GENERAL MCCOOK SHTT OFT.

The remarkable triumph of the Republican
voters over the machine, which has secured To
the opponents of Mr. Conkling II clear majority
OF all the delegates to the State Convention,
must not divert public attention from the
shamcldl means to which his supporters re-
sorted. Nothing but Il great uprising of Re-
publican voters cOuld have overcome those
devices. In large majority of the districts. il
Is true the desperate efforts of Mr. Conk ling's
friends proved frutless. But it is also true
that II large proportion of the delegates who
favor him were foIsted upon the party against
its will, and by most unblushing frauds. Many
instances have already been discussed But it
is fortunate that the performance in the XIIIth
Assembly District of this city will force upon
the attention of the Convention and the party
the methods by which Republican voters have
been robbed of their rights.
General ADson G.. McCook is Republican,
WILL and widely known. He entered the Union
service at the outbreak of the war and took
part i'll its earliest battles, and rose to the rank
of General at its close and has 70. three sue
cessive terms been elected n Republican to
Congress- being the only Republican from this
city III the XLVth Congress-. He signed the
roll of the Republican association in his district
years ago, has been chosen by it repeatedly as
twice rs member of the State Central Commit
tee. If there is Republican in this State who
has right To vote ut meetings of the party, the
right of General McCooll to vote at such meet
ings in the district in which he resides and
which he now represents, is absolutely unques-
ti0nabe. Yet the Conkling managers refused
to allow him to vote in the primary meeting in
his district, on the false pretence that his name
was not on the roll. Though this case is CON
spcuous it is not isolated. Many other life
long Republicans were DISTINGUISHED in the
Same manner. The exclusion of General Nc
Cook only illustrates very plainly the high =
handed and infamous measures by which the
great majority of the genuine Republicans of
New-Yor have been for years robbed of their
rghts-by which delegates devoted to the in
terests OF one man have been forced upon the
party against its will
In General McCook's district, only fifty-six
votes were allowed to be cast for hlm and three
other good Republicans on the same ticket.
Many Republican members of the association
offered their votes and were excluded. the man
ayers having coDtrived a machine ticket which
could not be 80 folded that its character would
not be recognized at once by those in charge of
the box. Voters who offered any other ticket
were refused right to vote whenever the man
ayers pleased. The case of General McCool,
himself shows how shamelessly they used their
power. In violation of established rule, the
roll had been prepared in secret, and had not
been posted up for ten days, so that members
who had been fraudulently omitted from it
had no opportunity To ask its correction. On
New-York tribune., 1881-10-04

the other hand, persons who are kno1n Demo-
Gratis, and others who do not reside in the dis
trict were permitted to vote for Mr.. Conkling's
ticket, which received 1872 votes. These 1872
persons, not all Republicans residents of the
district, were thus enabled to elect delegates
for the Alta Republicans who voted for Presi-
dent Garfield in 1880 in that Assembly Dis
trict.
Similar indecent conduct resorted to
throughout the city by managers of the
machine. Out of 81 ,730 persons who voted for
President Garfield in this city, only about
10000 are on the rolls of the regular associa-
tons, so that they would have been permitted
to vote for delegates if the managers had not
cheated. 1he associations have been "reor-
ganzed" again and again, contrary to fixed
rules of the party, in order TO purge from the
rolls the names of Republicans who would not
be mere tools of the machine and yet,
rapidly has the opposition TO Mr.. Conkling
grown, and so great is the majority against him
among the Republicans of this city, tnat the
managers did not dare TO allow an honest vote
even of members upon the rolls of their packed
associations.
The exclusion of General McCook will bring
this whole business before the State Conven-
ton. in such form that there can be no msun.
uerSIanulng ABOUT IL. 1De Republicans OF
this city demand n free and honest vote. The
Convention will dshonor itself and betray the
true interests of the Republican party if it does
not proceeu to break up entirely the packed and
fraudulent associations which now assume to
rule the party 1t ought to cause a full and
honest enrolment of all Republican voters
upon which fut ire primary meetings shall be
based Moreover, the Convention ought also to
order, as soon possible after such full enrol
ment new meetings for the election of all com
mttees, so that the party may hereafter have
some voice in its organization. The absolute
destruction of the entire machine in this city.
and the formation of an organization which
shall represent the voters and which they shall
control, must be effected before the Republican
party OF Ncw-GOr can be expected TO poll its
full strength for any ticket, however merito-
rous When IA machine gets into such a state
that 1T can by amy possibility deprive such a
Republican as AnsOn C. McCook of the right
to vote at Republican primary, the one thing
to be done is to smash that machine and give
the voters OF the party chance to organize for
themselves. No machine that insults and robs
the honest Republican voters can be of any
Isc; the harm which it has done and now does
to tie party is incalculablc.

THE GARFIELD REPURIJCdNSv

One or two of the newspapers that never
hesitate to call a spade spade, when freeing
their minds with regard to the opponents of
Mr.. Conkling, seem to be very much exercised
because, III the first place, Mr.. Co1klinp il
"lugged into" the controversy concerning
delegates to the State Convention !; and second
because those who oppose the reinstatement of
Mr.. Conkling as " Boss y call themselves Car
field Republicans" The former proceeding
they look upon as quite improper, and the latter
as absolutely shocking. But what did these
gentlemen expectR Mr.. Conkling's name was
never "lugged in" at all. Speaking for those
who, without counting themselves precisely ms
opponents of MIR. Conkling-since it is unneces
sary to oppose man after he has retired from
public life-might still be reckoned as of the
class who were and are quite content that he
should remain i'll the retirement he wooed

desire whatever to lug him in." A majority

that there would be an end of the miserable and

Things are still lively in Ireland. Mr.. Par
nell appears to he making a sort of triumphal
progress up and down the island with the
exhilarating accomplishments of bands, trades
professions and cavalcades of horsemen AT
the same time the farmers who believe in the
Land bill and do not choose to be BOvcOtted
for their faith are forming organizations for
their mutual protection. After all the excite
ment of the past summer we should be glad
to know how the potato crop is turning out.
That is the principal factor in the problem of

consequence than professions and speeches.
Like their brethren beyond the Tweed,
the English farmers are not slow to claim
Tor themselves the privileges which the new
Irish Land bill gives to their fellow agriculture
lists on the other side of st. Georges Channel.
A draft OF a bill has just been prepared by
the Farmers Alliance, resembling the Irish
measure in the important features of immunity
for the tenants from capricious eviction, the
right to sell their improvements and the estab-
lishment OF land courts. Parliament will have
to deal with these new movements at it's next
session, and it can hardly refuse one part of
the Kingdom the benefits it has just granted
to another. English landlords who voted for

the discontented island, will not relish, how
ever, this speedy demand for home application
OF the principles of that measure.
