THE DENoCI:ATIC HUNTERS AFTER FRAUD
LOSING THEIR GRIP.
Special Dispatch to The Chieaor Tribune.
new York, Nov. l3.-The matter Of
frauds seems to be weakening the more the
Democrats Investigate them. There
was a meeting Of the Talnsnany Hall
Fraud Committee to-day, John Kelly
being present, and this statement made
III sort of apologetic manner: "Thi frauds
matter is yet in an embryo condition. We
lave received reports Of general
nature from .the leaders Of the various
Assembly District organizations, but nothing
specific about the frauds. We have, there
fore, returned the papers to them, with re-
quest that they give detailed statement Of
fr1uds by Republicans on elect>on-<lay. We
don't want any hearsay eyidence,, but. tho
facts We want the names Of the men who
voted Illegally. When we obtain the reports
again we will submit them to the Committee
on Organization" Mr.. Kelly looked dis
appointed over the result Of the
investigation, and the members of the Com
mittee evidently had no faith that any proof
Of fraud BY the Republicans OH election
day would ever be secured. Politicians
who heard about the Committee meeting in
the evening declared that this would be the
last OF the fraud. A1nazement was expressed
that after the loud-mouthed assertions about
fraud made in the Committee Oh Organization
directly after election the investigation should
have proved such failure.

he owns. Being interviewed on the Morey
letter he said: "You need not be astonlshel
if you sec some startling developments be-
fore long. The National Committee don't

nish all possible aid. hope every Demo-
crat who had anything to TO with connecting
or publishing that infamous forgery will be

with them. l won't mention names, but you

fraud cry raised BY Democrats In New York,
he said it was only to divert attention from
themselves He refused to discuss campaign
matters further. His stay here will be sew

BUT DOING GOOD DEAL OF WORK.
Special Dhpafch to The Chicago Ttbuns-
New York, Nov. 13.-All the counsel in
the Morey case are extremely reticent as to
what they propose to do next. Testimony is
being collected as rapidly as possible. Under
the decision of Judge Davis the Grand Jury can
hardly tail to find an indictment against Philip
By Tuesday or "Wednesday. The case will
then be placed on the calendar for an early
day. Mr.. Hart, as the publisher Of Truth,
and c. A. Byrne, as Its editor, could
also be prosecuted on the charge Of
criminal libel. They can be proceeded
against 1t is said either for publishing the
forged letter or the editorial which Philip
wrote. 1t was expected that indictments
would be found against them Friday, hut it
was deemed best by the prosecution to wait
until certain other evidence could be obtained.
What is deemed more important is to obtain
all the evidence possible relating to the
effort of certain persons to have James
0'Brien, alias Lindsey, and Morey perjure
themselves in making false aftida-
Wits relative to the genuiness
Of the Morey letter and the
existence of such person as Fl. L. Aforey.
It is known that the :Democratic National
Committee sent confidential agent to Mary
land to communicate with William II:
Price, the Democratic Elector who had
sent to the National Democratic Conf
mittee the affidavit of Robert Lindsey
to the effect that he knew II. L. Morey. and
had seen III his possession the letter which it
was alleged Gen. Garfield wrote to him.
This confidential agent of the National DEM
ocratic Committee was "Col." II. Fl. Hadley.

EvInEScE has been given by A. r. Nc
Donai.l, :: contractor, before the Canadian
Pacific Hallway Commission that Mr.. Onder-
donk, San Francisco contractor, paid
$1oo,00o for obtaining contracts to build two
sections IT the Canadian Pacific Road

Smith, 4 Brooklyn contractor, testified few
weeks ago that lie pail 500, 900 for, his con-
tract. The Commission has not yet finished
its labors, and will come upon sulne other
developments before it does. Onderdonk and
Smith paid the money to contractors who
