Hon. THOMAS j. DREAMER, a
Democrat, declared in the New
York State Senate, last winter,
that the elections in New York
City are Gas corrupt as hell"
This testimony is corroborated
by the New York World, the
leading Democratic paper of
that city, and fully confirmed by
the census returns which show
that in many districts there are
not as many inhabitants in the
districts--men, women and
children-as there were votes
polled. Not less than $4,000
illegal votes are polled in this
political sink,hole Of corruption
at each annual election. This
is accomplished by a regular
system of organized rascality
called repeating, the rowdles,
thieves and cut.throats going
from one precinct to another,
voting as often as they have
a mind to. The authorities of
the City and State of New York
Instead of Furnishing this class
of criminals have encouraged
them, for through the repeaters
they hold their offices. The
thing has been growing from
bad to worse, until last session,

they thought would secure fair,
honest elections, furnishing it,
