TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
pretended revelation made by Daniel E. sickIes at
the democratic meeting Saturday evening" renders it
necessary that should ask you publish the following
statement of facts:-
1t believed that many wings in this city, hostile to
Gen Scott and Gov Seward disposed to for the
democratic electoral and State tickets whose support of
local nominations could not be expected 1t Is known
that the temperance have made national State
nominations, but have made Independent ticket for
county officers " is known that the City Re form League
formed ticket by selection from the Others 1t is
known that in many districts several democratic cand
dates are running for Assembly Assistant Aldermen &c
while in respect to the electoral ticket there is div
son any open one in respect to the State ticket
number OF votes could be secured for Pierce and King
and perhaps for the State ticket also by Furnishing these
classes with ballots sent to their residences For that
purpose the very great labor undertaken of sending
nearly possible to every ecor in the city of what
politics. the democratic national and the State tic
kets enclosed in circular assang no prejudice par
taty In local questions but leaving each eecor to take
such in respect to the local candidates he might
choose This measure engaged in by me- with the
appreciation Of many leading democrats who appreciated
the benefits which had former occasion resulted from
q similar expedent; and among others by the two who
had signed the suboned circular 1t has been carried
out by the voluntary efforts Of individuals 1t Is in ad
dition to the usn method and means of circulating all
the tickets o ther under the direction of the General
and Ward ConimNtees 1t in manner iuterfsres with
their acsen supersedes nc other method Of distribu
ton 1t merely ADDS so much to the facilities Of the
classes specified above to vote the democratic national
and State tickets What possible objection any man,
really in favor Of eectng these tickets, have to the
measure?
10 show the entire fairness with which this measure
confined to this object 1t Is sufficient TO say that all
the local candidates including those in whose election
is well known have taken and now take the strongest
personal interest treated eke simply from The
that part of the local ticket could be included
consistently with the object which has been already
stated of securing w and other votes for the national
and State tickets
special necessity for some such measure to protect
the national ard State tickets from being sacrificed in
the scramble for the lucrative local offices created
by the nattenon to this object of the clique who
unfortunately control majority OF the General Commit
tee Intent only making themeeves conspicuous as
officers Of meetings, securing nominations for them
selves Messrs sickles Sche Co., have not only sacr
the interests of the national and State ticket have
net only parayzed the General Committee, but seemed
insaney jealous Of any outside effort to repair the mis-
chief by getting additional votes for those tickets By
usurppr for the General Committee bare majority Of
which they CONTROL the appointment of every inspector
ct the democratic primary meetings and selecting in
many instances unscrupuous tools, who nooriousy
cevedand rejected votes solely with reference to carrying
their ticket they did succeed in difapchsug almost
the whole party in many Of the wards and Of representing
in some of the nominating conventions, only q small
clique who have been opposed to the reunion of the
democratic party and have amoft every year worked
extent their selfish objects ought they not to be
satisfied? is II not enough that they have hung them
selves tie skirts Of the National and State tickets
and 10 such excellent nominations that of Jacob A.
westervet and compelled the party to overlook wrongs
which at any other time would bring about defea
II not It they unwilling that any outside
effort should be made for the national and State tickets
where 1t Il made without the least prejudice to any
of the local that the votes OF anti
Scott and anti Seward wings, Of temperance Of city
reform Of any Of the numerous individuals who
may not vote for local candidates should be secured
| to Pierce and King or to Seymour and Church
Of the assertions by which Mr. Sickles attempted to
get possession Of the circulars Of the violence at the
ton Of them It is unnecessary for me to speak Th,
statement and the circular and ticket which suboin,
will show how false all the pretences under which he
sought to convert his conduct into meHorious party
service.
win not believe that Mr. sickles and his clique intend
to deprive electors of opportunity TO vote for the
democratic electors and State candidates; but hope
they will take measures to supply the place of those bal
lots which they took from the Post office, and hope
every eector who receives such through them will com
pare them with those suboin and especially see that
