JoHS !. DAygNPoRr, of New York, has had
his wings clipped. They should have been
cut of entirely. II is not his fault that
there have not been riots and bloodshed at
elections in New York at amy time the past
ten years, for his conduct has offered every
Incentive to riotous proceedings. The will
ing tool OF a despot could not have acted
more outrageously than this Chief Super
visor did in many cases. For years he
has seized, or directed his subordinates to
seize, naturalization papers without any
authority except that dictated by his own
sweet will. lie was taken before Judges
Blatchford and Choate last Monday on pc
tition asking for his removal, ON the ground
of his exercise of arbitrary authority. The
petition for his removal was denied, but the
judges gave him such significant hints that
his instructions 10 his subordinateB to seize
certificates of naturalization issued in 1865
have been modified. lnrtead Of taking them
boldly, as the highwayman would, without
warrant Of law, arrests are to be made upon
due process, and purer judicial officer, and
not Johnny Davenport, is to determine
whether the certificates are fraudulent or
not. This is at least something gained in
the interest Of the liberty Of the citizen.

WVote - YOu Shot. !"

The stalwart press is shouting once
more its old battle cry. It does not adj
dress itself to the reason and conscience
of the voter. It has no argument to
persuade the thoughtful or to convince
the doubling. Its only resource con-
sists in its oft repeated and hackneyed
appeal to sectional prejudice and pas
sion. "vote as you shot!" Is the sum
and substance Of its augmentation.
We are disposed to take the stalwart
editors at their word. ,s, -.aa -

The Parties and the Tickets.

There are many voters in the country
on whom party ties rest lightly. The
elections are at hand. We ask those
voters to candidly, dispassionately,
without prejudice, take 4 full, long
look at the two parties and the two
tickets in order to determine impartially
which party and which ticket is more
deserving Of their support in this elec-
tion. It is reported that the illustrious
soldier who was almost nominated tor
the Presidency at Chicago said of the
nomination of General Hancock at Gin
cinnati that the nomination was excel
lent, but he did not like the party that
had nominated Hancock. Whatever be
the truth concerning this report, that
sentiment is the burden of Republican
arguments in this canvass. Unable to
attack the Democratic candidate. the
Republican managers attack the Demo-
cratic party.
