MAKING A DEAL WITH THE DRAM-SHoPS.
THE LIoUoR-sELLERs UNITING TO SUPPORT
THE wIGwAM TIcKET-wHAT THEY
EXPECT IN RETURN.
Tammany Hall is using every effort to secure
the solid vote Of the liquor-sellers Of New-York
for its candidates. Seriously alarmed at the
growing strength Of the Union ticket which Is
gaining support in the most impressive manner
daily, the Tammany leaders are resorting TO every
device that desperation can suggest TO save their
fortunes. 1t is clear that some Of these leaders
have made the most disgraceful and
corrupt assurances to the iquOr-dealers that
violations Of the Excise law shall be
treated with even more eniency in the future
than they have been in the past, il the keepers
Of the dram-shops will give all the votes that
they can muster to the Tammany candidates

A report was made at the meeting from com
mttce which had been empowered to confer with
Tammany leaders concerning the attitude OF
Tammany Hall toward the lquor-dealers. Per-
sons who were present at the meeting assert
that the committee reported that it's members
had found the Tammanv leaders willing to give
The most sweeping assurances that if the Tammany
IL ho oI hn rir rt-At
ofice would protect the interests Of the liquor
dealers. OF course this protection Of their
interests rally meant that violations of the En-
cis law v,Juld be allowed to go unheeded
= ~ unpunished. 1t was deserted by the committee
thesa pledges were strong and came from
- Ia Oh rtcrs In Tammany Hall thnt the liquor
dealers could feel assured that the pledges would
be kept 1t is even asserted that the committee
declared further that the Tammany leaders had
promised that II the Tammany candidates were
elected ex-Judge Cunning S. Bedford. who is looked
upon by the liquor men as their especial friend III
office should be retained as Assistant-District At
torney, and should have charge of all the Excise
cases.
After the report of the committee had been
read a motion was made that the Tammany
ticket should receive the support Of the associa-
ton, especially Mr.. Ncoll, the Tammany candi-
date for District-Attorney. Some of the delegates
present opposed to Tammany and protested
against the adoption of this motion. After pre-
longcd and somewhat bitter and personal debate
the motion to support the Tammany candidates
adopted.
Since this meeting Of the central body Of liquor
sellers the papers Of the city that are friendly II
Tammany have printed reports of a number OF
meetings of district associations of lquor-sellers
l,al,l. ;lal h, ti,pc
port the Tammany ticket, and especially De
Tanimany and thcsrum power in this town
are therefore fighting together in this campaign.
with Ii closer union even than ever before, and
with an alliance bol,er, more audacious, more
shameful and more corrupt than in former years.
And it is plain beyond dispute that the Keepers
of the dram-shops now believe that if Mr. Nicoll
is elected District-Attorncy Mr.. Bedford will be
retained assistant in charge Of the excise
and that the Dstrict-AttOrney office will he 50
managed to protect violatOrs of the excise law.
The liquor dealers are now acting on that belief.
Unless Delaney Ncoll can show that these
liquor-dealers have been dcluded and misled by
false guides: unless he can give complete and
fetid air OF every bar-rOOm In the city, he is
dsgnced man. Mr.. Nicoll must understand that
test he has permitted his masters in Tammany;
Hall TO the owners Of groggeries that he will
Ike their fawning servant in the District-Attor-
nsyS of ssrt or seresscct sf s eSS permit
reports so infamous to 60 uncontradicted. When
such scandals are thick it is the urgent duty
of Mr.. NicOll to repudiate on the instant the
pledges given by his false friends in Tammany
Hall if he desires to got single respectable vote
in this community He must repcl with scorn
these imputations on his manhood and his honor if
he desires to appeal to the decent citizens of New
York for their suhngcs He ought immediately
to put himself on record in no doubtful terms.
lie ought to publish signed declaration Of what
lie intends to do with violators OF the excise
law if lie is elected District-Attorney.
