ceeding thirtyEv forty, in the whole, went on
to New York, previous to the election OF 1898.
I'd. That their object was to prevent individuals
f-trom Philadelphia giving illegal votes
I'D 1 hat this object notorious, opehly spn-
ken Of, published in the newspaper, OF the day, and
known by men Of all parties.
4th. That the ind yiduals-Andrcw McClain and
others-who went on, were selected because they
| had general acquaintance with the voters Of the
city and county of Philadelphia we're therefore.
well known, and would be Immediately recognized
and detected if they attempted to vote.
OH. That they were never asked to vote never
contemplated voting and lastly, that il is conclu-
siye-
9th. That they neither attempted 10 uoie. nor
dtd actually rote al The election.
And this is the result of the mighty effort of
MesSr'. Butler, lloyt, and Others; 10 effect which
MI. Butler was willing To promise the Consllshp

the individual whom he was cndcayoriug to scducc,
to place upon himself the stamp Of fslsehood, cor

suggest caution in forming judgment ill the whole
matter Is Investigated. We lhink it is not unlikely
that he story has grown OFT Of the fact, publicly
known at the Tune, that the Whigs Of New York in
1850 applied for persons to come on from this city
ana other places, that they might recognise and
challenge imported voters, if offered by the other
side' which they supposed would be done. We be-
