To the Editor OF THE HERALD:
VIII you please explain, through the columns
of THE HERALD, the meaning of the phrase:
1.-THE DuDLEY's bloclss-offve-systsms
A SUBSCRIBER.
With pleasure. In the campaign OF 1855.
WILLIAM w. DUDLEY, formerly commits
sioner of pensions, appointed from In
diana, was treasurer of the Republican
national committee, with headquarters in
New York. Near the close of that cam
paign. to-wit: on tie 24th of October, be
sent out to Indiana secret circular from
which the following is an authentic ex-
tract The genuineness of the letter has
never been denied
Your committee will certainly receive from
Chairman HOUSTON the assistance necessary to
hold our .foaters and doubtful, ooterS and gain
| enough Of the other kind to give HARRISON and
MORTON 10000 plurality.
Divide the foaters into blocks of fire and put
trusted man autth necessary funds in charge of
these Ave. and make him responsible that none
get away, and that all vote our ticket.
! There viii be no doubt of your receiving the
necessary assistance through the national,
state and county committees-only see that it
is husbandee and MADE TO produce results
! And while on the subject. perhaps it
will interest our correspondent 10 have
some other information about raising
money "for campaign purposes" In the
same canvass, 1888, Mr.. JOIN WANAMAKER,
now postmaster-general in HARRIsoN's
cabinet. was sent for one day by Senator
QUAY, chairman of the national committee
OF which DUDLEY was president, who
asked him to raise soms money for the
cause. WANAMAKsR hesitated three
weeks. The rest of the story as ne told it
to a friend, and published Feb %, 1889,
was as follows:
| At the end of the three weeks told Quay
would undertake to raise the money ii he would
allow us to establish ugaufa fursrs' BWre ~
and have voice in the disposition OF the
money. l don't mean that we insisted on
knowing what was done with every dollar of it
Id dat rant TO knoa9. When I sell suit of
clothes don't insist on being told just where
these clothes are going That is how there
came to be Manufacturers Bureau.
Col. ELLIOTT f. SHEpAeD, in his New
York Mali and Express, gave, on the a2nd
| of November. 1888, some interesting evil
dence of how expensive il is 10 buy up
Democrats to vote the Republican ticket,
saying:
OF the money so literally contributed by the
Republicans Of this city Tor election expenses,
three very large sums we're laid out which
brought in only about 1850 votes as the result
Of these expensive negotiations <
On Saturday before election there YVES paid
by the national committee for use in this city,
10 Republican state leader, as we are in
formed, the great sum Of about ei5OC00 and. as
none Of this went to the county committee. it Is
FAIR to presume this ce,y ia,ge sum scas used IN
tie hyes negotiations ALLUDED to.
The latest of the notable admissions of
the use Of money by the Republicans in
elections is that OF Chairman RAcKrrr OF
the New York state Republican committee.
IN secret circular under date of Sept.
20, 1892. 1t is as follows
