Executive Chamber, Albany, N. Y, Oct 10th,
1875.
Sir,-The Improper aud illegal use of money
at elections is in some portions of the state a
serious and growing evil, some times threaten
ing the unbiased will of the people and always
debauching the public virtue OF both officers
and electors. You are familiar with the strin-
gent statutes and the conditional provisions
adopted last year relating to the subject, and
are aware that if they are vigorously enforced
this evil will soon be eradicated. expect that
you will be vigilant in detecting and diligent in
prosecuting persons guilty of the crime referred
to within your county, and shall regard any
derection of duty in this respect as sufficient
cause for removal from Office.
am yours truly,
tSigned) SAMUEL j. TILDEN.
