living in New York to vote the straight Tammauy
ticket in that city next Tuesday accused by the
New York Erenino Post Of having been paid by Tam
many Hall for their expressions OF opinion out Of Ito
campaign funds.
Other Southern pApers At which. in common with
surselvea the ugly accusation OF msroenary motives
has been nupg will doubt be able to speak for them
sslvea Ii 10 needless for us to thSt far
the Nmes Democrat the charge made by tho Post
10 arouudsss a. 1t mean and unworthy OF arespso
able journal The Times Democrat neither has nor has
had any relations with Tammany Hall Of any kind. d.
rect indirect; all that It knows about Tammany Hall
has been derived from the OF
about such political organizations and . careful OBJ

South pArdoned for saying that tho New York
municipal election OF next Tuesday concerns US In q
special maunsr-more perhaps than IL concerns even
New York itself In wsys We are threatened with
force ball and is fearful concomitants should
! the next Administration be Republican. We

TO avert such calamity; and we are sure that II the

nses control they would be in ist2 everything
that could be done in tho Empire State to secure
Democratic Administration would be done II, on the
other hand the NJ l. ticket were elected on Tuesday

mixture OF the Tom Plstt variety. whose success while
