NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The Grant man.
ayers are industriously and very quietly |
which they cannot honestly avert in Oc- |
tober In Pennsylvania and Indiana. OF |
the two and half millions extorted from |
Office holders, about five hundred thousand |
were expended in Maine alone. What re-
mains from recent elections viii be planted !
in Pennsylvania and Indiana. Senator |
Morton's fund to purchase voters is stated |
by the World to be about half million.
In Pennsylvania the immediate pro- |
gramme is desperate effort TO whitewash |
Hartrsnft By q Cameron emissary visiting |
Yerkes in prison and cajoliDg him by |
promises Of freedom to retract bis affidavit |
exposing Hartranft's robbery Of the State |
Treasury. He La told if he will do this he |
will be set at liberty Immediately after the |
October election. Forney's batteries, how |
ever, cannot be spiked. The Grant WIRE |
pullers consider lava safe, and are just be- |
ginning to feel concerned about Ohio, but |
it is certain they have no hope TO carry |
Pennsylvania and Indiana except by money, |
and ali the varieties Of dishonest strategy. |
The Liberals in those States must be pre- |
pared to fight stupendous bribery at all |
points.
As for New York, there was secret |
meeting of Federal oficeholders held last |
week, at which Tom Murphy was present.
They discussed a plan to spring trap in |
this city by which sixty thousand natural |
lied citizens would be debarred from vot-
ing. This is to be done by bsdgering them |
under the new Registry Law, which re-
quires each man to give not only his resi- |
dence, but the exact location Of the room |
he occupies. There are many new streets |
in the upper part of the city where tene- |
Ment houses are not numbered. Other |
clauses of the new Registry Law can be |
used to embsrrass unlettered and foreign |
voters. This conspiracy has been prompt |
ly exposed and will be met.
Cen. Dix and the Pacific Frauds.
The Sun says: "Gen. John A. Dix, can |
didate for Governor of New York, was !
President Of the Union Pacific road when |
Cakes Ames, as Director of that Compa- |
ny, acting directly in its interest, distribu- |
ted brides of Credit Mobilier stock, as he |
hImself certified, among certain members |
of Congress. Did Gen. Dix originate, or |
did be suggest, or did be only approve this |
enormous scheme of bribery? II he was |
party to 1t he Is morally unfit to be Gov |
ernor Of New York. II he was not q par
ty, he is intellectually unfit"
