GOV. ENGLISH AND TAMMANY HALL.
| HARTFORD April 5.--AbOut ten days before
the election the Republican papers Of this State openly
charged that Gov. English and the Democratic party
were in collusion with the Tummany Ring There was
evidence of in the fact that Gov. English himself had
been seen in company with william VI. Tweed at the
| Delavan House in Albany; that tho Liquor Dealers
Association Of NewYork had active agents at WORK In
the State and established dsbUrsng Offices; that all inc
imported speakers tie Democratic side were avowed
Tammany men, none others being called into the state
On Thursday Of last week leading Republicans came In
possession Of dispatch sent by Gov. English to Albany,
| which read as follows:
"Do not disappoint US: nothing could be more dis
astrous"
There was not the slightest doubt that this dispatch
was forwarded over Western Union line from New
Haven. It was accepted as further evidence Of the
shameful! colusion between the Democratic leaders and
Tammany Its publication simultaneously III IlIE NEW
YORK TRIBUNE and Times. The Neto Haren journal ana
| Palladium, and The Htofd CotTaf stirred ny such
| an excitement among the friends OF English as was
never before Witnessed in any political party IN Con-
neeticut Immediately the Now-IItyen Ring managers
set to work to courteract the influence of the dis
! patch But Gov English had committed himself to
! It in his great anxiety, by rushing into the tee
| graph Office there ard making tie inquiry, "HOw
aid they Get that dispatch - and tie reply was, ut was
probably taken of The wiIos" However, Dir English at
once issucd proclamation OF ring reward OF 500 for
the detection the author OF the forged dispatch win
my name signed IT," Aud lie then gave to the pubic
copies of TWO dispatches which lac said were the only
communications that had passed between himself anu
Tweed Int one of tlcao lad cOEnoCtlO with Tweed
whatever and there the Governor was lame. The first
was from Richard OGOrman to English, saying that he
was afraid lie could not speak IN Ncw"ven on "edhes-
day night as he Lad been suddenly called to Albany.
The second WAS from English to Tweed. and read:
"Have dispatch to OGOrman TO your care delivered at
once. Have him come rs agreed"
But where was the dispatch to OGOrmeu' That was
carefully suppressed. And not i.lstaning tEa. t.
ward Of $500 offered FOR Tire eicciion Of 'he
forger that very day Mr.. Wood, tie Ntw Ln5and Man
arer OF he western Union Lin, ia boston, sent for
and did 20 to Ecw-Iavcn to discover, if possible, who
"Ieaked" the dispatch. All business on the line
| was suspended for over an hour on Thurs
| day morning 10 give way to the Investigations
/
giving the dispatch had doubt OF It's correctness ana
supposed that it was sent by English to Tweed direct
they gathered an explanation Of the whole thing out OF
the clustering proclamation OF EDglsh and the proof
| Of his clustering and evasion furnished in the sup
preston of the OGorman dispatch and in the inyesga
tons ordered by Wood; and it is due TO these papers
that tie Democratic charge of "forsery and fraud"
gbly made since the election should have quetus.
But the Democratic press fell back with dignity upon
the English reward, and lodged tie main issue The
Corant and other papers insisting that Tweed dd re-
ceive the dispatch as alleged That dispatch, as the
doGging OF English clearly showed, and as subsequent
investigation abundantly proved, mol to Tweed d
rect but was his for OGOInan, and was in reply
TO OGormans disTatch saying that he was fearful he
| could not speak III NewINcn. He was relied upon TO
stir ND the Irish votes there and hence English to mako
the inducemcnt strong for him to come, replied: do
not dsappOint nothing could be more disasrous And
| O'Gorman did come. Now why did not Gov. English
| confess to sending the Dispatch instead Of crying
forgery and making himself ridiculous by papabe in
consstencesl | will tell you; simply because, after
his partisans had claimed the State as sure for him by
from 1900 5000 majority, he knew that his own adnls-
sion that the absence Of speaker from the State
would DISASTROUS, would cause depressing II not
disheartening effect This is the whole story, and from
IL YOU will Judge on which side the fraud and forgery
| have been. In the first place, 1t was honestly
| believed that Engllsh's dispatch sent direct
TO Tweed (who did receive" it, 1t was to his care),
and when 1t rds discovered that III was hlehucu loi
OGorman, the fact existed that he was in connunica-
ton with Tammany men, and it was insisted upon. II
ia somewhat singular that Engshs quibbling denial
should have been the means OF giving Republicans the
first correct explanation OF the dispatch, while he In
tended il to msead everybody. He certainly was as
lty morally Of fasehood himself as If he had told
"the lie direct" while on the other hand the Republicans
who fastened the dispatch upon him told The truth, and
stuck to it all through and will back II mp to-day
OHIO.
