The Purity of the Ballot Box Must BE
Sustained or Civil Government win
Prove a Failure.
webster Tribune.

From every corner or the state we
hear Of bold, barefaced election frauds.
The Picayune publishes list of dead
men whose names appeared on the rolls
as voted in New Orleans. The official
vote gives McEnery over 10000 votes in
that city and she will now be repre-
scented in Democratic conventions by
f03 delegates instead of 81 as formerly.
Office is what they want first, and when
they get as much Office as they can,
they then make break for representa-
ton. The same practice was carried on
in most of the country parishes.
We have received information from
reliable authority that Col. Snider was
cheated out of his election by just such
work in his own parish. The returning
officer in Bossier happened to be against
him.
Such work must be stopped. We hear
of men known as honest and good citi
2ens sometimes resorting to such meth
dds and soothing their consciences I'M
der the guidance of such maxims as
"the end justities the means" anything
is fair in love, war and politics" and the
like. Experience has demonstrated the
falsity of such doctrines. II there ever
was an excuse on account of the times
for such work, there is none now. 1t
would have been far more creditable
for McEnery to be elected by One-third
his majority and for it to have been a
fair one, than his present enormous ma
jority is, which would amount to moth
ing if it was not official.
The Democratic party in this State is
making a great mistake. When we look
back and think of the wholesale Repub-
lican frauds and practices committed in
the past, we can, for a moment justify
such practices; but deeper thought
makes US see different. The overthrow
of Radicalism in this State was caused
by the great amount of moral weight on
our side, and the overthrow of Republi-
canism and success of Democracy will
be permanent if Democracy takes prin-
cipal for guide, but if it pursues a con-
trary course, in the long-run it will suf-
fer from its own infamy, especially
when they go SO far as to completely
annihilate the enemy and create the
necessity Of Democrat running against
Democrat. Men who first start such
fraudulent work, doubtless, at first,
never think of swindling a brother
Democrat. But they will do it, after
little hesitation. The Republican party
iu this State is practically, as dead as
door nail. All future contests must be
between Democratic factious. Demo
Gratis cannot cheat one another with
Here is the gap through
which such deviltry will be exposed
and the lie given to the doctrine of "the
end justify the means" When Demo-
Gratis begin to swindle one another
there is doubly sure to be trouble. TEL
Democrats wish to establish road to
permanent success they have got to pu-
rify the party and gain the confidence
of the masses.

The End of Dick Tweed.

New 1OrK Letbef to bOSUOu OiODS
 Bill Tweed's eldest son Dick, who at one time took the Metropolitan Hotel, it seems has died insane in Paris. He made failure of the Metropolitan Hotel, and the failure happened close on the continuation of things which ruined his fathers power. I had the melancholy privilege of bolding long inter view with Tweed after he returned to this country As had never had anything to do with him in his day of power, he excepted me from the other press people here, and let me come to see him. He told me that if he could only get out of jaily he would go to the most uninhabited and unsocia1 land and spend the remainder of his days. He said that when he went from Cuba to Spain on a small Spanish vessel be played solitaire on the deck by himself with delight, and would help scrub the decks almost with joy His son, and it may have been the same son Richard, was standing on the wharf at Vigo when Tweed was marched out of prison and put on United States vessel. He told me that he and the son never spoke to each other, indulging the faint hope that if he was not positively identified he might yet get of by some process of law. Sweeny is still living in Paris. He married @ woman for merly the wife of Page, the artist, by whom he has child. Sweeny has some mind, and can enjoy himself reading and perhaps writ irhp If we remember the time of Tweed, what must be our concern to find that at this moment there has been merely a change of persons, while the same organizations exist which rendered Tweed possible. There are two gangs or rings now in this city confront ing each other, one still intrenched in Tam many Hall one on the outside trying to break in. Whichever gets there, they will take the same view of their responsibilities. A hungry swarm of offee-holders recruited from every nstion will want the most pay with the least possible employment I have sometimes thought that the omnipotence which governs the world delights to see the miseries of man trying to govern himself. If this world was made for the glory of God, he must derive some little secret glory in seeing how badly men get along without him. se

Boy Robs a Bank.

From the St. Paul P1oneer-PreSS.
 News spread yesterday that the Peoples bank of St. Paul, at the corner of Seventh street and Sibley, had been robbed. The story was that Edward Mason, the messenger of the bank, boy about sixteen years old, had run off with large amount, supposed to be about $4 1000. Inquiry at the bank re- ceived from Mr. E. c. Rittenhouse, the cash fer, confirms the story. MT. Rittenhouse said: ssThere were two eompart- ments in our burglar-proof chest. The up per one contained the counter cash. The lower one held the bank reserve, amounting to about $20,000. These were entirely separ- ate, having different combinations. The amount of cash and gold in the upper safe was $6, ,021. On coming to the bank on Mon day morning earlier than usual I found the vault door locked, but the outer door of the burglar proof safe was unlocked. The cash and gold to the amount of $6, ,021 were gone. Nothing else was touched. There were clear ing house checks. other papers and the silver in the tray, to the amount of $200, all left as usual My opinion is that the amount was taken from the safe after my departure from the bank, about 5:15 o'clock Saturday eve ming. Mason was left alone about three quarters of an hour after that time to get up his daily balance-sheet The bookkeeper on his return found the vault door locked, the books put away and everything about the office as usual We have learned that young Mason had planned and talked about this robbery at least three weeks ago. The boy was recommended to me by gentleman of high standing in this city, who had known the family for many years. He recommend ed the boy in high terms. had never seen or heard anything of the boy that would arouse suspicion"
 Young Mason lived with his mother on Iglehart street, near Wabasha. He bears the name in the neighborhood of being man nerly, bright boy, fond of fun in the evening and attentive to his work in business hours He went regularly to the bank and was very rarely off duty. From the fact that young boy friend of Mason's, named Charles R. Parker, has not been seen since Saturday night, it is supposed that he has gone off with the youthful robber.
