TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
In your Of the 9th inst ! notice a communica
ton the signature OF Caroan o. Brien Bryant mich
contains an extraordinary Of misstatement He
says that the day OF the late election with others
needessy circulated reports TO justify treachery and
nakedness Of poor contemplate conspiracy
This statement pronounce unquahedy false in every
respect and now call upon him 10 show when, where
and how entered into conspiracy against him.
Let him state who my fellow conspirators what
the reports circulated by me- and TO whom made
the alleged statements Let him show in what respect
acted reacherously towards him. II these charges
true they certainly susceptible OF proof Let such
proof be forthcoming Otherwise Mr. Bryant must stand
convicted of deliberate and malignant mss,aement and
falsehood.
For the information of the public viii here state that
not member of the Tammany Hall Convention
which nominated Mr.. Bryant, and have never favored
such nomination. having at all times openly declared my
opposition to his election / have in
progressed friendship lot nm politically or otherwise
conversation with him in my life. How, then can be
accused Of having acted reacher0usly towards him.
and inconsistent as 1t may appear, he accuses
me Of treacery; but is as silent the grave
about those who shamefnlIy betrayed him. III
Mr.. Bryant was really bona ftte canddatet then
he must have known who the parties who cheated
city pockets the injury and insult without word OF
denuncaon against his bctrayers and pretends blame
me for his defeat though waS under obligation
support him in any event. If be was bona fde
candidate his conduct leads TO suspect, the ques
ton naturally arises was he prvy 10 the corrupt bar
gain which has been successfully carried in the
Fourth Senatorial district? l did state at Tammany
Hall that Of the wards had returned his money
To this statement he responds by saving that he wo
take exception, but that he does wish
der the impntaon Of stupidity. Then. moi true. why
did he not fatty deny s II is better TO rest under the
imputaon of stupidity than TO be suspected Of fnpev
He also states that was elected from Sixth ward.
would ask when that interesting event took place. u
is the rst time ever heard Of it, for the Assembly
in the Sixth and Third wards, and received larger
jory in the Sixth ward than any candidate had pre-
vonsly received for that office, Notwithstanding stump
candidate was running against me.
Mr. Bryant further complains that faceously alluded
TO his origin aud education Every body who attends
litica gatherings on the night OF election knows that
wide latitude IL allowed speakers such occasions,
and certainly no personal disrespect or insult was n
tended anybody by such harmless Jokes perpe-
trated by last Tuesday night know nothing Of
Mr. Byants education, but IL judge from the tenor
his letter. should say that he received its finishing
touches in well known classical locality the centre
OF the Sixth ward Mr. Bryant says that the main object
of his communication is to show the real OF the
opposition to him from myself and others who, he
claims entered into conspiracy for selling him in favor
OF Wood. This statement is unqualifcdy false. How
could sell him OUT was not Of his friends, and
have not even spoken TO Wood since his nomination, nor
have ! had conference conversation with any Of
Woods friends about his election l again call
upon Mr. Bryant to show that have been directly or
indirectly engaged in any conspiracy arrangement
plot TO sell him deiraud him at The late election He
says that Tamnany Hall deemed it expodient 10 ndorse
his record True they also deemed II expedient to
nominate him. and likewise deemed it expcdent TO de-
feat his election for purposes best known to themselves
And now, because this swndle has been exposed am
rcvcd by Mr.. Bryant for denouncng the who have
shamcfuy defrauded him. Such tricks trans
parent to deceive the public, especially In this city,
where such things are too well understood. The whole
truth Of this matter might be told in few words II all
the facts could be obtained from those who posted
TO the bargain in which Mr. Bryant played such
conspicuous part The whole truth will yet ont,
and shall not hesitate to expose il whenever OPP
portunty ofersperhaps at the municipal election
am compelled 10 rest under the mputation Of stupidity.
for until the communication OF Mr.. Bryant did
think him an injured man, my speech will show: but
have now changed my opinion, and think have
shown good reasons for doing Yours respectfully,
ISAIAH RYNDERS
