THE ELECTION SwINDLE IN wEsT-
CHESTER.

To ne Editor Of The n. T. Tribune.
SIR: A friend has just called my attention to
"Card from the Hon. Wm IL. Robertson which
appeared in TIE TRIBUNE Of Saturday last, in rela-
ton TO the distribution Of the regular Wing State
tickets in the several towns in Wesichester County.
and also to your comments on the subject
While I most respectfully bat emphatcally deny
your right 10 question Committee of political
party You have often pronounced to be g dis
banded and " dead aud whose candidates you
have 30 often been instrumental in defeating will,
at the same time, cheerfuuy and willingly give fau
statement Of the facts connected with the matter as
not only an act of Justice to myself, but also as one
dine TO every true and honest-heartei Wing in the
County Of Westchester.
The Wing County Committee consists OF
WV. c Howe. Of o..inics,
John Mann Of Gfeenbursh;
John g. Bates. Of Bedford .nd
Samuel c. Merritt, % North Caste
As Chairman of the above named Committee, and
as the Editor of Wing journal, l caused to be
printed at this office over 90 900 regular Wing State
tckets-had them put up in packages for each town
in the county and properly labeled with the names
of the towns TO which they were to be sent.
The packages for the towns in the First Assembly
District except those for the town Of Osning, were
taken from this office by John S. Bates, Esq men,
Der Of the Wing County Committee and Wm. Dur
rim, Esq.,, prominent Wing of Peekskill, and who
held an important Office at Albany last winter under
the auspices of the Hon. Myron II. Clark, the Gov
ernor elect, and other Wing Senators. The tickets
for the town of 0ssining took charge OF personally,
and the result of the election in that town Is the only
proof presume, that is needed TO convince the most
skeptca that they were used with effect against the
combined opposition of open foes and the secret
treachery of pretended friends. understand that on
the morning of the election part OF the tickets tor
the town Of Bedford placed in the hsnds of our
Wing Senator Robertson whose long aud well known
attachment TO the Wing cause Is asutiiceh' guaranty
that none other than the regular Wing state Ticket
found favor or encouragement from him.
The tickets for the town of Somers, as am in
formed and believe, we're placed In charge OF IN.
l.. iced, Esq, another member of the Wing County
Committee The packages for the towns in the lid
Assembly District we're placed in the hands of John
c. Ferguson Esq, the regular Wing candidate for
Member of Assembly. and OF Lemon b: TrlPp Esq,
the regular Wing candidate for County Treasurer
| presume that Messrs. Bates Durrin Trip. and
Ferguson can ana trust they t-H give true, faith
u and satisfactory account of the tickets they took
for distribution from the office Of The Hudson Rirsr
Chronicle.
In connection with the above, allow me 10 state
that there are rumors aAoat ard which, as believe,
are well founded TO the effect tina. certain persons,
together with two journals which sometimes profess
10 act with the Wig party in their zeal for the right
eous cause Of Temperance, 20 far forgot what was
due TO truth and Justice TO circulate the false re-
pcrt that Daniel Hunt Esq., the regular and popular
Nbjr candidate for Member Of Assembly in the First
District who is also practical temperance man
had from the canvass and that at some OF
the polls the Hunt tickets were entirely suppressed,
by which means that gentlsnans majority Was re,
duced 10 al votes, when, IN fact, II iar play ana
con mon honesty had been observed. bis majority, IN
ali probability would have reached 10 over 900
Trust Sir that YOU will fol0~ up this business

posed; and also trust that each OF US VIII nave tue

Mr.. Howe labors harder than Z necessary TO render
himself an object Of suspicion with regard to the
treaeberies perpetraied in Westehesier County
among others at the late Election His fasehood
that we have often been instrumental in defeating
the candidates of the Wing party is like himself OF
DO sort Of consequence. We don think he was ever
instrumental in defeating the candidates Of the Wing
or spy other party even though be did participate IN
the Silver Gray bolt from the Wing State Convention
