tncre ased 10000 VoCe6s winch num-
Der were cast for that honest old
Democrat, Augustus Schell, now
dead, as a candidate for mayor,
when he was defeated by Edward
Cooper, under 8 combination o.
Democrats opposed to Tammany
Hall, with the Republican party of
this city, on division of the Offices,
which cast 70, 600 votes against him.
But We have had to combat, not
only the false impressions crea ed
ss to the charsct OF the members
OF our organization. which have
been manufactured cot only to
blacken our reputct: Il and lessen
our isfiuence. but ca .es have also
been made against our political i2-
tegrity and the honesty of our cup
port given to candi'ates OF the
Democratic party. 1t ha, been
charged that we conspired to De-
feat filden and Hendricks in 1876
and Hancock and English in 1850,
and the press Of the country has so
generally circulated this atrocious
SANDER, that by continued repiti-
ton, even impartial men have come
to believe it. The following itate-
ment OF facts should suffice to bury
this calumny for ever: In 1875,
Tllden's total vote in New York
State was OIL 949, Hayes AS9,2G7
filden's majority 32.741. Tammanv,
with its magnificent discipline Snd
honest management, brought this
enormous vote to the Dem cratic
ticket and made success. The GER
ssin victory which the Republican
managers sns ched from the jaws of
defeat must be sought for else
where. PerchRnce it may be dis
covered in the hating, tims-
serving Senators and Congressional
Representatives, who consented to
the manufactured device unknown
to the Constitution, which defeated
the EXPIRE ssed wish OF the majority
OF the people of the United States.
Against this fraud the Tammany
organization protested, and ithas
never ceased to condemn the ingen-
ious, but unconstitutional electoral
commission cunniugly devised to
avert tbs impending destruction of
the Republican party, which it sue.
ceeded IN accomplishing in 1877 by
vote Of 8 TO 2. No fair minded man
who will examine thess figures, can
doubt the Ell rely loyal support Of
Tammany Hall to General Hancock.
