonization has this disadvantage, that it
will not stick unless it can be shown where
the voters went FROM as well as where they
fraudulently located Thus every person of
sense knows at once that Mr.. Blrnum was
living when he asserted that the Republic
cans were taking voters to Florida, where they
could accomplish nothing, from NeW-l 0rk,
where every Republican vote was needed. il
there ever was a more stupid falseh0Od told by
ANYBODY certainly il was not tod by an
American II 10000 voters came into New
York, where did they come fr0mg Certainly
thew were not taken from other States where
the Republicans needed every vote they could
command. If from any other State, that State
must show some relative loss of Republican
votes; but every Northern STATE, except Maine
and the Pacific States, show beth positive
and relative increase Of Republican votes. Not
even at Democratic headquarters can there he
found a creature so eXqulstely silly as to sup
pose that voters were moved to Newly OrG 5000
mil, from the doubtful Pacific States, or from
the close states of Name, cw-IIampshirc, Con
necticut or Ncw-Jcrsey But the net gam in
Republican maiOrities, on the total vote of
1876, was 40 per cent in Vermont, 4.2 per
cent in Massachusetts, 40 per cent in Con-
necticut, As per cent in New-Jcrsey, 40 per
cent in Ohio and only 5.3 per cent III New
York. and the great influence Of the chief
financial centre of the country, with Che unpop-
ular Democratic nomination for Mayor and
the fcud between Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Tidcn
amply account for the insignificant difference
in Republican gain as to these States. The
following shows the total vote in 1876 in each
State. and the ratio of Republican gain or loss
in majoritcs in 1850 to the total vote in
1876:

and we shall probably never KIN Ow how many
futile attempts at subornation have been
made or how wide have been the ramfca-
tons of this audaciOus sch" nc OF political
yillany. Nor is it at all probable that
either the Orglnators or abettors OF the crime
will ever receive their deserts or be adequately
punished. However that may he. whatever
becomes of the Philips and Harris and Lind-
says, one thing is plain: that the people OF
the United States, upon whom this mseraDic
cheat and imposition was attempted, should
be thoroughly enlightened as to the plot, ana
who originated and became responsible for
if. and for what purpose. The purpose OF
il was obvious. 1t was to cheat the people
for the benefit of the Democratic party MI.
Barnum and his committee perpetrated IN
this proceeding a gross and outrageous crime
upon the American people, and the crime ana
its authors should not be forgotten.
Opinions differ as to the effect 1t
had upon the election. 1t is believed
by some that many intelligent and
reputable Democrats were so Disguised by it
that they voted the Republican ticket and
that in consequence the party was more huit
than helped by it. This is not our view
OF The case. we HtlleNc lHt MOitJ ''p'i VIM
have to considerable extent the effect that
was desired and expected. From various
quarters we hear of aboring men who had
made UP their minds to vote Tor Garileid
as the friend OF American labor, who, upon
the appcarance OF the Morey forgery, changed
their minds and voted for Hancock. We be-
lieve there are manufacturing districts where
this was true to such an extent as to materl-
ally affect the vote and there is little DOUBT
that it gave the electoral vote OF Calltor-
MA and Nevada to Hancock. The voters were
deceived and cheated. What should be done
now is to make it plain to every voter VINO
was deceived Ivy this fraud that he was
cheated that Mr.. Barnum his committee and
his party as deliberately swndied them as II
they had put off upon them counterfeit coin
or pinchbecl watch for pure gold.
1t is not enough that the plot failed. Its
repetition should be made impossible and the
Ori1iuatOrs, aders and abettOrs OF 1t held up
10 public execratOn and made infamous.
There should be the widest publication OF the
facts. so that no man in the whole land who
was scared into voting for Hancock by this
vile cheat shall fail to know that he has been
swindled out of his vote. 1t should be held
I'D as a warning and lesson. The Morey
Forgery should not be permitted to die out
of the public mind, but should continually re-
turn to plague its inventors.
