EX-yUDGE OCONNOR AND JOHN KELLY.

To he Editor Of TIE n T. T,brne.
SIR In your issue of the 9th inst. there appeared
an article by a writer signing himself " r. andrepre-
sentng himself citizen of the Fourteenth Ward.
In the course of his communication he says that he has
not for long time had the pleasure Of with
either ex-Judge OConnor or the Hon. Joan Kelly,
yet he asserts that DR.. Boese at the balot-box,
deemed bis pledge TO Mr. COnnor. As the citizens
Of the Fourteenth Ward know to the contrary, this
fasehood is not thus easily established.
II is not reasonable to suppose that Mr. Is. dare to
vote aganst the will OF Twist John, his MASTER and
such barefaced falsehood should not be permitted to
pass silently, without rebuke DO those who
give currency To their reports imagine that the adopt
ed citizens cannot through their tricks, aud under
stand that they only attempted for the purpose OF
catching votes
Now, Sir, |, a. a citizen aud resident for twenty
years Of the Fourteenth Ward assert that the citizens
of that locality know perfectly well that Mr.. Boese i
one Of Twist Johns bottehoders, and it is two much
10 ak them Ia believe that he would dare 10 vote for
OConnor. The tricks of Kelly Il Co., played out
they have had their day.
"R" asserts that a. Mr.. Kelly saw the mantle Of
the regular nomination, descending on the shoulders
of Mr.. Boese be favored and assisted the nomination.
Very good Mr.. "R. but Mr. Kelly well knew Mr.. Is.
could never be elected in that District, for reasons
pointed out in The TRIBUNE of the I'D inst, and ne
only acted the part of the Artful Dodger, or Tricky
Tim. Now viii r. please to inform US how long
Twist John has been in favor Of regular nominations
We find BIN in 1913 and 1870, stumpng il for Asses
sor; and then again in 1882 he and DIR. Sands try
stumping for Aldermen against the regular nomlna-
tons james Bard and Thomas Wheelan. Being again
defeated he Joins the Reformers," in the same year
and wins against the Democratic nominations. Again
in le5i We find ] wist Johp stump.ng il for Congress
against the regular Democratic nominee, Mike Waisn,
and he again wins. Previously, however, when de-
md. Nur fha " aff fha ma nv
election held in Grand street in November 1882, John
took Oh his coat, rolled up his sleeves, aud invited
AID. james Barr to sidewalk fist light to decide who
should have the ballot but VI Il declined and finally
gave the balotbox for safe keeping into the hands oi
Sergeant Phil. q Brien.
Since the time John Joined the Refomer- in his sweep
against the regular nominee for Congress, We ma %
cultiyaiing taste for regular nominations. lie bas
gone far in his zeal a. to 20 TO the pnohc
stores and gag the poor abOrers there, To prevent
their support Vi their Old friends who were running iof
Cicers oi the ward in 1876, telling themthet any man
who dared to vote against the regular nominations
would be cut off from the benefit OF Uncle Sans
Treasury.
So We gee that John has twisted every way and 70
pretty well twisted out by this time, and hIs cabinet
-houd take care lest when he fall. they all hout per-
ish with him. If - r.. would Ike 10 see the names
Of the present cabinet who all sound on the goose,
