Tho tologram-stealing trick of Mr. Barnum aud the forgery of the Truth newspaper show to what desperate straits the Vemo- eratlo party {3 reduced, But Republicans should not be thrown off thelr guard by these signs of weakness on the part of their opponents, It docs not follow because tho Demoeratic managers are desperate that they havo despaired of victory. Indeed, the contrary is the fact. ‘he entire Democratic party of tho country have been inspired by this forged letter, Knowing {hat contradic. tion would follow swiftly on tha heels of the ‘audaciotts fabrication, Its promoters tool caro that the forgery should bo scattered brondcast over the land, Intending to follow itup with impudent dentals of the truth of the allegation and proofs of Its Infamous falsity. ‘That the Democratic party Is rendy and willing to profit if it can by so vile a conspiracy -shows not only how des- porate It is, but, which is far more im- vortant, how prompt Jt {fs to commit and fathor a crime in the Interest of success. In thls ‘faet Iles the danger. ‘Tho designed affect of the forged letter will bo counter- acted. But the party which is capable of su great an Infamy is equally eapable of organ- izing fruuds upon tho suffrage on election | day; and those frauds once actually com- mitted cannot be met and counteracted as the forged lotter has been met. ‘ ‘There is too strong a tendency on tho part of Republicans to discount tho expected vie- tory of next Tuesday, A. political victory cannot be discounted as tho maker of 9 note may discount his paper before it falis duc, ‘Phe Republican party may have the votes— Ithas—to win the election, But counting thom up befere clection-day does not secure tho desired result, ‘Choy must be polled one by one, Nor !s thisall, Fraudulent votes must be kept out of the box, ay honest votes must be gotten Into the box, And to accom plish both these purposes there must bo sys- tematic detail work. Shouting “ We've got them whipped” won’t do ft, It is ns- suined on every hand that Garfleld and Arthur will bo elected next ‘Tuesday. How inany Republicans, impelled by this comforting reflection, proposy to shirk tho trouble and annoyance of voting? It {is very important to ascertain this fact, because it will require but 2 small number in each voting precinct to imperil the result In halt the States. “There ura probably 2,000 voting districts In IlMnofs. 1f, now, ton Republicans {n exch district neglect to vote, and the De- mioerncy poll all thelr votes and succeed in atealing in ton fraudulent votes In each district, the nggregate difference is 40,000 yotes! Enough to wipe out tho largest esti- mated Republican majority! It is quite pluln, therefore, that these two considera- ’ tons are of vital importance to tho success of the Republican party—namely: (1) ‘Lo bring out tho stay-nt-homo vote, and (2) keep the would-be fraudulent yotes out of the ballot boxes. Shouting, “ We've got them whipped,” Is very well In its place, but there fs no place nor time for {t during tho Inst week of the canvass, Dut thore isa time to stop humbug with a brass band, and this s tho tlie,” When the Democratic party resorts to auch wicked roguery ns forging campaigtadocu- ments, and to the petty meanness of’ sténting and distorting its opponent's telegraphic dis- patches, {tis notice to all Republicans that thoy are not to be allowed to take a political Judginent by default. The remainder of tho Democratic canvass is to be a canvass of un- blushing falsehood, and on election-day these desperate measures will be supplemented with attempts at the execution of daring frauds, Only ono weok Is left for organiza- tion,—organization to bring out tho full Re- publican strength, and organization to meet and throttle the cheats and rascals who pro- poso to corrupt tho suffrage. _——_——— DEMOURATIO HOPES OF REPUBLICAN SUCCESS. Gen, Grant has doveloped of Inte more enpaelty for polities than he has generally been supposed to possess, ‘The speeches which he has mado at tho varlous mectings over which he ling presided {1 tho Eastern elties have beon concise, pointed, and telling, It Js lls habit to tako. somo onc idea and put {t before his audience In the most emphatic and convineing manner, ‘This is a method which tho professional and recognized pub- le spenkers can scarcely be expected to adupt, because something more exhaustive of tho political situation is demanded of thei, Noyertheless, {t is uot unlikely that Gen, Grant's utterances as presiding officer of a number of public meetings have exerted more Influence over the people than many more elaborate efforts of the campaign, ‘Tho ruling idea of his Utica speech was set forth in the followlng paragraph: Wo do not advocate tho pringlplcs of tho Ro- Purbiteun purty because we bolieve they aro for he yoo of the Republican party alone, and to tho prejudice of tho interest of the opposit purty, but wo proclaim thom at this thine bo- wnuse we bollove thoy are tho buat for nll purties, Wo bellove that tho Democrts aro just og much interestod teduy in the success of the Republican party as the Hopublicans of the United States ure, It is not too much to’ say that this idea, yarlously formulated and applied, underlies thodriftof politicalsontimentthisyear, which. has brought back to the Republican party nearly all of those who had eyer acted with {t, and induced n large number of Democrats in all localities to announce thelr intention of yotlng tho Itopublican ticket for the first thie, The Democratlo leaders are governed by thelr lust for spoils, ‘Thore fs somothing more than a struggle for the offices on the Republican slde, ‘he Democrats advocate achange In general policy, not because tho publis welfare demands o change, but bo- caude it is only by meaus of such change that the Government patronage” can bo opened up to them, ‘Tho Republicans resist the proposed: change, not merely to provide for the continuance in office of the present incumbents, but bucause the existing condl- the present working force of the Govprn- ment, and tha contentment of tho render any aud every chango hazardGus aud undesirable, Men who have voto the Dem- uon of prosperity, the exporfonce and skill of opie’ ocraulc ticket og a matter of bablt, but have , property or busin served, are as {mpres: Republicans are, and hence the popular tide in favor of Republican success, Tho election of Garficld and Arthtr at this tine will practically Insure tho ateady and uniform progress in Government credit, po- litical harmony, and which ling been going on during tho past four years, The Doinocrata will enjoy n full sharo of the advantages growing out of such nresult, There are no unequal laws In the country which discrlininate in favor of ona political party or one class ns against anothe er.

In this respect, the attitude of tho new Ministry reflects the splrit of the people, and since its advent into power tho whole country appears to have risen In arin, and is waiting with impaticnce the signal to take the flutd, What tho Greckd may lack in numbers they make up in spirit.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. In the general heat of politics tho fact Is being overlooked that a proposed amentl- ment to the Constitution has been submitted to the people by the last General Assembly for thoir consideration, and for tholr rojec- tion or adoption on Tuesday next. It reads: In each county thore shall bo clected tho fol- fowines county ollicers, nt the Fonnral election to be heli on tho Tuesday attor tho first Monday tn Novyamber, A. D, 1882, 1 County Judge, County Clerk, Sherif, and Treasurer, and vt tha efees tion to be hold on the Tucsday after tho first Monday In Novombor, A. 1). 1834, 2 Coroner and a Clerk of the Clreuit Court (who miny be Ox-ollicio Recorder of Deeds, excopt in counttics having 60,000 and more Inbabjtants, in which countics w Recorder of Nceus shall bo elected at tho general clection fn 1881). “Eneh of sald oftl- cers shall enter upon tho dischargo of his oflica respectively on tho first Monday of December after his cleation, and thoy shall hold their re. spective ofllees for the term of four years, und until thelr successors ary elected and quallileds provided, that no person having once beon oleot« ed to the olfice of Sherlit or ‘reaguror shull bo ellgibte to retivotion to said office for four years after tho expiration of tho terin for which ho shall have Deon elected, The changes which this makes in the pres- ent system of county oflictals aro radical and important, If does away with tho annual elections that now occur by making the term of office of Sherlif, Treasurer, aud Coroner four yenrs, aud by providing for the election of the first two named at the sane time the County Judge and County Clerk aro elected. Tho election for these four ofllcers will thus fall into whatis termed the “off year” In pollties, beginning with 1882, while the Cor- oner must cast his lot in with the “ heavy weights” from 1884 on. An Incumbent of the office of Treasurer or Sheriff {s made incligible to reélection until after a poriod of four yonrs from tho expiration of his tern, ‘The office of County Surveyor is abandoned, Such are the changes proposed; and those who are dissatistied with tho present method of holding an election each year for tho se- Iectlon of some one of theso county ofiicers, and who wish to gaye the expense Incident thereto, and secure reasonable restrictions on offielals holding public funds, as well as haye one year when the “candidate” will not bo abrond, such can reach these desirable ends by voting “For” the constitutional amend- ment. Says Gen. Hancock: “If I wero Presi- dent L would yotoall legislation which might come before me providing for the considera- tlon or payment of claims of any kind for losses or damages by persons who were in rebellion, whether pardoned or not.” Would you, General? A similar pledge was once nado by & Domocratic cane didate for the Vice-Presidency in regard to ncertain tarlif statute, When Polk and Dal- Ins wero running for the Presidency ond Vice-Presidency in 18H, thoy claimed to bo as good Protectionists as Henry Clay, Poli’s competitor, Speaking in his own house to trionds who assembled to congratulate him, Mr, Dallas-assnred them “on bis honor” that “Mr, Polk was.as good no tartit man as Mr, Clay,” and, “holding his rlghtarm aloft,” says nn eye-witness, ho added “ May myright arm perish {f velce or vote of mine shall aid in changing tho tarif€ whith has produced such beneficent results,” But that tariff of 18143,” says tho Lion, W, D. Kelloy, who was tha eye-witness of Dallas’ solemn pledgo, “ was repeated, and tho revenue tariff of 1840 was substituted for It; and whet ta more, Gcorge MM. Dallas gave the casting vote to pasa that bul and repeal the tarly." “Now, why did he do !t? proceeded Mr, Kolloy. ‘1 will tell you,” he continued: : Ho wns fn tho hande of the Democratic cau- ous, which iy made up of the Soltd South, und, to bortow a littia languugy from Emary Stdrra, bes ing a Democratic Vieo-Prealdentt, aud with that cunous at his buck, had ho dured to voto against it “he might," as Storrs sald in Philadelphia, “as woll bnve been in a bout of stouc, with oars of fron, sails of lead, tho wrath of God for n gale, and bell tho nearest port."

Mn, A, 0, Hesixna, 9 fow ulghts ago, re lated an “cloction incident" which took placo nourly twonty-five yoars ago in this city, At that {metho Seventh Ward embraced all that part of tho North Di@ston lying west of Clark or La Ballo stroot, and had been provlously Democratlo by a lurgo wujority, The ward bud beon muinly sottled in thesouthorn ond, and the yotors in that locality were goncrally of Irish birth, In the meautime Germans and Scandl- navians had moved into the more northern parts of tho ward, which extonded to North avenus, Tho poll had for many yenra been located at the engine-house near Wolls atroot bridge, but tho Hopublicans, on gaining contro}, located it at North avenuc.
