The testimony of c. g. McGrew, given
in the st. Louis Whisky Ring cases, gi, es
pretty clear insight into the way things
are done under Grants Administration
After detailing the way in which the
CROOKED" was worked, and how the
money was raised to defraud the rev.
enue, Mr., McGrew says: ,.
1.-THE money was collected usually on
Saturday of each week, the amounts COL
lected from Ulrici varying from $4,000 to
$4,000, from Thompson from $500 to
81 800, from Curran from $500 to 81 500,
and from Bevis & Frazer from $500 to
$4,000 the total average being about S.
500 per week. The distillers brought it
tony room, generally about noon, and
disbursed it. A certain sum was taken
out to pay the gaugers, assistant collec-
tors, assistant assessors and storekeepers
The balance was divided into five parts
The money for subordinates was given to
John Leavenworth for disbursement Of
the other five packages I kept one, Nc
Donald got one, Joyce one, and the others
were given to Leavenworth with the un-
derstanding that Mckee got one and Ford
the other. This work began on the first
of September, 1871. Mcdonald COM
planned that Joyce ought not to receive
as much as the rest, and so on one occa-
sion l gave him $1,000 more than the
rest, without giving Joyce his fullamount
of one-fifth. 'l' ''
n | took the money or the main mem
bers to the Supervisors Office, and there
was no particular disguise about my de-
liyering it. always Get aside a portion
Of the money, part of the time 800 per
week and part of the time 5000 por week,
for VIM. O. Avery, Chief Clerk ofthe In
ternal Revenue Bureau at Washington.
This increase was made at the instance
Of Joyce, who came from Washington
once and said that Avery was complaint
ing of not receiving enough ofthe money.
Hence we increased it to $500 per week."
All the time this was going on these
gentlemen were sounding the praise of
Grantism, lifting up the bloody shirt,
and giving their money freely to the
Radical corruption fund to control elec-
tions. Their chief source Of coil plant Is
now that they had contract with GER
tain men connected with the Admins
tration, that they should be protected,
and that the contract has not been kept
on the part of those who are high in au-
thority. The testimony further devel-
oped that when agents were sent out to
discover these frauds upon the revenue,
they we're bought off as fast as they ar
rived in st. Louis, the average price per
agent being $4,000. And all these men
were Radicals in good standing, who to-
day believe that the only man in the
country able to save them, the common
schools and the country, is Ulysses s.

preme Court Commission, received $780,

the majority o. the entire vote, 500, 5,l95,

tax, though, received 10000 votes less
than enough, getting but 27S, ,0O5, or 81,
600 less than were cast for the lawyers
amendment. The vote against it was
1891, while 9S,561 were cast against the
lawyers amendment. That is to say,
$1,000 men who voted on the Court Com
mission proposition, neglected the one
for taxing dogs, while 1575OO votes, or
over one-fourth the entire number cast
ing votes in Ohio at the October election,
failed to vote upon either of these i'm

MuwAuKEE. November 1.-THE null

It will be remembered that the tele-

cratic votes; one will certainly go with
the Republicans the third will be rig
idly independent, and the fourth voted
the Democratic ticket thisyear, and isan
anti-Gr man. On the State ticket the
Republicans elect Ludington to the Gov
ernorship by S43, but the Democrats
elect all the other State officers by ma
iorities ranging from 673 to $500, and
averaging 1881. In Milwaukee Luding-

votes, fact which secured his election,
TAYLOR, the Democratic nominee, suffered
somewhat from personal unpopularity
with some Of its prominent members,
but was really defeated through the Sc
cret influence of the railroads. To give
Ludington majority, his friends include
the votes cast at the Soldiers Home, by
the Chippewa Indians and half'breeds,
and in the logging camps. If Governor
Taylor contests the election, as he will
probably do, all or nearly all of these
votes will be rejected as irregular or ille-
gal, and he will receive his seat. 1t is
also notorious that to elect Ludington
the Republicans deliberately sacrificed
every other man on their ticket, includ-
ing the very manned soldiers" and
citizens of foreign origin" with over
looking whose claims they tainted the
Democracy. This fact will not be for
gotten by the Germans and Scandina.
