WHITEWASH IN NEWARK
the REPUBLTCdNS FTxING IT FOR
THE NEXT ELECTION.
Receiver BrondwelI said to have Paid-Ad-
mittcd TO Rail nj Any Rate Public Bust
NOS TINT DOESN'T tonccrn the pnblic.

| mitted TO Bail at Any Rntc-Public Bust
ness that Doesn't Concern the Public.
The news that Broadwell had surrcn-
! dered voluntarily aud given bail astonished tho
citizens of Newark little less Yesterday than the
/ story OF his default. Up to that time the i'm
| preston prevailed that he would he made the
| scapesoat Of the other accused members OF the
! CITY Government. The work Of ascertaining
! the truth ~ his reported baing was difficult.
! Tho bare fact that ho had gone before Justice
| Mil, with bondsmen and had executed u bond
was all that could he discovered, and its
/ foundation was only Broadwclls own word
/ lie says that the amount of the bond Is $50
eco, but he will not give the names Of his bonds
men. Justice Mills was the only other party
privv to the transaction, and he declined to in
/ form even Mayor Ricord ~ the amount Of tho
| bond or the suniciency of tho bondsmen. The
/ most plausible explanation of his rcticencc ia
| party exigency. Tho defacation will prove "a
| heavy load for the Republicans to carry at the
/ next city election and this has determined the
! party Managers to whitcwash the delinquent as
| far as they can. II Is aid that the step of dis
missing him was decided in "A caucus Of the Re
publican Councilmen only an hour before the
resolution was adopted Ivy the Council. Broad
| well himself was totally unpreparcd for it,
as he had been informed that his restitu-
/ tion would be considered ample atonemcnt
| The result was precipitated 10y the unexpected
! publication of the irregularity and nothing was
| left tho Ring to do but stine public clamor by
| spocious concessions, and thus escape general
/ investigation, which cannot fail to prove damag-
/ ing. All day yesterday Broadwell was vibrating
/ between the local newspaper Offices, begging
/ them not To bc too hard ON him out of charity
] to his family. lie does not seem capable OF
/ grssping the moral delinquency ot his acts, but
stili rts that II is no dCacdtion, only loan
/ which he always intended to restore. Bat at
I other times he tells more intricate story OF
/ tic book credits showed, and Thought that the
/ difference belonged to him ~ right.
wARNED OF THEIR ARREARS.
The Conn trollcr discovered the deficiency by
] having receipts for taxes shown him by persons
whom lac had warned Of their arrears. 1t was
/ the sum Of these receipts that aggregated the
/ Si9O which Bruddweli restored. The lnNtsti-
CATION ~ the Finance Committee never went
I behind this, hence the uncertainty of the eX-
/ tent ut the drtalcattun. The latest step taken
has boen To send notices to every delinquent
/ taxpayer on the books to produce the receipt
/ for MS last payment of taxes. It ia hoped that
I an cunt may be- reached IN this way. The inyes-
tsation VI the books haas not been begun and
the Finance Committee seem to I've NOV
| ing very slowly. In fact the whole ca.e
I against BrotdWcll is treated 10y city offciIls
| generally with lcnicncy that l. not Sufficiently
| accounted for oL the supuu-ltiIu that they are
prumuted 10y chaiity for a taien and distressed
