MORE DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS.
ALMOST AS FUTILE AS THEY ARE MEAN
REWARD OF $50 900 OFFERED FOR EVIDENCE

80 OF INTIMIDATION IN THE SOUTH
The headquarters Of the Republican committees,
National, State and County, were fairly Hooded yes
tcriay with dispatches and reports about Democratic
fraud that had been unearthed by Republican vigil
lance here in Brooklyn and in various parts of this
and other States. This trickery was Of the most
diversified character, as usual Much Of It was an
ccnt, but and then novelty was discovered
For example, telegram stated that the postmaster
at Roxbuy refused to deliver certain mail matter to
Democrats because he suspected 1t to be Of Republ
origin.
A dispatch from Washington that came in the after
noon causes the National Committee desire some
information respecting Richard Rosenbalk who IS on
leave Of absence from Washington for the purpose, 1t
Is said of voting in Harlem, and also OF f. S. ner
of the Treasury Department who has some serious
thoughts, II is said, of voting in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, by the way, seeias to have attracted the
attention of the Democratic managers great deal Of
late. Apparently they have transferred many Of
the schemes they intended to work in this city across
the Bridge Ole of their dirtiest tricks is the dis
trIbuon of this circular, which has been addressed
TO thousands of voters:
Dear Sir: You sent herewith three Democratic
Electoral tickets yourself give the others to
your friends Vote this ticket. because 1t is vote
against Ben Harrison, the Indianapolis lawyer VINO
says dollar day enough for any man. but that or
any is much for striker" To the strikers
says would you back to work at the point OF
bayonot you down like dogs" He believes In
sprienghed rifles and Pinkertons detectives to suppress
American workmen. Vote against him
OF every sensible man knows that theso
statements are lies from beginning to end and their
falsity has been shown repeatedly. The Democrats
know II as well as anybody, and yet II is circulated
either with or without the sanction Of Chairman
Murtha who has, heretofore, been looked upon as
above such work 1t will have no more effect, how
ever than Bossr McLanGhlins harangue about tho
big Republican corruption fund that is to debauch the
Tha
McLaurhln's absurd chatter pointed out by
ex-senator Daggett last evening. I" II Is simply 10
hide Democratic rascality, every one Knows he
said. As a matter of fact there never was so much
money put in Brooklyn this year. Why, know
personally that $4,000 was put into the Fifteenth
Ward alone by Fire Commissioner Ennis. over
$4,000 has been raised by the liquor men alone and
every Democrat employed in the depart
ments has been assessed months salary.
Money has been given by wholesale by the Electric
light people Oh, It becomes the Boss to talk
about a corruption fund y
Some of the Democratic managers have not carried
on their work of colonization with the shrewdness
and skill that Chairman Barnum and Senator Cor
man usually exhibit They have not always studied
their ground carefully enough and Of their cor
respondence has got into good Republican hands. The
following letters have every evidence of colonial
tion plan
