The Select Committee appointed by
Congress to investigate the New York
City election. and which the dispatches
say had their witnesses arrested while
being examined and dragged from court
by the Democratic Sheriff and officers, is
composed of the following members of
Congress: Hon. William Lawrence. of
Ohio. Chairman; Hon. Henry l.. Dawes,
of Massachusetts,; Hon. Austin Blair, of
Mich; Hon. o. J. Dickey. of Penn; Hon.
Benz. f. Hopkins. of Wisconsin: Hon.
Michael G. Kerr, of Indiana: Hon. Lewis
w. Ross, of Illinois. The committee
was appointed on a petition OF the
Union League Club. and the frauds per
petrated were 50 gross and palpable that
there was lit tie doubt of the conviction
OF number of prominent New York
politicians. They have adopted meth
cd of suppressing the investigation
nearly as culpable as the crime. Since
Sam Bowles WAS kidnapped and rushed
off in the night to the Ludlow street
jail and refused communication even
