STOP THE BALLOT THIEVES.
TIE VOICE OF TIE PEOPLE AGAINST HILL
AND HIS GANG OF THUGS
STARTING FUND TO TRANSPLANT JERSEY
JUSTICE TO NETWORK STATE

STARTING A FUND TO TRANSPLANT !" JERSEY
JUSTICE TO NETWORK STATE
FOR SEASON.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: On the subject Of the proceedings in Out
chess County, permit 10 say that If such neiari-
Gus acts are to go unrebuked and the perpetrators
are TO escape punishment, government by the peo-
pie through the ballot-box will speedily come TO
an end. and we must become the subjects OF an
oligarchy or q practical despotism as we were In
this city under Tammany in the days of Tweed
and as we bid fair to become throughout TINS
State under Tammany in these days of Hi ana
Croker.
Although am a resident of New-Jersey, am
native Of this city, and it appears to me that the
application of little Jersey justice. sample oil
which we have had in the punishment oi
the Hudson County defrauders OF The pal
lot-box, would be emfnenty proper IN 'his
great State of New-York. IL is well enough
to talk about the outrages in Dutchess
County and elsewhere, but what is wanted Is ini'
mediate action to right the wrong and TO punish
the perpetrators, that their evil example snail
spread no farther. The first act required in such
Q case is the raising of sufficient sum OF money
to employ the best legal talent in the land and to
enable the requisite proceedings in the courts to
suggest that every newspaper in the State act as
an agent for the collection of subscriptions for
the purpose; and as a proof of my belief in nay
own s9ggestion enclose my ehecK lot SioV rsr 70
citizen who loves freedom will do likewise, TO
the extent Of his ability.

Enclosed with the above was Mr.. Renwick's
check on the Shoe and Leather Bank for 500,
which will be applied for the purpose specified
as promptly and as efficaciously as possible.-Ed)
THE LEGISLATURE MUST MOI BE STOLEN.
BUT HILL WILL HESITATE AT NOTHING TO
DO IT.
TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Were The subject not melancholy one, the
suggestion of The Tribune and other newspapers that
public meetings be held throughout the State to de-
pounce the scheme of robbery by David b. Hill would
seem udicrofs. What does David B. Hill care for Repub
lean public meetings! What will he for the dc
cisons Of justices Of the Supreme Court If the court
decided, for instance In favor of the Republican can
ddate in the disputed Onondaga district how are its
decisions to DO enforced except through the sheriff and
Governor IIill7 Should II appear to the court that
Deane was elected senator and order be issued to
the Duchess County Board CT Supervisors to report the
vote returned by the inspectors of election, accord
ing TO law how is that order 10 be executed? David
B. Hill is ambitious and wants to be PreSdentl If he
succeeds In Selling the Legislature Of this State, he car
have law passed providing for the appointment of
the Presidential Electors by the Legislature instead of
being elected by the people, and the coming Legs
laure, which he will own may appoint electors to his
Hiking giving him the electoral votes of this state, even
before the meeting Of the Democratic National Conven
ton. With the Presidency possibly within their hands,
are David B. Hill and the members of the state Can
wasting Board likely to hesitate over mere question
Of law
David B. Hill and the Democratic party undertook
during the late campaign to take permanent possession
of the State of NewYork, aud they likely to hest
tate TO the MEANS especially as the Republicans In
the rural districts did little at the polls 10 them
nav How do the Republicans of Onondaga County
relish Democratic Board Of supervisors How do
the Republicans in Chautauqua and Cataraugus coun-
ties relish the possibility that the Senator from tat dis
trct may have the casting vote TO decide that the
electoral vote of The Empire state shall be secured TO
the Democracy, Di5re the candidate Is nominated
