The following article in the New York
Times on the 10Th of last month, fore
shadows the exposures which the tele-
graph informs Us the Times has publish
ed of the thieving operations of the DEM
ocratic Office holders in New York. The
telegraph also informs us that .he ssring"
offered the Times pne million Of dollars
on condition that it would keep silent in
regard to the frauds it is now making
public, Following is the a1tlsle referred
20 above -
We published on the Sth instant an
article from Connolly's 4(alias Slippery
Dick'sl own books, showing the frauds
which are peTpetrated at the expense of
the public IN relation to the city armor-
les alone We gave the official lists of
the armories, the rents paid for them,
and the rents they we're actually worth
We sent this article to Connolly, and
gave him the opportunity Of correcting
or denying it; but he could not do
either.
Tomorrow morning we shall publish
still moro important document, also
compiled from Connolly's own books.
We shall prove, and we challenge Con-
nelly or any other of the city authorities
to deny single fact or figure In our
statement, that the public are robbed of
several millions a year under the head Of
arnory accounts alone. We shall show
that not less than ninety millions year
pass through the hands Of Hall and Con-
molly, and that they and their fellow
conspirators steal large part of the
money. We have openly charged Dick
Connolly of being thief, and we shall
now prove him to be one. We shall do
the same with Mayor Hall We un-
dertake to place before the public proofs
which would be sufficient to convict any
man IN a court OF law, and we earnestly
hope that the public will closely look
into these proofs fer themselves, and
form their own Judgment from them
Our article tomorrow, though of fgreat
importance, will be ex ceeded in interest
by true copy which we shall shortly
publish OF the money paid on warrants
during 1859 and 1870 for the new court
house. These figures will convince any
man beyond doubt that Hall and Con-
molly, who signed the warrants. are
swindlers, and as such we once more ar
raign them before the bar of public
opinion
