To DE Edio, Of ThsE Tribune
SIR: deem it my duty 10 meet the Affected igno'
rance and disbelief in the truth of my statement made
in the Board on Monday night last, and, by impics-
ton. the charge of attempting to levy black mall con-
tanned in the card published by you yesterday over the
signature of Gideon j. Tucker, with few simple
statements of fact. While the name of Mr.. Tucker was
bsfore the Board of Aldermen for confirmation as Presi
dent of the Croton Board, VIM. N. Mcintyre, formerly
of TIE Daav Neps, but now one OF the Bonded
Warehouse contractors, in company WIN Dr' du'ssr,
brother Of the nominee, met me in the farK. mr. NC
Intyre called me aside and told me that certain sum
of money had been placed in his hands 10 use, and ne
would give me 81 500 for my vote ana inhuenre III
favor of Mr.. Gideon j. fuckers confirmation. 1 re-
pled "Mr. Mcintyre, money is mandy thing 10 laye
in the house but have been, going on hVe years, III

then separated and subsequently Mr. Mcintyre caiied
upon me twice three times atmy residence ana sew
era times in the City Hall, on one occason calling me
out of the Chamber of the Board OF Aldermen, and
renewed his offer of money. On every occasion, aier
the first he offered so 900 for my VOTE but invariably
told him that i would not accept his money on any
consideration. Mr.. Gideon j. Tucker himself called
honse, and offered 10 dielus the pdbfouao
of the office between the Mozart Democrats and the
Republicans of the Board if he could get the Repu6-
can votes to copfrm him. l told nm thaI II

a share of the patronage OF the Depar-
msnt for my Republican friends; but l never
told him would vote for him, nor that would not
but that / would be governed BY the action OF the
Republicans in caucus-although, when he was hrs1
nominated / did feel fayorably towards hin, as he
told me Mr. Wood did not want really TO have nun
coniiIaed, and DR.. Tucker and Mr.. Mcintyre made
smiiau statements az TO the Mayor, to influence my
action. DIR. Tucker, the brother oil the nominee,
also caled upon me twice al my house, and several
times in the hall, offering the same consdeIatons as
his brother for the Republican support. told him IL
we did confirm biz brother we should expect TO
get our share Of the Offices But did not agree 70
the proportions. The Mayor also offered TO reinstate
my brotheT.in.aw in the iire-teegraph Office from
which he had removed him. Mcintyre said he would
give him place in the Custom House on the 10th OF
January arfd Mr.. Tucker said he would give him
berth IN the Croton Department for my vote; but i
refused all their Offers and did not vote for Mr. Iucker.
