NATIONAL REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS, NEW
YORK, Oct. 22.-Yesterdsy Mr.. Barnum, chair
issued an address to the public in which he
publishes two kilograms sent by myself To
Florida. The following are the exact facts
On the Sth of October verbal information was
received at the Republican headquarters that
two or three hundred men were going out
from this city on one of Mallory's steamers,
bound for Florida, on the strength of which
inform alton the following telegram was sent
to F. w. Wicker, collector, Key West, Florida,
warning him that the men in question were be-
lieved to be Democratic repeaters:
Telegram-"New York. Oct. 9Th. To +. w.
Wicker, collector. Key West, Fla. The NAL
lory steamer of last week had two or three
hundred workmen for some railroad. 1t looks
to us as though they were sent to Key West to
vote. (Signed) Marshall JEWELL
On the l1th of October letter was received
at these headquarters, of which the following
is copy: Custom House, New York, Collec-
tors office, Oct. 11th-Desr Sir: Ihaye just

1t was believed at these headq uarters that
the Democrats were sending these men to
Florida as repeaters, and action taken to
prevent the Democrats from reapiug any bene-
fit from this scheme.
The telegram to Mr.. Noyes. a copy of which
is given below, related solely to the payment
of the expenses of Messrs. Noyes and Collen-
der, two Republican speakers In Florida. The
telegram was as follows: 'New York, October
ITO Chas. J. Noyes, Jacksonville, Florida:
l telegraphed yesterday. will provide, as re-
quested, two hundred dollars each for Collen-
der and yourself as compensation. (Signed, }
Marshall JEWELL
The kilograms to Florida related solely to the
fact that we had the information above given,
viz: that the Democrats were exporting men
to Southern Florida for some purpose, and
from the past history of that party it was fair
for us to assume that they were sending them
there for the purpose of committing election
frauds; and we notified our friends in the tele-
grams which have found their way into the
hands of the chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee. by the usual Democratic
methods, and which have been paraded as evil
dence of intended frauds upon the part of Re-
publicans. submit these facts to the public
and am willing to abide by the decision of all
fair minded men. (Signed,)
MARSHALL JEWELL, Chairman.
