Moro OF the PhiI.deIphia Frauds

A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes as fol-
lows:
have just listened to statement BY
q man who saw the Grant and Wilson
elephant in Philadelphia yesterday.
Four men somewhat disguised las
roughs, their customary appearance
being that of gentlemen), repaired to
the City of Brotherly Love. These
men are well acquainted with the
roughs Of New York-with the mass OF
the thieves, murderers, vagabonds and
average scoundrels Of Gotham. In
Philadelphia they took carriage and
visited numberless polls. At all Of
them they found gangs Of New York
thieves voting the Grant. Hartranft
ticket. At one place. one Of these four
men stood, hands upon revolvers,
taking the names Of the rascals who
were there casting these illegal votes.
At another, Mark Lannigan Zone Of
the four referred toy, went to a police
man standing near the polls and in
quired As to how things" were work
ing. The police officer SAID: well;
very well" and the officer proceeded to
state that this morning they cast two

but from 2 o'clock to 4 we have given
them two to one, and between this a

are some OF our boys" responded the
policeman. well" said Lannigan,
that is very nice; but what do you
mean by our boys?' "Wby mean
Hartranft men, was the Grant officers
reply. "Whew! And 80 you are for
Hartrant?' This was Lsnnigan's
answer, and he says the policeman who
supposed he was conversiug with a
Grant man, simply skedatdled.
Another gentleman, IN walking through
Callowhill street, met a gang OF about
twenty-five roughs commanded by
we'll known New York thiet and vii
lain, a regular jail-bird; and as it was
after voting hours, and as their drink
ing had begun, they filled the streets
with cheers for Jimmy O'Brien."
This was lovely Tor Philadelphia. But
it sounded queerly to hear cheers for
Jimmy o Brien." Hence be stopped
10 inquire with this question.
"Is Jimmy O'Brien running for
Mayor of New York and Philadelphia

The response was "Hurrah hurrah
Tor Jimmy OBrien."
Now, the question is, who did this
lisgraceful job-work in Philadelphia
From the best information at hand it is
clear that at least one tbousan
thieves, murderers, cut.throats, an
oafers went over from New York
and repeated" at least
or thirty times. In other
words, the very men who, year after
year, elected Bill Tweed to the State
Senate, who are now the friends and
champions of John J. Bradley and
Jimmy OBrien, who are the Grant
Democrats per Sc, were sent to Philadel'

loing all within it's power, not o. hate
ind spite and fellow-feeliDg, to defeat
Greeley and elect Grant.
Now, what is the impression in New
York? Do you think it is depression
