SAME OLD RASCALLX METHODS.
Ifang one thinks the Republican
managers have changed their methods
since the exposure Of w. W. DUDLEy's
scheme to carry the election for HAIR
msoN by the "blocks Of FIVE" method he
is very, very sadly mistaken. The
methods OF the Republican managers
particularly in New York in this cam
paign are even more openly and boldly
fraudulent than they were in the infa-
nous blocks-of-fve campaign four
years ago, when QUAY and DUDLEY
ran the Republican machine. HACKETT
aud MARTIN in New York can give
QUAY and DUDLEY odds and beat them
in rascally political work, as their latest
letters from Republican headquarters
will conelusively show. For purposes
OF comparison we reproduce DUDLEY's
blocks-of FIVE letter of 1855 first. Here
it is;

That is DUDLEY's famous or rather
infamous blocks-of-fve letter, of 1883.
1t is bad enough, but in the matter Of
dishonest political work it is not to be
compared with the following issued the
other day from Republican head
quarters I'm New York City:
