The evidence which we published yesterday, de-

Of the impudent, arrogant, superci!ous Wall street

toaished. 1t is notkisg than what expected.
Since the fall OF the year 1897 when the revolution
gave the Wings in this State majority Of 2, 00O
votes the honest portion Of that party has been in
the hands, and under the control, Of two three
Of the most unprncipled lotteries Of stock brokers,
spectators, and Office seekers in Wall street, that
ever disgraced any country. This has been the
Of the defeat Of the Wings in this city since
lS37-and would be the of the defeat Of Gene
raj Harrison next month, if his popularity, eharac
ter, and fate, were not in the hands Of the honest
yeomanry of the country-and not in the corrupt
hands Of the Wall street eliques. For further de-
veiopments in this most extraordinary system Of
fraud, we refer readers TO the additional evil
aenee published to-day, which Is even more curious
and surprising than what we gave yesterday.
Can there be any doubt about the truth Of these
Aiiegations'
We do not loop which TO hang a doubt
in the choice Of facts developed. The clear and
pnvarnnhed tale Of Stevenson is corroborated in
every point, and in every fact, by Gientworth, Ha-
vens, Swzrtwout, MeArdle, Wetmore, Blatchfcrd,
and all those who the known leaders, par ercei-
ltnes OF this all street Clique OF politicians The
position OF Mr.. Gentworth is lamentable. He has
been known amiable, unoffendng, harmless
man, and no doubt he has been made the Instrument
of this clique, TO subserve their purposes and
to aid their own schemes TO power and emolument
by securing the future distribution Of the Offices in

pressing upon their shoulders For three years past
this identical clique in Wall street has been the
principal recipients Of all the ,ssy contributed for
political uses. They held the purse strings, and
used such ehary men as Mr.. Glcntworth to do their
dirty work. BY the possession Of these funds, they
also held the eo1tro all the Wall street press.
