of names by lali past three o'clock. He sta
ted to me that he and his men voted in New
York, at the November election, in 1858, in
he arly all the wards, and that he saw most of
The Wing Committee in their rooms; he said he
would send me as many Of the old men, mean
Ing those that were on before as possible, whose
names on the list would be marked with a

Upon this left Miller and went in search
of Saunders and Thornton, and found them on
the sidewalk in froRt of the State House, and
asked them if they knew Glentworth OF New
York; to which they replied yes, informed
that he had in 1888 and 1889, and asked whe-
Their they could tunish me with some men for
the coming election in November.
They said yes, upon the same terms they had
furnished th' m TO GlentwoTth which was thir
ty dollars pei man. They then agreed to meet
me az the watch box at the corner of Chestnut
and Sixth streets, at seven O'Clock that evening
at which time they said thew would procure lot
which would consist, principally, of the men
they had sent on before, and the names Of all
such as were on before should be marked on
both III New York with the men in the spring
of 1889, at the election in April; that they
were frequently spoken to at the polls by citi-
zens in New York who knew them, and that

Loco FocOs from voting in New York.

New York. Badger said he wished he had
twenty Ave men from New York on here,

raised the money and paid them aftsr they came
back. Badger said he had a spy upon all his

of the most desperate, daring fellows in the
State, who could whip their weight in wild cats:

was the price Glentworth paid him in Noyem-
