FROM GOTHAM.
An Interesting Political Letter From
Howard.

Martin last week it was evident TO any one
familiar with Democratic ways that there
was some fraudulent scheme afoot from
which they wished 10 draw attention by
alleging Republican attempts at fraud.
They have attacked Mr., Martin because
they were afraid of him. He is practical
politician, and they we're terrified lest he
might find out their own attempts at fraud
and nullify them. Therefore they began
to abuse and vilify him. 1t is an old
Democratic dodge.
But Mr.. Martin didn't scare neither did
the Republicans generally; and now we see
Just what it was the Democrats wished to
cover up with their cry of ''stop thief.
Mr.. Martin has discovered an extensive
and systematic plan for colonization by
which the Democrats had hoped to swell
their vote on election day. The Bowery
lodging houses are filed with repesters,
and every proprietor of dive or a dance
house on Cherry Hill or Water street or in
the Mulberry Bend is expected, in return
for Tammany police protection, to furnish
two or three extra Democratic voters. 1
TheIentire details of the neiarious scheme
are now in the hands Of the Republican
National Committee, and no effort will be
spared to make it impossible for the DEM
ocratic repeaters and tramps to get in their
votes where they do not belong.
Meantime we must expect that greater
howl than eyer will be raised about that
dreadful "Dave" Martin and his schemes.
Thieyes and robbers always dislike the de-
tectives who expose their wickedness.
THAT BEGGING LETTER.
The pluto Democratic manager of Mr..
Cleveland's convention and of his cam
paign, Mr.. William G. Whitney, of this
city, has conceived the sly scheme of pre-.
tending that the Democratic National
Committee is out Of funds, and that the
Republican Committee has a magnificent
surplus of cash. The purpose of this is to
ward off demands for money from Demo-
cratic workers. and to inspire Republicans
with the idea that they can draw on their
party managers for unlimited amounts of
cash.
The Democratic appeal for funds is
signed by Messrs Hsrrity and Dickinson,
and is most pIeposterous thing. 1t
| denounces the manufacturers, as all free
traders do, but we hardly understand how
Mr.. Whitney can undertake to denounce
"rich men" and Corporation" on the
Republican side without striking himself
and some other supporters Of Grover
Cleveland The letter also has the assur-
ance to denounce the political intimida-
and debauchery" of the Republican party
and to protest against crimes affecting the
purity of the ballot. This, in the Tammsny
center, is rick indeed.
Mr.. Whitney's begging circular is a
| fraud and sham, because at its close it
shows that no funds are needed, for it states
that "Cleveland's defeat is not possible"
Beyond all this, we know that the Neno
York World claims to have raised 1872, 749
for the Cleveland corruption fund. Surely
this has not been used already. The best
information at hand shows that the Demo-
cratic National Committee, since Mr..
Whitney has taken it in charge, has a
good deal more money than will meet all
honest requirements of Presidential
campaign. If it runs a little short, Mr..
Whitney has only to put his hand in his
deep pocket to make the deficit good.
SKIES BRIGHT.
The outlook for an old-fsshioned Re-
publican victory is indeed bright. Every
one about the Republican headquarters is
in good humor and working like beavers.
There are no drones among the committee
men-all have their coats off and attend
ing to business.
Senator Quay is expected here next
week and will lend his services in unearth-
ing and preventing frauds upon the ballot.
With Quay and Martin attending to this
part of the campaign, and Charley
Voohees assisting, there need be no fears o.
the result. HOWARD.
