FARR'S NOMINATION.
Evidence Against the BayOnne
Ring-Newmanite Slanders.

As predicted in the JERSEY CITY News
a few days ago, the mud-slinging tactics
Of John Newman and the ring gang Of
Bayonne were proving boomerangs. but
the publication yesterday in the .'ring"
footmat of the letter which Terrence b.
Brady has talked so much of, and in
which be said Mr. William G. farr used
the words ''lousy Irish" has served the
purpose of assuring the Irish vote TO
Farr. Nowhere in the letter published is
the language Brady talked of used, but a
little consideration of the letter and recent
circumstances will positively prove that
John Newman cares nothing whatever for
The Irish except to'gain their vote on cleo
tion day. and TO do this he used this man
Brady as IA tool.
A MONGREL
"Who is Bradyg" an old Irish woman
in the Fourth ward SAID TO me last night,
when asked her the question. "WeIl,
he Amt true Irishman; he's what We
call at home q mongrel" Brady is
ring henchman. They so control him
that he dare not call his soul his own.
He is at present a foreman on the
Twenty-second street sewer, which Ring
Contractor Cogan is working
When it became evident a month or so
ago that John. Newman could secure
neither the Democratic nor the Republican
nomination, and that William G. farr was
likely to get both, as later proved true.
Brady was the only one who could be
found willing to do the job Of putting the
letter before the people. But in his
anxiety to serve mis- masters he did them
sufficient harm TO elect Farr. The letter
they fixed up wasn't strong enough in Ian
guage they thought, so Newman directed
Brady TO use-the words. Lousy Irish-n
These words he used at the Democrats
nominating convention. On March 30,
the language used having reached Mr..
Farr's ears he Immediately wrote MIR.
Brady, denying the authenticity of the
letter and asking its production. This
Brady took time to answer To myself
Mr.. Farr emphatically denied tie letter.
Now, Brady, answering Farr's letter of
March 30 TO defend his own truthfulness,
ETC., etc, publishes letter in which the
language imputed does not appear.
NEwMAN's TOOL
This positively proves that the two
words were thought of by Newman and
shows the way in which his mind runs
with regard to the Irish, and that Brady,
was acting for Newman. And, by the
way, the letter is dated May "a, 1875.
sixteen years ago.
Mrs. Melieh, nee Miss Goocchild, who
was the vice principal of the school at the
time, and to whom the letter is supposed
to be addressed, was loath ID speak of the
unaLlef ldSJ DlRul. one Ulu say however.
that she positively did not remember the
letter, and that she was surprised when il
was SHOWN her.
Principal Vroom, of the same school,
has also written Mr.. Farr, denying that
he ever heard of the letter before. As be-
fore stated, Mr.. Farr disclaims all knowl-
edge Of it,
Alas, poor Brady 1t is to be hoped
the next time Newman wants to unload
any more trashy lies he will do SO In n
different manner. Some citiZsus last night
were anxious 10 give Newman dose of
his own medicine and wanted TO issue
pamphlet on certain happening in New
mans life. but they were advised not to.
as Mr.. Farr says he is willing the people
should vote without bel ng shocked at the
past actions of any man. Never since tue
time Newman was nearly indicted for
shady transaction was he so scared.
Throughout the city the Republicans
are dissatisfied. They will not vote for
Newman, aud many are openly support
ing Farr. In the Second ward Newman
is opposing the Republican candidate for
the council, Mr.. George Benny, and
doing what little he can do for "Parson"
McQuillan. who poses as citizens can :
didaLe.
