q To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
o SIR:-I beg leave TO make little com.
! ment on an article In your paper yester
r day, purporting to be report from
Paul Gillis supporter, as to the recor'
made by what he saw proper to call tn
influence OF Martins stable, at Third ani
, Orange streets IL would be hard L
determine as TO just what this informant
does know, but there Is one thing we ar
+. very sure he don't know, aud that is hos
to state facts.
He makes the statement that they ha'
= been instrumental IN nominating Franl
+ Sudham for sheriff To show the fslsit,
I. OF his statement that they had beel
naming the sheriff and that there woull
be no mere OF it, he began with Stidham
!, Phil Clark. James Martin, Bill Simmoni
and Pierce Gould. Now the facts ar
Clark was nominated over James Martin
! their candidate in 1880 aud Jane
Martin was nominated over Frank Std
ham iu 80, and Frark Stidham was nom
insted over Hukill, their candidate, by
small plurality, by virtue Of stulflng
A ballot box at New Castle. to the tune o
i over one hundred ballots in Siidham'
favor In 1884, working his defeat b
Z Tom Ford and dragging the whole ticke
A down with him from which IL took tn
Z party six years TO recover.
y He also says Tom Ford defeated Sim
q mons, when really Ford was elected fou
/
10 candidate, and was dead before he, Sim
mons, was elected. So the stable infu
ence has not had its candidate nominate
in but three instances since 1874. viz
d Martin in 1882 Simmons in 1888, an
is Gould in 1892 And we can't see wb
! they should not be as much entitled Z
a their choice as any other set Of men tha
r can always be depended on TO supper
D. the nominee, particularly when IL mus
d be remembered that their choice has bee
elected twice when all the rest II th
ticket was defeated, Martin by Q vote
in 1882. and Gould by 1S9 in 1892.
d This goes to show very conclusivel
l. that they have not been any dead weigh
s in the party in the way of electin
d sheriff5. / don't know who could be s
sr indiscreet so absolutely foolish
IN sounds like the perpetrators Of Oh
le postmaster removal job. will just cit
him, and all other such malicious M
scrupulous persons land not irreverentl
