So with this testimony. the Recorder

Ss.Irable to bring from Philadelphia and

rioters from that city, who il was appre-
I.jed were TO be introduced by the opposite

Srvciioas under which Glcniworth was TO
| and by which he was restricted express
tum making any arrangement which should
yond "a general supervision Of the polls
tie purpose of detecting and preventing
rsl voting"
Ttis letter was addressed TO him after he
y zone 10 Philadelphia, and was called forth
ls,,en written by him, which would seem
|hsp induced the apprehension that he was
1mse to such an arrangement.
vs. nothing and believes
said 10 have ieun given
orth, at the alleged meet
sha Of $1,000 or $4,000, each
Caafe of Philadelphia, and gen.
bag uea,ea mat he knows or knew OF any

y, for any purpose other than that ofwatch-
! the polls To detect illegal votes from that
!. Mr., Whetmore denies, peremptorily,
knowledge Of the transaction, or OF any
citing at Blstchford's Office, or Dr1per's
use, at any time, with Glentworth.
How then stands the proof! J. ID. Steven
says that ]. b. Clentworth says that he,
was employed in 1899 by repu-
Ne men whom he names, 10 do grossly il
nj acs---which he performed. Now that
,imony, ofitself, would not stand minute,
i 10 the repetition hearsay of an unprinci-
a msn's admission and narration of his own
'cness and criminality. It's directly con-
iicted, moreover, by the gentlemen named,
general, and in the particulars, and as the
= testimony that can affect these gentlemen,
can connect Glentworth with the Wings, is
dvsd from this hearsay story told by Client
|uh 10 Stevenson, the positive contradiction
|reof by the parties named, standing as they
before this community, must be taken as
|npletely generating them and the Wing
|hy.
Then, ~ 70 the other details whom do they
(se,' Solely, in this city, the said ]. B.
|entworh. lfhs has tempered with police
tccFs. constables, or contractors,fo for voters,
even higher personages in Philadelphia, on
head be the shame and the punishment.
|lfillegal voters were introduced as alleged,
the Infamous procurer suffer all the venge-
De Of the law; and if by unimpeachable tes-
bo0y, others-in whatever station, here or
been aiding or abetting in
kh nefarious scheme, let them too suffer
pa we believe not that any respects ole
p or mon. Of the Wing party, are in any
y cencerned in such iniquity.
As to the introduction of persons from a.
bad to watch our polls, and proven, illegal
'ss from, being put in, we think it highly
and we know that ii was done
reference TO Elizabethtowu, Newark, and
ltsrson, at the election of iS3s-and that
only did respectable inhabitants Of those
Co.'S transmit to the Wing Committees lists
persons who, residing in New Jersey, were
,ut 10 attempt voting in New York, but sew
j of them voluntarily, and without compen-
ionl attended our polls to aid in detecting
1 exposing such illegally.
Believing, as Mr.. Blatchford swears he
!, and as was the general impression and
bic statements through the press at the
'e, that voters from Philadelphia were to be
'ught hero, Il was meritorious use OF mon
To defray the expenses hither of persons
N Philadelphia likely to know those who
ght come here on such an unlawful Grand
he agent employed in the business trans
nded his authority, and fell into the crime
ich il was desired to prevent, concerning
ich as yet we express no opinion,) let that
mt DO punished, as we have before said
IN all the vengeance Of the law.
y any rate,the position in which, by his de-
ning TO answer lest he might criminate him

Since the above was in type, we find in the
cr. and Eng. decisive affidavits from the par
sought to be incuipsied by the .oonspirators,
