NOTES or THE CINTISS.

Among the many tricks practised by the
Democratic politicians is that of forging the names of
Republicans to circulars recommending Democratic can
ddates Such an unwarancd use has been made Of the
name of ex-Judge William II. ArnOux, II having been
signed circular in favor of James OB1en for Regis
ter Mr.. has telegraphed from Washington de-
nOunCing the use OF his name as unauthorized.
The Democrats are making desperate efforts
to defeat Henry w. Hayden, the Republican candidate
for the Assembly in the XXIvth District Alleged sets
of Republican ballots have been made mp with John ].
Clark the Tammany candidates name on for Assembly.
Voters should beware Of these Inscriptions election day

nothing is conducive the public welfare in the
protection OF property person and life than tho certain
and vigorous enforcement OF the criminal law, and moth
ing gives more encouragement to desperate and
criminal characters than the belief that In their
crimes discovered they will through the imperfect

uncertainties escape the consequences OF their crimes.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE.l
TRENTON, Nov. 6.-Advices received to-day
from all parts Of the State show greatly increased conf
dence on the part of Republicans that the issue Of the

on an evident reaction among the reputable portion
OF the Democracy against the political methods OF Leon
Albeit The continual hnmmering at his record on the
mart Of the Republican and Independent press has also
begun 70 tell heavily against him. People convinced
that where there s so much smoke there must be little
fire The Democratic decentralization is increased by local
faction fights in Passalc, Morris, Mddesex Hudson and
