asked him when it would be best to have
a meeting with some Of those men, such
as Young and Miller, naming them, md
at the same time suggesting Ris,on's.
He said RistOn was not to be trusted,
that he was an incorporate, noisy fellow,
and that he could not consent TO meet
ing of anv Of his officers at his, Riston's
house. | then told him that ! under.
stood Glentworth to say, that be, Riston,
had on a former occasion cashed checks
for him, and he, Swift, was present at
Riston's house. with Miller and Young,
in November, 1888; TO which he said
yes, but it was dangerous, and had like
to have caused detection, notwithstand-
ing he, Swift, had been most cautious in
all his movements, to avoid being known
in the affair. On the next day, | went
about ten o'clock to the mayors Office,
where he introduced me TO Robert Mil
Ter. Miller and myself walked into the
Park, back ofthe State House, and Mil
Ter agreed to furnish me a list of names
by half past three o'clock. He stated
to me that he and his men voted in New
York, at the November election. IN 1888,
in nearly all the wards, and that he saw
most of the Wing committee in their
room; he said he would send me as ma
ny of the old men, meaning those that
were on before, as possible, whose names
on the list would be marked with a
cross, x.
Upon this left Miller, and went in
search of Saunders and Thornton, and
found them on the side walk, in front Of
the State House, and asked them if they
knew Glentworth of New York, TO which
they replied yes. informed them that
had come OIL the same business that he
had in 1888 and 1889, and asked wheth.
er they could furnish me with some men
for the coming election IN November.
They said yes, upon the same terms
they had furnished them to GlentwOrth,
which was thirty dollars per man. They
then agreed to meet me at the Matchbox,
at the corner Of Chestnut and Sixth sts.,
at seven o'clock that evening, at which
time they said they would furnish me
with list of the men they would pro-
cure, which should consist principally,
ofthe men they had sent on before, and
the names ofall such as were on before,
should be marked on that list with a
cross. They saId they we're both in
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 citizens in New York, who
knew them, and that the excuse they
gave for being there was, that they had
come on to prevent the Philadelphia Lo-
cofocos from voting in New York.
saw Saunders second time, at the
rooms of the County Commissioners. !
asked him if lie knew any of the Exccu-
tive Committee of New York. He said
he had seen them all that he was very
we'll acquainted with Noah Cook, who
aided in changing clothes of the persons
who voted Saunders said he had oper-
ated in the Eighth, Seventeenth, Fifth,
Second, Sixth, and Fourth wards, in the
city fNew York that he could not meet

ascertained from him that he had written

list. He said Looney was good fellow,
and could be depended upon; that he
| TLooney,1 had often furnished him, Bad,
ger, with mer.
That on one occasion he furnished
ITO men. Badger said that Charles
Swint could not be depended upon, that
he was Swiss, and had become pooI
sot, and advised that had better not see
either him or John Swint, as Charles
Swint nearly caused an exposure of the
whole affair before, in consequence Of his
not paving the men he took to New York
on that occasion; that he (Badger,) May
or Swift and others, had raised the mo-
ney and paid them after they came back
Badger said he had spy upon all h'S
men, and knew which of them did their
work we'll while in New York, and thai
his list should be composed OF sucn nieH
