WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 70. 1892.
New York-Again.

The good news from New York given IN
che DISPATCH Of Yesterday confirms what
we said the day before as to the bright
prospects of the Democrats in that State.
The lugubrious and ludicrous telegram
from Mr.. I. ii. CARTER, chairman Of the
Republican National Committee. charging
that hundreds of negroes are being taken
from and through Tennessee TO vote IN
New York, testifes also that the Republl-
cans are ION the run" Neither negroes
nor whites can vote in New York without
having been registered; and 1t Is mere
folly to say that JOHNNY DAVENPORT and
his gang will stand by the registration
books and allow ignorant, nonresident
negroes 10 register as q preliminary TO
their voting tho Democratic ticket Be
sides, registration is well nigh over in New
York. The first days registration resulted
largely in favor Of the Democrats. and fur
nished full proof that 1ammany will be
heard from on the night Of the sth of No
vember. when the grandest Democratic
victory of the century will be announced
throughout the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
By the way, it must be said for Tamma-
nv that her braves had to make n sacri-
flee for which they ought TO receive due
credit when. after securing the whole
seventy-two votes Of New York in the
Democratic National Convention. and
working for the success Of the man for
whom those votes were cast, they were
compelled by sense of duty to rally TO
the support of the man they had been op-
posing. Not that ell good Democrats do
not have TO make sacrifices occasionally,
but because the Syracuse convention was
boilers convention, aud the men who
opposed Tammany 80 bitterly were also
boilers. Mr. CLEVELAND fortunately kept
out of the difficulty between the regulars
and the boilers and was therefore able IN
due time TO unite both the County De-
mocracy and Tammany upon himself. We
rejoice that so good and true man was
found TO accomplish this object.
Another New York telegram in yester-
days papers tolls Us that ample funds y
"wcre pledged for the work necessary to
poll the heaviest Republican vote possible
in the State" This pledging was done at
@ meeting Of the chalrmen of the Repub-
lIcan county committees with some of the
members of the Republican National
Committee. And they had the unblushlng
impudence to send out along with their
cock-and- pull story about negro tramp
voters. the statement that the New York
Repuhlicans were urged TO work for the
capture of as many Democratic votes for
the Republican ticket as they could Sc
cure, they (the Republican National Com
mlttee) guaranteeing all he necessary IT,
penSes"!
Here we have downright bribery and
corruption. Yes, it is bribery and corrup-
lion confessed. First. ample funds are
IN hand 10 enable the JOHNNY DAVENPORT
bandItti TO poll "the heaviest Republican
vote possible i'll the State" That is to say
ali sorts of fraud will be resorted TO-, and
the Republican vote swelled by every KIND
of trickery. Second, the Republicans are
charged to work for the capture" of as
many Democrats for the Republican
ticket as they can secure. Capture is
O good word. Do not say buy" nor
"steal." Convey" or capture ," Is the
word. Yes, capture" is q good word.
But if Tammany doesn't make it hot for
these vote-stealers or vote-capturers, then
we are mistaken.
Recollect that JOHNNY DAVENPORT and
his gang of rascals will be standing at every
voting-place in New York and will on the
sth of next month gives us a foretaste of
what the force bill will be if it ever be-
comes a law. Deputy-marshals and su-
pervisors of election will crowd around the
ballot-boxes IN New York and capture"
es many Democrats as possible, intimidate
as many as possible. arrest as many as pos
sible, and by fair means or foul poll the
heaviest Republican vote possible in New
York city.
Too much importance cannot be at
tached TO tho fact that the force bill in its
present shape will be in full operation in
New York on election-day. The Repubh-
cans are desperate. Bribery. corruption,
fraud, and force will be resorted TO in the
effort 10 carry the Empire State and thus
20 secure" the election of HARRISON.
Yes. force" is TO stand at every voting
place IN New York and endeavor TO cap
ture" Democratic votes. Thank Heaven
for Tammany, whose braves never finch
before the minions of Federal power.
We close with the words we used yester-
terday. 1.-The crime of 1876 will never be
repeated"
