To Intelligent Voters.

To not be deceived by the so-called vim
dication of DELAEo G.. CALVIN, which he
has had so extensively circulated. This
pamphlet consists of II weak communica-
ton orignyey sent to the Hcrdld. This
precious Wument. when analyzed, is
found to contain IA dishonest version OF the
STARIN fraud, n letter from JAMES NJ.
SMITH on that swindle, an afIidavit of one
THOMAS CoLgAN, and "A paper signed by a
few lawyers who, either from Indifference
to the public interests or from mere good
nature, were mislod into giving Their sig
natures.
Referring TO the SrARIN fraud, Mr..
SMITH says that he saw, early in the
hearing OF the case, that CALVIN "was
very decided In his opinion that the only
questions were rs to the amount OF COM
peusation;' that il, in other words, that
from the beginning CALVIN had made up
his mind to give judgment for the plaintiff,
and the only question, evidently, in his
mind, was how large an amount he could
venture to saddle the city with.
THOMAS CoLGAN, 1t appears. was the
clerk OF what is known IN the history of
our municipal frauds rs CONNOLLY S board
of audit, and the facile nature of the
recollection of clerk of CoNNoLLY &
board can be easily accounted for. lie
makes an outrageous attack on the mem
DRY of the late Judge BONSEY 10y asserting
that that gentleman thought that the Nc
KEAo claim was legal. This statement, of
course, IL mere hearsay ana worthy OF no
credeucc, rs it is easy to make an asser-
ton respecting the opinion OF man
now in his grave. There is not the slight
est evidence, nor is there any reason to be-
lieve, that the claim was ever presented TO
the board of which Judge BoNNEY was
member. CoLGAN says II was III the year
1865, but as the board was not created
until 1867 it shows that his statement is
false. Moreover, 1t makes no difference
what any particular individual may have
once thought of this fraud. That il was
an attempt 10 swindie our taxpayers out
of nearly 100000 has become notorious.
This affidavit of COLGAN III CALvINs cir
cular is headed " affidavit of Judge Bon
SEy," n transparent lie on its face.
1t is very significant that with all his
efforts CALVIN has not been able TO induce
a single lawyer to come forward and as
sert that CALvIN's decision in the SrARIN
reference was either honest or right in
point OF law. The reason is that no re-
spectacle practitioner would be willing TO
imperil his reputation 10y making such an
assertion.
1t may be that CALVIN will he elected
but if so, WILLIAM NJ. TWEED could be
elected II he happened to run on the Tam
many ticket at n Presidential election.
