EVERY ONES DUTY TO REGISTER
ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT AND TAMMANY is FAIRLY
AWAKE TO ITS DANGER.

Friday and Saturday OF this week are the last two
DAYS on which those intending to vote can have their
names registered. On the registration OF these two
days depends the result of the coming election 1t
will mean either continuation Of Tammany msrule
and corruption the good government OF ticket
made up OF we'll known men, who can be trusted to
apply business principles and experience to the man
agement OF the local government The registration OF
the two previous days has been against Tammany. and
should the election take place to-day there Is little
doubt in the minds OF many that roIslng majority
against Tammany would be given But the Tammany
leaders In the lower wards have been called TO account
by their chief and strenuous efforts being made to
get ont big Tammany registration. To do this a
resort has been made to colonization, and in several
districts Tamnlany plots to I'll up lodging houses with
tramps have been discovered. These are notably IN
the WITH With, With and XvIth Assembly Districts
Efforts will be made to break up these TaEnany
schemes and the arrest Of those Who register illegally
will follow.
But this alone will not prevent the Tamnany heel
ers' from crowding upon the registry lists the names
OF hundreds and perhaps thousands OF ramps. whose
votes will count against those OF men who are legally
entitled 10 vote.
Every who Is in sympathy with coed govern
mcnt should to IL before going To work tomorrow
morning that his name has been properly recorded on
the registry lists. only by getting out big vote can
Tammany Hall be defeated.

TIE INVESTIGATION GREATLY DESIRED.

A weak attempt was made yesterday by Demo
Gratis to show that the Republican oficeholders OF
this city are making concerted effort to subver the
Civil Service law for partisan purposes. This charge
was made In connection with the controversy In the
Examining Board Of the Custom House and the claim
was made that Captain William E. PIERCE, OF the
Board and United states Civil service Commissioners
Lyman and Thompson had checkmated the con
splracy, whereupon scheme was set on foot TO Dust
them from Office. The bottom OF this attack falls
out when two facts are presented 1t was Ap
praser Cooper who requested Theodore Roosevelt TO
investigate the affair and not Captain Pierce. Messrs.
Hlrdsall. Ryder and Walden, who resigned from the
Eoard are not members Of the same political party
Mr. Brdsall apd Mr. Ryder are Republicans, and Dir.
Walden is Democrat.
II was also charged that the special questions
imprOper. But the fact remains that these questions
were accepted by tc Board Of Examiners, aud finally
Endorsed by the Board al Washington. There Is a
conspiracy and wants 1t uncovered any quicker
than Appraiser Cooper becau,e lie Ia, not YET been
