EDW. j. DUNPHN.
To the Sun correspondent Mr. Dunphy
said tonight:
MY objects I'm resigning were these:
First. / meant IL as a protest against
che management, the practices, tae meth
DDS, the aims Of the leader OF my As
scmbly district My protest was mace
IN behalf OF those people Of my Assembly
district who oppose irregularities IN cleo
tone our silence might hereafter be con-
sidered as approval. and we do not by
any means approve. Then, again, on the
great question Of taxation j 40 not
want 20 see Tammany HALL led from the
weli-lmown principles Of Democracy as
declared frequently I'm its platforms ana
in the platforms Of our state ana county
II there be any one question on Whieh
every Democrat desires to see Tammany
stand straight up. IL is on the tariff. TIC
FAR been all right and no person, however
high in authority he may be. should be
allowed 90 turn the organization back
ward on that great question. III NY pro-
test be in time TO prevent such turn
30 VIII always be - matter or great graf
ihcauon 10 me.
INV reasons for rcalgning are set forth
pretty fully i'm my letter Of resignation
but VIII very briefly repeat them. ! am
unaltorabiy opposed 20 colonization. false
registration Illegal voting and false re-
Turns Any organized body that encOur-
ages or approves. or viii not prevent
such wrongs 7 am opposed 10 ana VIII
not be a member OF. The influences that
now control the Tan'many General Com
mittee of my district seem 20 care moth
ina for the sanctity or effectiveness OF
the ballot Large majorities only are
wanted. and that too. / believe ire
spcctive Of the method or practices adopt
ed When / went home from Washington
last october to register. j saw wonder
ful sight indeed Some Of the principal
streets in my district seemed 10 be awe
with iders, and miserably cioihed ShN-
eriue tramps The corners on Park row,
Chatham souare. New Chambers street.
Eoyyerv. New Bowery. and Worth street
seemed 20 be infested with these misei-
ablo-lo0king creatures. ! am toid that
they could be seen every day until cleo
fion was over Then these idlers ana
tr1mps disappeared like the snow before
tho sun. Two days after election, you
couldn't find n dozen Of these idlers with
a eoarch light. Why did they come?
Who induced them to Gomez what dld
they stay for? Who got the benefit OF
their vlsit2 Why did they so suddenly as
appear just after election
Gust examine the registry list, and the
election returns. and you Will get some
light on the subject. There was a Presl-
Dental election in '92. ana very large
vote was polled I'm our district. ~ was
a most important election, and u was
o,,ite natural that the registry and vote
ehould be large In 80. 1888 votes were
re,,ietered i'm the Second district or the
votes pored, 9.l36 were for Cleveland ana
22t for Harrison Last year was what
is called an off year-no President no
Governor, no Mayor TO be CHOSEN III
such years IL happens that the registry
and vote fall off at least 10 per cent.
I'm the Second district, however, Things
went contrary 10 the rule. Then l5'4yb
votes were registered. and Of the votes
noll-I MAYNARD received HOB and
Bartlett f.35l My information is that to
The election district giving the greatest
majority TO Maynard was 20 be gwen 81
81 200 position; 10 the next best another
position. to the next a gold watch ana
chain. in iffnf SCI vi dt' '4rN tipfA 'Ai.'
tricis the entire registered vote was
polled and i'm these districts Maynard
got every vote. Such a result was most
startling. and was never known before
I'm our district Did the presence
i'm our district of the regiment
of tramps have anything TO do
with the enormous vote registered
and polled2 We're the offers Of positions
and expensive jewesry sufficient TO induce
election officers to do wrong? DID the
acts OF omissions Of our election officers
produce these wonderful results. Each
person must answer these questions for
himself. / have drawn my conclusions,
