The REAL PAPERs.-The Recordet has al
length plucked up sufficient courage to consum-
mate the outrage committed by the Mayor and
himself in the seizure, without warrant and au-
thOrity, of some of Mr.. Glentworth's private pa
pers, by violating the seals and causing them ts
be read ana published. The papers themselves,
respecting which the public have been kept up
on the qlti Uiue for several days past, really
as we expected, of very little Importance-oi
none at all indeed to the public. They not on
ly prove nothing against the Wings as party,
but there is not line or word incupating either
of the gentl emen in New York or Philadelphia,
whose destruction has been so industriously
sought.
The papers consist Of some half dozen letters;
memoranda of the names of various individuals
residents both of New York and Philadelphia;
of various small sums of money paid and re-
ceived, but for what purpose, with few excep-
tons, does not appear; and few other memo
randa, of no sort of consequence to any one.
Among the letters is what appears to be the
draft of one, written, as is supposed, by Client
worth, some time last winter, when runors were
rife that the Governor contemplating his re-
moval from office. 1t is not signed, and is ad
dressed to nobody. In this letter illusions are
made to the arrangements which preceded his
appointment, and the writer insists strongly up
on his claims upon the Wing party. The ar
Engagements referred to we know all about. They
to wit, tkat Glenworth should receive the Gov
ernor's nomination. that Stevenson should pro-
cure his confirmation by the Van Buren, Senators,
and that Glentworth should rent from him the
tobacco warehouses.
Then follows letter to the Governor, from G. S.
ID. demonstrating againt the proposed removal oil
Gletworth, followed by note to the same pur-
port from Dudley Selden.
There is also handsome letter of thanks tc
the Wings of New York, from Wing committee
of Philadelphia, for the kind treatment they had
received when visiting New York, at the cleo
ton of 1884, to prevent illegal voting by Phila-
delphians in favor of Tammany Hall.
There IS also note from j. w. Edmonds to
Glenworth, proposing and urging an interview
at his (Edmondson's) house, on late Sunday
(while the conspiracy was brewing.I Also, a
sort of half-sympathising letter from Stevenson
to Glenworth, dated October II, lS4O.
Sch is the ridiculous abortion OF this noun
tain labor!
The Richmond Inquirer, foil wing the lead
of the Administration papers nearer home,
sets I'D shout Of horror at the magnitude oil
the sums alleged to have been expended by the
Wings in 1888, for bringing men from Phlladel-
phia TO watch the polls Fiity-thousand dol
lars is mentioned-let us look into this matter
The receipts fogad among the Glentwortf
papers, if genuine, may be assumed, we sup
pose, as giving the true amount. From these
it appears that Glcntworth paid, in 1888, tc
James Young, 1868, and TO Robert Miller,
$3.50; making in all $l428.
Now it is perfectly well known that the
managers of Tammany Hall have for many
years paid their elechoaeerers $Is per diem
this for three days service, makes $50 pei
man, which seems to be the usual rate of pay
for election services bSThe men employed by
Glentworth for the Wings, demanded this usual
rate-out Of which, be it observed, they hac
their expenses to pay. Divide .$l42s by 30
andw have AZ as the number OF men employ
ed
But some portion of the $l42s was doubles:
paid to Young, Miller, Strine, and the othel
intermediate agents. Allow $22s for them
and we have $1,000 left, which, divided by 80
gives 40 as the number of men brought on tt
watch the polls-agreeing precisely with the
statement OF Miller, &c.-instead OF the looS
OF 1900 men assumed by the Richmond Enqui
