The immigration in this decad- close

The Democratic Cat in the Neal
Tub.

John Kelly Controller of the City ol

cratic chisftian, is letting the cat out Of
tho Democratic meal.bag in that city.
Mayor Cooper elected by the Republi
cans AMI Anti. Tammany Democrats fol
the sake of securing honest government,
in the city has commenced an active wal
against the corrupt Office holders Of the
: city and having already removed a man
named Gumbleton from the City Clerk.
ship is threatening even the removal
Of Kelly. The latter says that Edward
Cooper was elected Mayor by means
Of Samuel J. Tilden's money, in order
that Tilden may gain the Presidency
in 1880, for which it was necessary for
him to carry New York State. Kelly
further says, that with the light which
has been thrown upon Tilden's charac-
tor hs never could have carried it by
hopest means, and so he determined to
carry it by dishonest means, and that he
determined to run the City ofNsw York
which is practically controlling the
State. Kelly, warming up with the
subject says that not only was Cooper
elected Mayor OF the city but that
Robinson was elected Governor OF the
State by Tilden's 'bar'ls Of money; that
both are simply his henchmen and
both will do their masters bidding, and
the bidding Of their master will in all
cases tend toward the advancement Of
his interests in the Presidency in 1880.
Thus the Democr stic plot for carry
ing the election in 1850 is already
plainly revealed not only in the action
in Congress TO repeal the Federal elec-
tion laws, but by the declarations of
the Tammsny chief. New York is the
pivotal point npon which hang the
hopes Of the democracy no matter whom
their candidate for tn. Presidency may
br. 1t is the only barrier now for sue
cess, and John Kelly knows If any man
does, the means to b- used for making
the North practically solid for Tilden,
As the South already is. We are not
friends OF Kelly, and have no faith in
his administration Of the Controllers
Office Of New York City, but when the
Democracy disagree, he IS justified
W hen goaded to the last extremity OF
forbearance by his prosecutors, in
telling what he knows of Tilden's
plots, and his revelations coinciding as
hey do with the effort Congress is
making TO tear away every protection
20 the ballot box, W. arc assured tha,
What Kelly says is true. $1,000 Dem
,cratic majority must be- rolled up in
New York city TO insure the Stats for
he Democratic candidate, and ,ha ma
ority can never b, obtained except by
tuning the ballot boxes, and plenty Of
money. To carry out this fraudulent
a Democratic Congress is
low holding an extra session, to remove
very protection for an honest ballot
md Tilden is. to furnish the money to
AIRY out the plot in securing the nom
nation to the Presidency, and in elect
ng himself after h.. is nominated.
'hus leaf after leaf of the Democratic
lot is being unfolded in time to put
he people upon their guard that they
nay not bs led astray by the aiy of
Democratic economy and reform. The
democratic cat in the mealtub is uncov- l
red, let the public take look in. !
