The Ne,c York s,oindle.

The Ne,c YorI; StUindIe.
Chairman Barnum, of the National Dem
ocratic committee, says that leading Demo
Gratis from all parts of the country are ex-
pected to attend a conference to be held in
this city next Monday afternoon. The poll
ticians will consult together as to the causes
which led to the recent defeat of the party
and as to the future policy of the party in
Congress and in the country. Special at
tention will be paid to the alleged frauds
committed by the Republicans in this State,
and the meeting will decide what to do in
view of this sad state of affairs. The Demo
Gratis are still lifting up their cries in solemn
protest against the
TERRIBLE oUTRAGEs
committed by the Republicans last Tuesday.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Dorsheimer, one of their
most prominent spokesman, says to-day: 81
know of acts which tend to show that very
large fraudulent vote was cast in this city by
the Republicans"
"Why were these men not arrested when
they presented their ballots, if you had evil
dence of fraud in their cases?" he was
asked.
"That is one of the things which the
committee will have to find out. A large
number of warrants were issued for the ar
rest of these men, and were placed in the
hands of the police. The police, however,
refused for several hours in the morning to
serve these warrants, aud, when they did
finally begin to serve them, most of the men
had voted. This
COLONIZATION
was not confined to any particular wards,
but was spread all over the city. The only
reason the police gave for refusing to serve
these warrants was the order issued by Super
intendent WalliDg in5tructing them not to
serve them. 1t is believed that there
were fully twenty thousand illegal
votes cast in this city for the Repub-
Icau ticket Many of them were registered
from certain class of hotels and boarding
houses. The vote was in excess of the legal
proportion of voters to the population.
In 1876 the vote in this city was one in seven
of the population. This year Hancock polled
about IL 900 more votes than Mr.. Tilden
did, which is
AFFAIR RATE OF INCREASE;
but the vote for Garfield shows an increase
of more than 40 percentum over the vote
cast for Hayes. The committee appointed
by Tammapy hall will make thorough in
vestigation and obtain evidence of these
frauds. What further proceedings will be
taken can not say, but this evidence, if it
sustains the charges, will be brought before
the people in clear manner"
Thos. f. Grady, ex member of the assem-
bly,, said: "The committee appointed to in
vestigate the frauds are now at work, and
they will produce evidence which will open
the eyes of the people to the outrage prac-
ticed by the Republicans. know of one
case where the proprietor of dormitory in
the Bowery had a number of lodgers in his
house, and he was told that unless these men
voted the Republican ticket they would be
arrested He
MARCHED HIS MEN UP TO THE POLLS,
and each of them voted the straight Repub-
Iican ticket, and were paid So apiece for their
votes. The proprietor received $50 for his
services. I have no doubt that from twenty
thousand to twenty-five thousand illegal
votes were cast for Garfield and Arthur in
this city. These men were brought on here
from Washington and some from New Eng
land. In the Seventh assembly district
there were many negroes who had just come
on from Cuoa and were not naturallZed."
This is the sort of talk the Democrats are
indulging in. The Republicans express
anxiety to have the proofs made public. il
the Democrats can scare up any. 1t is the
decided impression of most people that il
Garfeld's election did not
HINGE ON NEW YoRK's ELECTORAL VOTE
there would be very little heard from the
Democrats about frauds. AS it is, they are
trying to get up sensation, and the general
opinion is that tina. severything they expect
to do. Mr.. Fowler, of the Democratic State
committee, claims to be quite deluged with
dispatches from all parts of the State, offer
ing proofs of Republican frauds. In1 fact
the Republicans appear 10 have brutalIy
bulldozed tens of thousands of timid Demo
crBts after the most approved Southern
method.
