New YORK, Nov. Hon. j. j. Rich
ardson,of the National Democratic COM
mittee, in speaking Of the Dudley cir
cular, SAID " it was corrupt conspir-
acy to prevent the true expression of
the will of the people of Indiana and
was the Republicans only hope of car
rying the state The trick was discov-
cred in time, however, to prevent
any disaster, and will cost
Harrison many thousand votes.
but while this exposure has
been timely and will swell Cleveland's
majority in Indiana and other stateS,.we
shall take nothing for granted. The
same conspiracy by the same consplra-
tors against public sentiment Will be
continued until the polls close next
Tuesday. 1t becomes every Democrat
to do his full duty The infamous cir
cular of Col. w. w. Dudley. treasurer
of the Republican National committee,
has almost supplanted the Sackville
affair and the eXtradtion treaty trick as
the leading political sensation of the
town. Dudley Shuff1eS and preVaricates
about it. but makes 10 denial beyond
alleging triiiing inaccuracies in the pub
lished copies of his letters. and like
detected criminal he shelters himself
behind his lawyer and refuses
to say anything. except through
his counsel, the wiley Col. George Bliss.
The proposition of the letter is twO-fOld,
to buy Indiana and to intimidate New
York. According to the United States
district attorney and State District At
torney Fellows, both of whom were
spoken to OH the subject this afternoon,
the writer of the letter, and every one
concerned in getting it up, are
DANGER OF PROSECUTION
both under federal and state laws. The
state statute in question is the same
under which Johann Most was convict
ed. The United States law contra
vened is contained in, section 5511 of
States. The only delay in proceed
ing with the prosecution under
either law arises out of
the necessity of waiting for
proofs. AS soon as they are at hand
Dudley and his associates will be liable
to he arrested OF indicted. The indig-
nation here at this monStr0us effort to
deprive voters of free suffrage is very
great, and there are fears that popular
sentiment may run so high as to
render necessary police protection
The revengeflil feeling is checked
chiefly by the idea that Dudley and his
fellows are simply undertaking ridic-
ulously impossible task bound to end in
inglorious discontinue. The big me-
trOpois is very good-natured and not
disposed to be frightened by political
warriors of the general Baum variety,
but 1t is very clear now that

to avoid relying too much on

of ways. The small boys all
over town have got up the
refrain, ''Hurrah for Grover

ton of supporting the model American

matter, the following criticism on Sen

who were most active in unearthing and

does not attempt it. He-lawyer as he
is-parrles the blow. The de-
fense Of Minister West is
very kind. Who should defend
him, if not the men who yielded to his
influence. / am not fully prepared to
believe that Mr.. Evarts' version of the
subject would convey that American
statesmen, of their own v0lition at this
day, while publicly proclaiming SYM
pathy for Ireland could, under the pro-
lection of the secret session of a senate
committee formulate, propose and at
tempt to establish that which every in
telligent man who can read the English
language can see meant under the ap-
plication Of the Irish crimes and Tory

section of the Netherlands treaty to
prove that the clause copied from the

is not unfriendly to that country. If, as
Evarts would convey, this treaty is not
unfriendly to Ireland, why, would ask
him to tell us, has it been used as cam
paign document by the Republican
party and its infamous char
acte charged against tl.5 admins
tration? Why were millions of copies
of it with startling energy circulated
among the American voters urging them
TO defeat the party and men who have
been guilty of this cruel wrong against

were impelled to pursuit of the facts
in this case by the continued and boldly
persistent charges by Irish Republican
campaign orators and the press and
campaign documents against the ad-
ministration. accusing President
Cleveland and Secretary Bayard of
the responsibility for the clause in
question, determined when we
located the truth to denounce the act
and warn the friends of Ireland and

This we have done and defy
successful contradiction. Some very

been published this week, xe-
