DE SENATOR'S GANG.
Dry Dollar, Boston Tim and Soda
Water Riley at Work.
THEY ARE MAKING VOTERS FOR
THE TIGER In GOTHAM.

Dry Dollar Sullivan Wants to BE ONE s'De
Senator He Is Getting Solid With
Tammany by Colonizing yoters-Prepa-
rations for Election Frauds in New
York-Men Imported to Vote Regis
tered by the Score.
New York, October 23.-The New
York Herald has been busy exposing the
colonization of voters by Tammany
Hall. There seems to be mot the slight
est reason for doubling that illegal regis
tration is being carried on in whole
sale manner in the Third Assembly Dis
trict-ruled by Assemblyman Timothy
D. Sullivan, who has just received the
Tammany nomination for state senator.
Men have been registered there by the
score who are unknown in the localities
where they now claim residence. AS
living in one house, 20 were registered.
In many. leases people living in houses
appearing on the registration books as
the residences of large numbers of voters
disclaim all knowledge of the Hmen reg
istered. The Herald says:
AT no place in this city are arrange
ments for 'colonizing' and fraudulent
registry more boldly and openly made
than at the low, vile gam bling resort and
dive known as the Comanche House,
No. 203 Bowery, the headquarters of
Dry Dollar Sullivan and his followers,
including Soda Water Riley, .Sullivan's
valet: Dennis Sullivan and Boston
Tim Sullivan, who are among his chief
henchmen. So needless of public opin-
ion and SO secure in their belief that the
law will not trouble them are these in
dividuals that they take practically no
precautions to hide the fact that 'negc
tiations' are carried on there.
s''The gang which frequents the place
is typical of Tammany. The counten-
ances of the majority of these men are
plan index to their character. Bullet
headed, short haired, small eyed, smooth
shaven and crafty looking, with heavy,
vicious features, which speak of dissipa-
ton and brutality, ready to fight at
moments notice, the followers of the
would-be senator loaf about the place,
waiting for orders which may come from
him at any time about matters to be
looked after in the district.
1T was on Wednesday last, registra-
tion day, that the Comanche Club sang
was in its element, for there was mrs.'
