The methods adopted by the liquor dealers of New
York to raise money for their friend and champion,
Governor Hill, have been the subject Of investigation
for some DAYS during tho last week There arc
several liquor organizations IN this city, but ono OF
tho largest and most powerful Is known as the Retail
LIQUOR Dealers Association, which IS composed prin-
clpay OF rum-shop keepers. The association Is
thoroughly organized and well disciplined, and Is
well supplied with the article generally depended upon
by the INSCRIPTIONS for carrying elections-money.
II has been discovered that every owner Of liquor
store whether he be Democrat or Republican, has
been assessed from $50 10 5000, according 10 the

The promise is made that the fund shall be dis
burscd by the associations own agents, and that 1t
shall not be given to any OF the Democratic com
mittces. Some Of the Republican liquor dealers have
expressed fear that the money may be diverted to
aid the National or city Democratic tickets but they
have been assured that this will not be permitted
There Is no guarantee Of this. however, except the
assurance of the committee, and the large majority
