Yesterdays mortality il to-day immortal. Men
still stalwart remember when the story of William
LLOYD Garrison's being mobbed by the solid men
of Boston was the freshest morning news. Now it
is history Fifty years to-day hpvc passed since that
event. Few men whose personal observation has
boon limited to the period since the formation of
the National Republican party can appreciate the
character of the times in which Garrison began to
labor His voico was literally that of crying in
the Wilderness. No ear was open to the cry for
freedom. The wrongs of Poland. the struggles of
the Greeks enlisted readily American sympathics;
but for the bondman within our gates no heart
throbbcd and nc voice WAS lifted up. Pulpit and
press seemed lcagucd to suppress any movement
toward emancipation, drowning the prayer OF the
slave with the cry of "CurScd bc Canaan [" and the
denunciaton of incondiarsm aud treason.
Into such q midnight sky Garrison burst like
fiery meteor. Impracticable, uurcas Onablo as even
his friends ther thought him. he was tremendously
IN earnest. The old New England spirit was asleep
in the very cradle of liberty, and must be aroused.
This was his work, and how we'll he performed it
his enemies witnessed by their frantic endeayors to
stop Ilm "Agitation" was his password and
agitation was maintained until its object was
accomplished. That attainment was long post
poned, and camo in q far different way from that
which Garrison had planned Nevertheless, it
came, and he accepted it with satisfaction.
And now Boston stoops TO gather M the stones
she cast at this stern prophet in order to build him
a goodly monument

knowing that the business was crooked; that Is
to say, that there was a swindle in it. Men DO
not find such interest on loans as Ward PAID Ill
legitimate enterprises. Now whether Wards
"pals were aware of the fictitious nature
of the alleged contracts, or whether they
believed in the reality of the contracts
they knew well that the money they were
pocketing so eagerly was obtained by dishonest
methods. There is no escape from this conclu-
sion. If they believed in the contracts they be-
leved that Ward was swindling the Govern
mcnt. If they did not believe in the contracts
they believed that he was swindling somebody
else. No man lent money to Ward because lie
thought the business which brought those mon
strous profits was legitimate. Or this there
can be no doubt and perhaps it is because they
pcrceive the straitness of the corner in which
they are pcnncd that Wards "pals,' having
practiscd addition and division so long and sue
cessfully, now fall back upon silence as the only
refuge open to them. We hope, however, that
Justice may be able to drive them out of even
that retreat eventually.

NOT THE TOICE or THE PEOPLE,


The city of Cincinnati, according TO The Sun,
shows nm actual loss in its Republican vote
comparcd with that of last year. Hence that
journal nfcrs that the policy Of Senator Sher-
man is condemned by the people OF that city.
But its statement has 10 warrant in returns
yet made public.
Thanks TO the trickcry of the Ring, no
returns of the election in Cincinnati have yet
been made. 1t is not known what sort OF
returns NAV be made. But if the reports at the
close of the polls were correct, it Is certain that
fraudulent votes in great numbers were cast.
The fraudulent operations were all directed
by the gang which absolutely controls the
registration, the police force and the ballot
boxes. which discharged an army of criminals
and lOafcrs from various places of confinement
on condition that they should "worll for the
Democrats on election day, and which 50
shamclcsslv dsrcgardcd all law on that day
that respectable Democrats themsclvs were
foremost i'm demanding the arrest and con-
vction of the men concerned, from the Chlcl
of Police down. The Citizens Committee,
presided over by n stanch and honorable
Democrat. expressed the belief that fully 3,OOO
illegal votes were provided for by fraudulent
registration. Yet even this wholesale fraud
was not enough, but the returns Of many
precincts were held back IN order to commit
further frauds, 50 ~ 10 overcome the Rcpub-
lican majority which sill rcmlincd.

While the Republican City Convention in
Brooklyn might, perhaps, have nominated for
Mayor candidate who would have drawn more
Democratic votes than Mr. Schroeder, it could
hardly have chosen man who more richly de-
served the honor. Mr.. Schroeder's former ad-
ministration of this Office and his career as
Senator have shown him to be an honest, fear
less and panstaking official. To him is largely
due the excellent city charter Of Brooklyn, by
which the power of appointing and removing
the heads of departments is concentrated IN
the Mayor. Mr. Schroeder is a strong candi-
date, and will receive the unanimous and en-
thusiastic support of all Republicans lie Will
also be preferred to BOSS" McLaughlin's candi-
date by self-rcspccting Democrats who are OPP
posed to one man power and ring rule The
Citizens League has gone so far as to nominate
General Woodward for Mayor as an indie
pendent Democrat Such course increases
the chances of Republican success at the polls.
There will be no reversiOn to the domination
of the ring controlled by Mclaughlin.

SECRETARY UHITNETS UORK.

TIE TRGBUNE'S aTraignment of the present
administration of the Navy Department is
grounded upon expert testimony of the highest
character. The general charge is that Sccrc-
tary Whitney entered into a political con-
spiracy with a special examining board ap-
pointed by himself and with Attorney General
Garland for the purpose Of dscIediting his
predecessors in Office and of making capital for
the new Administration. The specifications
are 1. That the Dolphin was condemned by
partisan AMI incompetent board on frivolous
pretexts after it had been accepted by
the Advisory Board as satisfactory in all
respects. 2. That the Advisory Board was
discredited and the contractor exposed to
malignant persecution for the sake of establish
ing for the Department fictitious reputation
for practical efficiency. 3. That the contractor
was finally driven into bankruptcy rs the result
of this political conspiracy. and staggering
blow directed against the building indus
try. 4 hese are the charges which shipping and
naval experts fully sustain in the series of in
terviews published on another page.

Mr.. Evarts made a mastery address before
the Buffalo Republicans last night, the nam
points of which will be found in THE
TRlBUNE's dispatches. He did not hesitate to
discuss the National issues mingled with the
State issues in this canvass, nor to demand that
the South should prove its acceptance of the
results of the War by a hearty and sin
cere support of the XVIII Amendment. when
the South is willing to consent to moral and
loyal union with the North there will no longer
be a suppression of the negro vote.

political dishonesty may shrek in dismay
over Mr. Evartss frank statements; but such
sentiments commend themselves to all honest
Republicans.

Governor Hill has been trying to squiIm out
of his support of the Ring Judges in 1872, by
the declaration that he voted for their impeach-

Albany letter In tO-day's tribune. But he de-
layed the report and at first voted against the
resolution for impeachment, and then brought
in a minority report signed by himself alone
