upon their ticket who are connected
with dishonest practices tt scratch such
at the polls, as it will be a hundred
fold better that such be defeated, than
that the Democracy endorse their vil

kind of advice. The New \ork de

(ivinocrats. This fraudulent ticket
was printed near as possible in imitation
of the democratic ticket, but bad the dem

this attempt to deceive, early in the morn
ing; the '"cheats' r wcro promptly put out
of the way, and a radical scheme foiled at
our poll. No doubt this trick was attempt
ed all over the state and may account for
the radical majority. Such attempts to
deceive voters can only emanate from men
who have debased themselves to a level
with the negroos, and the law is severe
upon such dishonest practice*.

lludlenl Convent ion.
*
It is so popular with Radical pa
pors and speaker* to give account* of
riotous manifestations in How YorW
and charge them as fair speciutcus of
Democracy, that we call the following
account from tho New York Herald
of the opening scene at their State
convention at Syracuse on the 27th
U It. It will serve to close the mouths
of those who nre so fond of abusing
the Democratic party, especially the
Irish portion of it. 'i'he struggle was
between the Conkling-Murphy wing
on one tide, tho Ffinton-Greeley on
the other. The scene opens at Svra
cuso:
'"The town was fairly wild with ox
citcmcut all night. At the close of
the serenades it was rumored that an
attempt was being uiude by the Mur
phy crowd to secure the band and giv*
a couuter serenade to Conkling. On
Greeleyitos, heariug of this, engaged
tho baud far tho entire night, aud
opened a midnight concert in Hank
Smith's room. Campagno flowed like
water, and after some hours spent in
carousing, the baud, triumphantly
{touring forth {taeatis of victory, was
inarched through the halls of the \ un
derbill to the inteuse annoyance and
disgust of all peaceable people.
Gangs of New York roughs came into
town during the night aud early this
morning, aud it was evident that there
would be serious trouble, if uot actual
bloodshed. At the time named foi
opening the halt this morning the
crowd "docked thither and stormed at
the doors for admission. It was re
ported that the room was to be packed
in the Murphy interest. There wer*
uo policemen ou guard, and, at out
time, while the door was held |iartU
•pen to admit a member of the pre**
the crowd grabbed it aud pulled it
wide open.
A rush was made, but the gang ol
roughs who stood on the inside were
as spunky as the gaug outside. There
was crushing, shouting, swearing and
wild surging to and fro. Presently a
I -tool was seen in the baud of one ol
the follows inside, and then a caue
with a loaded head. Both of these
were used as weapons and smashed
dowu on the skulls of the meu outside;
then an oruatueuul iron back form ofl
the orchestra chairs was seen being
freelev brandished in a similar man
ner. Immediately thereafter several
revolvers were drawn, and flourished
by parties iu the crowd out outside,
while thoee inside tore the loose furni
ture apart and stood readv with legs
of tables aud chain to club the intru
ders. -Put down those pistols"—
"Don't shoot, don't shoot" —"Kill the
t of a , kill him"—"Blow his
brains out" —"Open the door" — 4 *N'o|
a damned one of you will get in
—"You'll all get in, and ejaculations
more expressive than elegant were in
dulged in, uutil the place seemed
worse than Bedlam. By this time the
police arrived, and, taking charge ol
the door, couipartive quiet was restor
ed, but not until Detective Benuet, ol
New York, had wormed himself into
tbe crowd and grabbed a couple ot
the revolvers which were being flour
ished overhead. Those having tickets
were then admitted, and a short
time the room and galleries were
crowded, while a number of the roughs
filled the back of the platform and
seemed prepared to help along the
scrimmage that might be commenced.
After repeatedly requesting all parties
not members of the press to retire
from the platform, Mr. A. B. Cornell,
Chairman, ordered the police officers
to clear the stage."
Here we'll close the disgraceful ac
count. Enough has been given to
show up that convention. The upshot
of this omnium gatherum was, that
the Conklin Murphy wing carried the
convention, and the Fenton-Greeley
wing bolted k with a defiant strut,
threatened terrible things with the
the bravado of a Bombastes Furioso,
slept on it as well as their fevered
brain would permit, aud wheeled
arouud into column to support the
ticket "they bad bolted from. The
whole transaction is a Radical picture
true to life.
Republican Responsibility for New
York Frauds.
The corruption which has for many
years prevailed in the municipal gov
i crnment of New York says the World,
is handled with great, but undue, elec
tioneering effect by the Republican
presses and orators in all parts of the
country. Nothing could seem more
plausible on & superficial view, or is so
fallacious in the light of facts. Peo
ple in other States, who have no exact
knowledge of our domestic history or
legislation, are easily deceived when
asked to look at the two broad facts
that New York City has been for
years the chief stronghold of the Dem
ocratic party, and that its municipal
government has been for years scan
dalously corrupt. But when the Dem
ocratic party is held responsible for
the corruption, tho most important
Birt of the situation is left out of view
uring these twelve or fifteen rears of
flagrant abuses, New York has not
been self-governed by its Democratic
voters, but has groaned under an odi
ous outside government imposed upon
it by a Republican Legislature at Al
bay* The people of the city have had
no liberty; they have been bound in
galling Albany fetters; all thisscand
ulous corruption is the direct fruit ol
arrogant and tyrannical Republican
legislation.
Fifteen years ago, in the Prestden
tial election of 1856, the newly formed
Republican party carried this State
high-aud-dry for Fremont, and re
tained its ascendancy in the Legisla
ture until last year. But while the
State was republican, the city hae been
•nvincibly Deomcratic. If the muni
cipality had not been a place of prodi
gious wealth and great necessary ex
penditure, the Republican Ligislature
would have permitted it to retain the
same rigot of self-government as other
localities. But the large sum* which
pass through tbe treasury of this vast
and growing city, were too strong a
temptation lor Republican cupidity.
The Republicans could not endure
that this money should be disbursed
under Democratic direction. They
sere unwil.ing that the numerous city
offices should be filled by Democrats.
They accordingly p<*vcrted the pow
ers of legislation to impose on the city
an extraneous government of their
own creation. They thereby enabled
Republicans to exercise authority here
where the Democratic party has long
oecn in a majority of three to one.
The corruption which afflicta abd dis
graces tho city grew, grew up under
this outside Albany domination, a
irainst which Democrats have always
protested. It ia absurd to charge the
Democratic party with a state ot
tbiufrs which was impoeed upou them
by outside Republican domination tn

the catalogue of fraud* those which
originated in that ltonrd, ami nothing
very startling remains. But the
Board of Supervisor* was a Republi
can creation. By a cunning contri
vance half of it was given to the Re
publicans, although uo Republican
could have been elected to it in this
IViuocratic city. It was mads to con
sul of twelve member*, but uo elector
was permitted to vote for more than
six. The couscquence was that the
Democratic ticket of six names, and
the Republican lieket cousisted also of
six. Ihe six Democrats were elected,,
and the Mayor wj* compelled by law
to ap|wint the six. Republicans, thus
giving the Republicans oue half of
the Board. This equal division shield
ed its transactions against party criti
cism and exposure, and removed one
of the chief restraints upon corruption.
But when the lirst half-and-half Board
bad been elected, a Republican Legis
lature took a still more effectual step
for protecting it in the jwrjwiralion of
frauds. A law was passed for dividiur
the elected members and the appoiuted,
members into six classes each, and ex
tending their terms of office to six.
years. Oue of tho elected members
and one of the oppoiuted in# in be rs were
to go out ench year, leaving always in
office five-sixths of trained and veteran
eorruptiouists who could not be reach
ed by the people or held to any re
sponsibility in the elections. It was
tiil so organized as to free it from all
party responsibility ; and tbeu its or
ganization was so chauged as to free
it from all responsibility to the people*
bv the great length of the terms of
office. The grasp of the Board upon]
public plundci was still farther
strengthened by another act of the
Republican Legislature providing that
when a vacancy occurred iu the Board, i
the place should be filled by tba ap
pointment of a new member by thej
Board itself, which was thus made a|
close corporation for filling vacan
cies That cuuuiug and curious in-'
vent ion of a Republican Legislature j
has been the chief fountain of muni-;
cipal corruption. lugcraoU'* accounts,
Garvey's accounts, Keyaer's accounts, i
and all the rest which have caused to
much scaudal aud excitement, werej
the ripened fruit of that rotten Board j
of Supervisors, imposed upon the city
by a Republican Legislature.
Corruption has uot reached sueb gi
gautic proportions uuder the present
charter, olthough the charter was
modelled after the argauisation of the
Board of Supervisors in one of its
worst features, that is, in protecting
officer* against any proper responsibil
ity to the people by giving them long
terms, and making the city govern
ment a sort of close corporation. This
bad charter could uever btve been
passed without Republican voles. It
had the nearly unanimous support of
the Republicans iu both brauches of tbe
Legislature, although iu undisguised
object was to continue and intrench
the Tammany riug in power. There
was a vigorous Democratic opposition
to its passage, and it would have been,
defeated if the Republicans of the
Legislature had uot come in s solid
body to its rescue. For whatever
evils and mischiefs it has wrought, thei
Republican party is clearly reaponsi
ble.
While it is thus historically true
that tho Republican party bas caused
the tnuuicipal corruption at the expo
sure of which the community stands
agast, every effective blow against it
has beeu struck by Democratic hands.
The Democratic State Convention,
which meets at Rochester to-dsy, will

soon reached the "Big Woods," a hun

On and on with remarkable speed came
the gaining procession. It leaped the riv

ftiry. j
A great deal of tuffering ha* occurred
among the people since Monday night who
were
Obliged to camp out
u A the prairie- Quite a kauWr uf death*
have resulted from exposure. The Keli.-f
CowimtUc* ha* imprested all kind* ef ve-,
hie las to carry water and provUions to
them, and are bringing them into the
churches and *chocl house* on the wet end
south itda*
Immense quantities of provision* have'
arrived, many car load* being cooked and
ready for distribution. The Committee
have telegraphed to several place* to stop,
sending more at present. Twenty car
loads of provision* and tea thousand blan
kets cam* from Cincinnati, and larenty
cor* from Hi. Louis. Large quantities of
provisions hsva arrived from other cities.
Alt th* railroads leading out of Chicago

Th* euti a( a human ghoul
Una among the thousand rumor* that
ytrt fl/iAC thickljr about, and the wildest
it Would seem it uiul be, waa of the auddott
ttfi|Mtic* thai befel a bold thief. Seeing
(he cashier of one of the banks ru*h into hi*
office aa the flames were bearing aim oat
upon the building, be watched hi* eait. It
waa not long before the official appeared
with hie arm* full of money package* and
bond*, and no aooner had he appeared than
the theif pro t re ted him with a blow upon
lb* aide of the head, and grabbed a portion
of the treasure • A policeman in an instant
saw what waa done and grabbed the vil
lien, who drew a p*t<ti and shot the faith
ful officer through the heart, and then
•prang through the eacited erodd brand
ishing hit pistol and endeavoring to make
good hit escape. But the tight, with all
lha surrounding circumstance*, had mad
dened the bystander* to frenty. and they
pall upon the wretch like en many tiger*,
tearing him limb from limb, and literally
disemboweling him
All we heard was,
'lt (I terrible—horrible.'
Now w rushed along, sad the next mo
ment were bonis with ths crowd, or driven
by ths flames and smoke away hack The
scene i* beyond dlsoription. Burning em
bers Ailed the sky, and were falling thick
nnd fast a* flakes in a snow storm. Every
wksre group* of men were collected,
speech leas, and viewing the spectacle a*
though fascinated. When one started
from bis rsvsris and darted off, the other*
would also regain their senses, and with
the words, 'Oh, ain't this terribler move
along. The streets wore piled with ftirni
lure, which, being placed in the course of
the wind, was soon n burning mass.
Along Randolph street the clothing
merchants threw open their warehouses
and bnde all who wished help themselves.
The Arm of Scott A Co., shoe merchants,
removed lb*ir stock to the park for all to
take who wished. In the morning there
was not a shoe left. Returning to my
bona with the friend who a few moments
before had predicted his own ruin. I saw
a spectacle which I shall never forget.
Children were rushing about crying for
their parents, and strong men were bowed
in tears, standing
Listless iu tbe shower of fire.
Around ths Catholic Church of St
Michael a large crowd were huddled
among the frirniture, We halted onWhe
corner, and while I was removing a brand
from my (Hand's hat I saw the church take
flra. la lest time than It take* to tell you
this, tbe whole edifice was wblase. The
Historical Building has considerad Are
proof, and a number ofper*on had crowd
ed into it for safety. It went like a wood
en shanty, and all who were in It perished.
When the Tribune office took Are its press
ee were running. They have been saved.
Reaching'boiuo I found my family afe,
and the house* in the neighborhood crowd
ed with poor people.
Dineolu |*rk waa crowded *
during tbe day gud night by those unable
to procure shelter. Tho cries of children
for bread were heart-ronding. Of the
reports that some went craay 1 have no
doubt. It was terrible, horrible. One
gentleman, Mr. A. B. Smith, on Hadurday
night wa* worth s*oo,ooo. To-day he it
not worth SBOO.
Among the tad arena* of the calamity
wa* tho appearance ot men and boy* beast
ly intoxicated around the stroct* of the
Nurtb Division, where saloon keeper*'
stock* of liquor* were turned into the
street, and furnished a convenient oppor
tunity for tbe gratlfleation of their slavish
propentitiaa, and thoie can hardly be any
doubt that many f theso poor wretches
found their death in the flames, for they
were too helple** to etcape. One poor
man figd crowded fcr refuge into the wa
ter main, lying In the straet near the water
work*, but lha flame* found him even
there before he coald gat hie body wholly
in safety.

The horse* took fright ami run nw*y
Thompson caught two of the Lome,
but instead of reluming to the wagon
he travelled in uuother direction.
Meat) lituc tho murder had boou dis
covered by travellers along die road i
the alarm was given, and a general
search for the perpetrator* instituted,
but without avail.
On Tuesday last Thumps- n ayriTcd
at tho residence of one St. Geone,
about ten mile* south of lhi city, lie
was from Frankfort, Mo., mtd was
looking out a location for a saloon.
Bt. George had hia auspicious aroused,
and iusiatod ou hia remaining a day or

'"I aid not kill Kripjien! no, I'll lie

| arretted for the murder." This waa
repeated several times during the'
night.
ihe next tuoruiug Thotupaou re
marked thai he did not rest well; that
<he never could sleep well away from
home, and (hen inquired of 8l Georga
if he had talked any in bis sleep, say
ling that when he was resile** be some
utuu did talk iu his sleep. Bt.j
George told him he did hear him mut
ter something about the purchase of a
load of of corn, or eometheing to that'
effect. The next night the word* were
repented. Next morning St. Gorg©
called on Mr. Dawson 8. Amlenwu,
and related what he had seen aud
heard. Anderaon waa cocvoraaut.

Krippin, aud knew Thompson to be *i
fugitive from justice. It was agree i
between tho two to induce Thompson
to go to Hannibal, and there have hltnj
arre#ted. They camo here on Friday,
last, and on Saturday a warrant was is
sued on the affidavit of Audetwon, and
Thompson was locked up to await the
iarrival of the tshorifT of Washington
county. There was a reward of $1,400
offered for the cat pure of Thotup*ou,
which Anderson and St- George will

A vagrant wan nt rested in Louden,
and the story of his life is ao extraor
dinary that it is n good lesson to lend
their ears and give their money to
sturdy beggars: He was asked to reply
to the following leading questions
first what had tuduoed him to adopt
vagrancy as a mode of livelihood; sec
ondly, how he supported himself in
his wanderings , thirdly, the goals iu
which he was incarcerated, with the
cause of such incarceration ;and, lastly,
the casual wards he visited, His re
ply to the first question is unpleasantly
candid : "I left my trade because I aoon
discovered that more could be got
without work than with it; what
knowledge I lacked was soon instilled
in uiy tuind by professional vagrants."
i With regard to the means he adopted
for his support, he states: " Now I
mean to make a clean breast of it.
11 will candidly dccJnrc that fhare
•tuck atnothing.'
** I have worked (but very littlo) at
my trade; I have beeu a cattle-drover ;
11 have been salesman with three dif-
Iferent cheap-Jacks ; I have been a
| pot hawker ; I have been a vender of
pens, paper, razors (Pctco Pindar's),
spectacles, laces, C"C., , I have hocus
distributor of rcligoua tracts. I have in
the employ (for two years together) of
mnnslaugiiteritig quack doctor*. I
have sold cards at all the principal
places in England. I also attended for
many years the principal prize-fight*.
I have been a 'shallow cove* (. c., a
member of the laud navv); also a
high-flyer' (♦. e., a begging-letter im
porter); a'lurker', one, who ha- forty
different trades end toaster'or none.
My favorite 'lurk' was butcher, tnllow
chandleror, currier; and, to crown nil
have been a preacher! This game
pays well in remote village streets on
Sunday evenings, provided you are
well Mocked with tracts. 1 must
also tell you, in short, I have been a
rogue, imposter nnd a vagabond of
each aud every denomination. I say
this because it is true, and because 1
am now heartily ashamed of it."
