World this morning publishes the fol-
lowing story:
David A. Dishler, Of Ulica, a gambler
and political thug, for whose apprehen-
sion reward of $4,000 has been of.
fered by Governor Flower, ha. been
acting as the accredited agent of the
Republican party in shipping negroes
from Tennessee into West Virginia,
Virginia and New Jersey, to vote the
Republican ticket. Dshler's employer
is Chairman Charles w. Hackett, of
"blocks-o one" and confidential circu-
lar fame" Dishler and Hackett have
been pals in Utica politics for years.
When Dishler concocted and carried to
q successful issue the daring scheme to
literate Tom" O'Bren, the prince of
bunco men, who was convicted OF bunco.
ing Farmer Post out of $4,000 last
April, the chairman Of the Republican
campaign committee was separated from
him Tor time. Dishler was indicted
IN Albany County and Oneida County
and he has been fugitive from Justice
ever since. That they got together after
very short while is shown by a letter
which the World has photographed and
reproduces in fac simile to-day. This
letter was sent TO Jos Frlck, a saloon

burg, w. Va, either tomorrow OF
Thursday. have to watch CAREFUL y
fer anyone who might know me and
move about carefully. wish you would
go and see Tom at once and tell HIM he
must either go TO New York or write II
about money matters. l am beginning
TO think am 10 be dumped overheard
and lett in the lurch if the Republicans
loose. l was to get So, 900 on the 18Th
from II. as part Of our agreement, but
all l got from him thus lar is -, 900. Tell
Tom to do all he can whith Charley and
make him promise in writing he will give
up before election; If II. comes home
any day have Tom TO sec him. Ii not,
1t would be better for Tom to run down
to New York some day next week. |
rirt, I 10
you last. have put up 80 much in
fares that was broke when your letter
came TO me at Richmond. have writ
ten Charley almost every day, but he
sends me but $500 at crack and II
goes like wind. Here's good tip: Bet
all yeu have on Harrison carrying West
Virginia and Virginia. We have put
$500 nigs in the former State and every
one ls a Republican voter. New Jer.
sey is going the same way. We have
sent 900 good Republiccans there from
tennessee and next week will be there
with 2,400 more. Martain will look
after New York all right, so don't be
afraid and bet on that going Republican.
What 1 want you to do is tip of the
boys to vote for Sherman and Klock. l
know Tom will do all he can tell my
friends to do the same for them, too.
These mon may be useful to me some
day and that's why am anxious to have
them win. If things come right l may
be able 10 60 back, but will not venture
tor while. Everything depends on the
election. Toll my friends this privately,
and what they do will not be forgotten
by me. When Tom gets any word from
Hackett on money matters address me
at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, Tor one
week, and after that to Central Hotel,
New Cumberland, Hancock County,
West Virginia, or TO Newbernc, Craven
County, N. G. You will hear from me
from Jersey. Don't fall TO tell Tom all
OF this, and give out about Sherman. If
don't get some money iro... II. IN Jer-
sey City l will have to call upon you
again.
am to meet Martin in Camden,

Jersey City. Don't send envelope like
last one, use plain white ono. Mail at

to all boys. Dave,
