The tolls of the law are tightening around
the host Of election rogues IN jersey City and good
citizens feel greatly encouraged at the prospect
Oi getting these rascas within the Penicntary
walls before long. Details of the wholesale regis

spring in manufacturing "A seeming majority for
Mayor Cleveland, as discovered by those who are
conducting the Mayoralty contest for Mr.. Per-
kinS, the Republican candidate, were described IN
Ihc Tribune two weeks ago to-day. Fresh evil
dcnce has been secured within these two weeks
which makes the frauds So giaring that it will
he impossible for any court TO refrain from oustinS
Mr. Cleveland. For two weeks thorough house
toulouse canvass has been going on in the two
Aldcrmcn's districts where Mr.. Cleveland got all

fall were duplicated in the spring. Said one OF
