and Franks, is ridiculous. Sherry is really
the man. 1t seems that he started all these
stories about other people being tAe guilty
ones, and I presume all the above state
ments came from him. One Of the men
whom he tried to throw 1t on to was
Stillwell-and on no other pr0v0cafi0n than
that Stillwell lives in the Fourth Ward, and
combined with Schott to expose him.
ooh, what tangled web We weave.

Since Taylosathe Workingman's candidate
for Attorney, has decided to throw ont the
Fort and contest the election, the whole
thing has come out, and am now enabled
| to Law before your readers the secret of our
defeat. Of course the fact that there are
many rumOEs aaoat Is some excuse for my
previous statements, which should be received
with caution, AMI trust any little erron l
NAV have committed will be lost sight Of in
| the importance of this disclosure. For some
time past have been watching young man
who works in your Office, and though my
suspicious were aroused never dreamed Of
the extent Of his operations until
election day, when saw that young
man, in the full bloom of early
manhOod-at that particular age when young
men should beware of vice and grid up their
loins against temptation-I saw this young
man scratch Baldridge. l felt an interest in
a young man who had become hardened 80
early in life, after having apparently been
tenderly nurtured, and entered into conversa-
ton with him. Before he knew what was
about drew plot out of him BY which it
seems We were defeated. 1 am not 1t liberty
to mention names, but will say that Markson,
Joyce, Anthony, Carl Schurz, Jacob Martin,
Tom Ploxman, Wild Bill, and Coney are
my references. 1t seems that POmerOy made
arrangements with Legate to have Baldridge
scratched because he Rad been in caucus with
Iii Robertson and Sherry-it being we'll
known that Pomeroy is opposed to secret
societies. Now il seems that as soon a. the
Democrats found out about this scratching of
Legatc and POmeroy's, they had tickets
printed with Cole McCrea's name
in place Of Baldridges. People would
scratch this before they noticed the
mistake, and this is what reduced
Macs majority. OF course any body can zee
that this defeated the ticket, and will prevent
Cole from acting as chairman OF the next
COdifying Committee. This is where the
blame rests This is the first time our rail-
road prospects have been seriously interfered
with.
STILL LATER.
1t seems that the cause of the defeat of the
Republican party on Tuesday was owing to
the fact that the Republican members of the
Labor organization didn't feel as though they
could spend time to bolt. They are busy
set of chaps, and concoct political tricks as
they toll. One of these tricks was to desert
the Labor party, and let it come laundering
to the ground, crushing everything in its
way. But they didn't have time to do it.
The consequence was that they came within
POO votes of carrying the Fort. We must
try to get about 900 of this element, when
we shall be as strong as the Democrats, and
will stand some show in the county. We did
the best we could, but were overpowered BY |
numbers. We are miserable and helpless |
minority when once stripped of our 81 ttering |
generalities.
THE VERY LATEST.
have made thorough investigation into |
the cause of the defeat of our party on Tues |
day, and find that Jennison & Sampson did
it, and for twenty-four long hours, ending |
at 10 o'clock last night, succeeded in throw |
ing the blame on to various leading Repub- |
cans. At that time nailed them, and they |
confessed it all. JennisOn.s withdrawal was |
a wicked subterfuge. His farming work is
not driving him at all, and he worked all /
day decoying voters out Of the Third Wand
in order to defeat Legate, who is bitter OPP
ponent Of Henry Ward Beechcr's.
SUMMARY.
have thus compiled few items regard
ing the late election, carefully avoiding all
foolish street gossip, in which too many per-
sons were indulging yesterday. When a
man undertakes to talk politics, common de-
cency requires tina; he shall know little
something about it. trust that
in the above disclosures have
convinced all intelligent persons
that my sources of information are
such as to guarntee the the reliability Of my
assertions. To be sure a few soreheads will
endeavor to disprove my assertions. They
will he prompsly !!suppressd, and trust an in
tellieent public willsustain me In thus rsing |
above party feeling and showing this thing
up. was led to the unpleasant task from
hearing many contradictory r'IInors on the
street yesterday, and not wishing that any
body should beunjuStly assailed, and believ-
ing that an intelligent expose was desirable, l
herewith present the facts.
