Chairman Hackett's Old Pals
If the Election Goes Republican
DIshIer Will Keep Out of Jail.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-David A. Dishler,
the Republican worker and gambler for
whom there is now reward of So, 800,
and Chairman Hackett have been pals in (
Utica politics for years. When Dishler
concocted and carried to successful
issue his daring scheme to liberate Tom"
O'Brien, the prince of buncoe men, who
was convicted of buncoing farmer Post
out of $4,000 last April, the chairman
of the Republican campaign committee
was separated from Dishler for time.
Dishler was indicted in the Albany
county and Oneida county and he has
been fugitive from justice ever since.
That the two got together after
very short while is shown by letter
which the World has photographed and
reproduces. This letter was sent to Jos.
Frick. a saloon keeper in Utica who has
for many years:
"Pittsburg, Oct. "a, 1892. Dear Joe.
Yours received; also 500; thanks. !
am here for day or two on business
for Hackett, and will leave for Parkcrs-
burg, w. Va, either tomorrow or Thurs.
day. | have to watch carefully for any
one who might know me and move
about carefully.
IL wish you would go and see Tom at
once, and tell him that he must either go
to New York or write II. about money
matters. am beginning to think that l
am to be dumped overheard and left in
the lurch if the Republicans lose. | was
to get So 900 ou the 18th from IL. as
part of our agreement, but all l have
got from him thus far is $4,000. Tell
Tom to do all he can with Charley and
make him promise in writing that he
will give up before election. If H. comes
home any day, have Tom see him; If not,
it would be better for Tom to run down
to New York some day next week.
have been on the run ever since i
wrote you last. have put up so much
in fares that was broke when your let
ter came to me at Richmond. l have
written Charley almost every day, but
he sends me but $500 a crack, and it
goes like the wind. Here's good tip:
bet all you have on Harrison carrying
West Virginia and Virginia. We have
put $500 nigs in the former State and
every one is a Republican vote. New
Jersey is going the same way. We have
sent 1000 good Republicans there from
Tennessee and next week will 60 there
with 200 more. Martin will look after
New York all right, so don't be afraid to
bet on that going Republican. What
want you to do is to tip off the boys tc
vote for Sherman and Koch. l know
Tom will do all he can and tell my friend:
, to do the same for them too. These mel
may be useful to me some day and that
, why am anxious to have them win. /
, things come right may be able to g
, back, but will not venture for a while
, Everything depends on the election. Tel
my friends this privately, and what the'
do will not be forgotten by me.
when Tom gets any word from Hack
, ett on money matters, address me a
,Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, for one week
and after that to the Central hotel, New
Cumberland, Hancock county, West VII
ginia, or to Newberne, N. {. You wi
hear from me from Jersey. Don't fail t.
tell Tom all of this and give out abou
, Sherman. If don't get some none
from from H. in Jersey l will have to ca
upon you again. am to meet Marti
! in Camden and may get out of the hol
s there. If don't, send me the 5000 t
Jersey City. Don't send an envelope lik
the last one; use plain white ones, an
: mail at depot box instead Of the pos
Office. Regards to all the boys" Dave.
