City and County Of New York, ss.-Noah Cook,
forwarding msrchant q said city. being duly sworn,
called the Standard, psblshed il this city, in which
represented that this deponent and others were,
in the fall Of 1888 and spring Of 1899, engaged in
procuring and introducing into this city, persons
from Philadelphia and Albany, for the purpose OF
voting at the elections This, SO far as am con-
cerned, is untrue in all its parts and particulars;
neither do know any person belonging TO the wing
party who was engaged IN any such enterprise
During the fall Of 1888, was furnished with infer
mation from Newark, Paterson, New Brunswick,
and several other towns in New Jersey, from Pha-
delphia, Albany, and from several towns in Con-
ne cicut that arrangements lad been made and
msking by the locofoco party, to send large num-
Der of persons to this city for the purpose OF voting
the locofoco ticket This information in many cases
gave the names Of the Individuals ho were TO come
here TO vote in others the narns of the individuals
who were employing persons to come to the city
to vote, with the amounts paid to each individual

supervision of pers Of the lecofoco party named
to me, and that they were sending on large number
sf individuals, the names of some Of whom
given and which indiv RITUALS did, was informed,
and firmly believe, come on To the city, and that
OF them did vote the ocofoco ticket; and that
many would have done so but for the assures
taken by this deponent and others to prevent II.
And this deponent further saith, that after coming
into the possession of these facts, he advised and
aided in procuring individuals to come to this
city to be stationed at the different polls to detect
persons sent on TO vote the loco.ocO ticket. That
most OF these persons did, by appointment, meet this
deponent at Natiosal Hall, and were By him direct

Of these elections, although he informed at that
time, and believes that there illegal voting par

NOAH Cook.
Sworn this % dav of Oct 1870, before me,
w. BEEBE, Com. of Deeds.
So Noah Cook denies fatty, that he had any thing
to do with " old clothes This is difficult to be-
heve. 1t has been article in our creed that any
man, who has " " sah" TO his name, before or be-
hind, had always something do with " old clothes.
We eXonerate Cook from "layiug pipe in every
ward, butheis engaged in the. forwarding business,
and no doubt forwards his party much possible
The purity Of Noah, however, is beyond question
He is man of real sentiment, and nothing gricves
him much a 10 see frauds at elections. Hence his
great efforts to get in to preserve the purity of
the baot-box. Vine comes ext Master Client

AFFIDAVIT OF JAMES b. GLENTwoRrH.
New-York, ss-JaIaes b. Glentw ortb, Of the city
of New-York, being duly sworn, saith that within
the last thirty days, at different times and places in
the city OF New-Ysrk, he has been applied Ia by
Jonathan ID. Stevenson, Benjamin +. Butler, u. S.
District Attorney, Jesse Hoyt, Collector, and john
w. Edmonds, TO make statements that should i'm
plicae Governor Seward, and the leading friends
Of the Governor in NewYerk, in charge 81 hav ing

That few days ago, dcpoHent was iBdured BY
said Stevenson 10 go ts the hsuse Of said b r. But
Ter, and at the door If which Mr.. Edmonds joined
and we went together to the house OF said Jesse
Hoyt, Esq, which we entered and found Mr.. Hayt
at home. Presently we were joined by Mr.. Butler
for a few minutes nothing was said, when Mr..
Edmends remarked, ce had better proceed 10 ba-
siness."
Thcreupon Mr.. Butler said Mr. Stevenson had
the whig party, and if dcponent would come forward
and make the necessary proof great good would fol-
los from it-that deponent would thereby take
high stand that dsponent had been denounced BY
the wings as a locofeco and had nothing 20 expect
from that party-but he had everything to expect
from the other party-that deponeut would earn the
ts money, he would divide his last cent or crust
with deponent. Thereupon MIR. Hoyt said he would
do the same.
And deponent further saith. that the said Steven.
take stand against them, the wings, the party
Tine aning the administration party, would be under
such obligations To me that could have any Office,
or any money, aud especially that Mr.. Van Buren,
would do anything for NE, and that ! should have
the Office of Consul at Havre; that Mr. Brent .eho
has the Office, was oil, and could be put out as
he appointed by Gen Jackson; and that he,
Stevenson, wcnld 60 to Washington about il, hut
that was unnecessary, as Mr.. Butler ard Mr.. Ed
nouds who were the confidential friend. OF aIr Van
Buren,, could and would effect it,
I'm fey fa rat.

sand dollars, and Nr. Hoyt the same, towards pay
ing ccrtsin demand against me. That last Sunday
morning, MIR. kdnopas wrote a note TO deponent
qacstng deponent 20 call at Edmond's house, and
deporebt upon receiving the note, went re- when
Edmouds said, well, I understand YOU have con-
eladed not 60 be of any service u 10 which de-
punep, replied. that he had so determined. Where
upon, said EdmciSs then threatened dcponent that
deponent would be proseceted-and deponent fur
Their saith ,ha, Stevenson said to depcnent, that be
would compel the Governor 10 reappoint me TO The
office OF lnspector-thst he Stevenson, would meet
Mr. Grinnell, or MIR. Bowen, With me, and With
pair Of loaded pistols he, Stevenson, would compel
them Co pledge themselves 20 secure nv re appoint
ment 10 Office by the Governor.
And further, dcponsnt saith, that over and over
again oyerures oil money and Office have been made
to me, 20 implcafe the Governor and the leading
members ofthe Wing party in the city Of New York.
And the laid stevensos IA conversation with depo-
ponent, after depoDeni and he had left Mr.. Hoyt's
house on tie occasion above fsrred to, and were
walking down together, 'aid to deponent, that
Messrs. Butler Hoyt aad Edmonds, could not enter

with me 20 indaee me 10 GENE forward, and would
defeat the object But. said he, there is Mr. Butler
a Of as much purity Of character a. any man in
this country, and he Can do any thing with Mr. Van
