HILL DICTATED FLOWERS LETTER.
ROW THE " sTRADDLE" on BALLOT Reform
ARED
WAS PREPARED.

Since the publication Of Roswell p. Flowers evasve
response TO the questions Of the Peoples Municipal
League concerning his attitude on the question of
Ballot Reform many interesting details concerning the
conduct Of Mr. Flower and the managers Of his cam
paign while his reply was under consideration have
come to light A prominent Democrat, whose marked
Identification with the present State canvass makes i'm
possible the publication Of his NAME last evening made
to Il reporter the following statement:
When the Leagues letter TO 1lr Flower
ceived two replies to The question in that communion
ticn at preparei One was the work Of
Henry X. Beekman and some other prominent County
Democrats, and the other composed by Horace f.
Deming and some other members of the League.
Either composition would have pledged the signer 10
an uncomprOmisng suppo Of the banbetballot amend
ment. Such pressure was brought 10 bear upon Mr.
Flower at that time that he all but prepared to
yield 10 the entreaties Of the advocates Of the Aus
tialian sy stem, and sign the other. Murphy.
Griffin and Croker called In for the purpose of
consultation, and without any hesitation al once dis
carocd the letter prepared by Deming, being too
positive pledge Beekmans letter received further
consideration. IL revised 10 be sufficiently
evasve to enable the candidate to dodge the blanket
ballet Issue in he should be elected ard that being
done receive the approval Of the coec OF campaign
managers.
The matter that called for the serious consideration
of Croker, Murphy Co., the probable effect Of
the letter the feelings OF Governor Hill. In order
that the Governor should not be antagOnzed Murphy
was sent to Albany TO consult with him before the
revised letter placed before Flower for his sigma
ture. Murphy absent foY couple OF days. on
his return to the city he reported that the Governor
had positively forbidden the signing Of the letter and
had nIuctes him to say that II Mr.. Flower appended
signailIe thereto that ne could not be elected GOV
elnor Of New-Yor state; that he GIiiD did not pro
pose be slapped In the fsso and that II the Letter
was issued he would sec 70 II that Flower WAS de-

not written by Hin himself. Some people are ais

REPUBLICAN INSPECTORS WIN AGAIN.
JUDGE BARRETT sUsTAINs THEIR ACTION N RE
CURING A RESIDENCE OF THIRTY DAYS
IN AN ELECTION DISTRICT


In the courts as well at the registration places
the Republican inspectors Of election are coming ont
victorious. The contention which they have made IS
that person is entitled TO register and vote who
has not lived in election district at least thirty days
before an election Step by step this contention has
been fought by Tammany Hail. Twice the question
has decided court in favor of the Republican
inspectors, once by Judge Dugro and once by Judge
Barrett. The same question came up yesterday be-
fore Judge Barrett in an application for writ OF
mandamus to compel the Republican inspectors OF the
Twenty-third Election District of the With As
sembly District to register the name of Her.
man Mailman, who lives in clearinghouse at No.
90 South Fifth-ave. Hahlman applied on october "a
be registered but his right to register was challenged
by the Republican inspectors, VINO said they were in
doubt as his rights and asked linn to procure wit
nesses as to his residence in that district The Demo-
cratic inspectors advised Mailman that it was not
necessary and they registered him two books with
out any proof that he had lived thirty days in the
election district.
Mailman, with eleven Others living in the same
house, applied to Judge Barrett OF the Supreme Court
yesterday for wTits Of mandamus to compel the Re
publican inspectors to register their names. After
considering the terms of section 1851 Of the Con
sOidaOn Act which covers the case in question, Judge
Barrett decided that in of doubt particularly in
the case of lOdging-lOuse from which large num-
Der Of persons claimed the right TO register the in
spectOrs justified, under Section 1851, In re-
quirng the applicant TO produce as a witness of his
residence known elector In the election district to
testify as to the applicants qualifications.
Judge Barrett also strongly condemned the action Of
tile chairman of the Board in advising the applicants
that they need not produce any witnesses of their
qualifications upon the demand of his cl0winspcctOrs.
The decision was made, but withheld az to enable
David Levinritt, the counsel for Mailman, to hand up
a memoranda OF authorities cited by him. This cour-
tey will not change the action Of the judge. Henry

SATISFIED WITH THEIR WORK.
THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE AT REPUBLICAN
HEADQUARTERS.

THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE AT REPUBLICAN
HEADQUARTERS.
Only few days more remain of campaign which
has been aggressvely and enthusiastically conducted
by the Republicans. Seldom before has that party
found itself in better condition at the end of State
campaign, and those who have been entrusted with
the task of managing this great undertaking are firm
in their convictions that Fassett VIII be elected by
good round majority. They satisfied with their
work
At the headquarters yesterday hundreds OF applica
tons were made for tickets to the two large meetings
held last night. None could be given, as none were
Issued, and the admission free. Mr.. Kenyon.
secretary OF the committee, said l never saw such
o demand for tickets. OF all the meetings which have
been held, imagine these tonight will be the largest,
and they are 10 be in the Assembly district within
three blocks of each other The two held tonight in
addition to the others, make 1872 which have been
held under Republican auspices since the canvass be-
gan. Now, L think that is pretty good There has
hardly been school district in the state which has
not had some demonstration
There was good deal of bitter denunciation OF
W. Bourke Cochran yesterday. That typical repre-
sentative of Tammany Hal said in his speech in Brook
yn on Wednesday night that Mr. Fassett was the
incarnation of dSTinken, lying, swearing scod" Ore
Democrat said yesterday that is all the argument
they can bring against the election of Mr. Fassett,
shall vote for him."
The scathing unanswerable letter Of William VI.
Wins TO Mayor Grant the subject of much talk.
Ii is true there was not much talking done by the
Democrats at Flowers headquarters. one of the
chief inquiries made was: ~ wonder who wrote that
letter for Mayor Grant2'
General Hustled said The letter of Mr.. WINS is
not only unansweable but 1t is also convincing There
is not sound business man in this city who viii not
recognize the force OF the facts presented. And it
not 'carpebagger' either. who replied to Mayor
Grant BY the way, talking about 'carpetbaggers.'
noticed that Governor Hill, in his speech at Madison
Square said that the Issue home rule by the citizens
and taxpayers Of New York, against the meddesOme
interference Of the hayseeds from the country districts.
II seems to that Hill and Tammany Hail are not
anxious to have the state governed In the interests OF
the people who live outside of New York City. Al
they care for is 10 have the city Of New York left
alone. But they are inconsistent Here this cam
paicn is being run state issues and yet they bring
in Blackburn, Raynor. McMillin Crisp and Mills TO
tell how to vote. Well, they all voted against New
York on the Worlds Fair question
Mr.. Fasset started last night for Little Falls. lie
will hold reception there this afternoon speak in
HerEimer and tonight Will speak IN Schenectady.
