THE PLOT FAILED.
Boston Bankers Too Sharp For
Gotham CUind-ers

Who Tried to Palm Off Worthless Paper
of Non-Exstine Corporations-The Police
Now Engaged the Case.
BOSTON. Nov. 28- New York sharpers
according to bankers of this city, have
been at work during the past week in try
| ing to swin9le banks here. Fully $150000
of valueless paper, it is said, has been
foated, though it is not known that any
Boston institution has been victimized.
The banks and prominent brokers
throughout the city have had their atten-
tion called to the matter, and it is believed
that the sharpers, as they are called, will
find it hard job to dispose of the paper
unles they manage to get some man to
discount it on the representation that Sc
curity for the same is at the banks.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
afternoon a prominent bank president
SAID that the gang, whose headquarters
are in New York city, tries to get the
money from the banks by putting the
business paper through third parties, and
that they are willing to take anywhere
from 90 to 10 cents ON the dollar.
Inspector Gerraughty of police head
4hui bClSt WIZ II CIllGl VI bue puuh SQudN,
in the absence of Inspector Houghton in
the west has been working on the matter
for several days.
Among the large list of corporations
whose paper has been sent to this city, is
that of the Staten Island Terra Gotta
company, Richardson Ldmbef, company
and the Portsmouth company, southern
concern. These concerns have either
failed or gone out of existence, and ac-
cording to a well-known bank president,
interviewed yesterday,
The Paper Is Simply vaIueIess.
Before trying to pass off worthless pa
per, it is alleged that attempts have been
made to get money from the banks by the
presentation of bonds of the Duluth
Water, Electric and Gas company, and
while these are genuine bonds it is stated
that they are worth much less than par
value, which they are stated to be worth.
With the bonds In question are sent
drafts. The other day the messenger of
reputable brokerage concern ON Congress
street brought to one of the Boston banks
10000 of these bonds which were said to
be worth $500. The messenger told the
bank president that his concern had been
requested to forward draft, taking the
bonds as security, but an investigation
showed that neither the brokers or the
bank people had ever heard of the man
that sent the bonds, and after a consulta-
ton, it was deemed inadvisable to accept
them.
The matter was looked up, and it was
shown that the last quotation of the
bonds was placed at but 49, and if the
bank had accepted the bonds for security,
as represented by the senders the institu-
ton would have been out more than $1,000
by the deal, at the lowest figure.
During the day well dressed man came
into the bank and said that he was sorry
that the bonds had been sent to the bank
so early but it was wished that they be
accepted He claimed to represent some
trust company, but he refused to divulge
either the name of the company or his
own, and this made the banking people |
even more suspicious. He finally left the
bank, and has not been seen since.

An unbroken record Of thitty.efght

party to which he belongs. He says
the Republican party has ever been
CONSTANT in its declarations for pro-
lection, unlike the Democratic party,
that in West Virginia has for years de-
luded it's followers By promises 1t has
failed TO perform, Its stump speakers
have declared themselves, time and
time again, as good protectionists as
anybody.
The canvass OF Mr.. Wilson in the Sec
ond district, and the defense OF the
Democratic platform Of 'O2 by Demo
cratic speakers all over the Unites
States, have given the lie To the declara'
tons OF local stump speakers OF the
Democratic persuasion, and RS tho re-
cent election attests, the scales have
fallen from the eyes OF this Independent
voter and West Virginia is redeemed:
While in the city on Saturday, Mr..
Dayton, member OF Cougrcss-efect from
the Second district, called upon Mr..
Snyder at his place Of business, l422
Main street, and after pleasant CONVEX
sation tho champion OF protection from
the Second district presented Mr.: sny.:
dor with his portrait, in consideration OF
Mr.. Snvders record as q Republican, and
his having voted in 1856 for name
sake Of Mr.. Dayton for vice president:
The ticket in 1856 was Fremont and
Dayton. Mr.. Snyder values very high,

WASHINGTON, D. c., October "a
Senator Faulkner said to-day that he
had Just received some important In
formation regarding the plans OF the
Republican managers in Mr.. Wilson's
district. While be is not absolutely
certain OF the accuracy of the informa-
tiOn, be had little doubt IL was correct.
Ii was TO the effect that the Republican
manaaers in the district had decided TO
hold on TO the big campaign fund
they had accumulated until
couple Of days before the election
and then TO make use Of 1t In a
way could readily be imagined. This
would explain the circumstances that
the Republicans we're apparently max
ing no effort 10 get up meetings. Even
in towns where II would cost them lit
tie or nothing to have meetings they
made no attempt 70 do so. Senator
Faulkner continuing, said that II this
information regarding the Republican
plans was not correct, then there was
out one other explanation OF their
course; this was that they had a0an-
doned the control in the Second dis
trict. wisely deciding that it would DO
a wild waste Of money and labor TO at
tempt to stem the tide Of enthusiasm
for Wilson.
Dayton, the Republican candidate is
not idle, however He is writing per-
sonsl letters 70 the voters Of the dis
trict urging them to cast their ballots
for him. Several of those letters have
been received here, some OF them COM
ing 10 Democrats.
Mr.. Wilson was in Washington to-day
spending some time at the Capitol. He
was in fine spirits and expressed the
utmost confidence in his reelection. He
said he had been for years accustomed
10 enthusiastic receptions at the hands
OF the voters Of the Second district, but
never before had witnessed such scenes
of tumultuous enthusiasm as during the
present canvass. Mr.. Wilson not only
feels at ease regarding his own re'elec-
tion, but has no doubt that the Demo
Gratis will control the next House.
Senator Camden arrived here this
afternoon.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, October %
Republican leaders in the Fourth Dis
trict are verv much worried over their
inability to interest their people In the
campaign. Even the most prominent
speakers they have do not entlce the
people out to hear them. On Saturday
night J. B. Foraker. Of Ohio, spoke In
front of the court house here. II was
a beautiful night but not more than 800
persons were present, including a num-
Der of Democrats. The Elkins meeting
at Point Pleasant last week was very
small and on his return from 1t Warren
Miller, Republican candidate for Con-
gress, was compelled TO admit and de-
plore the fact that the Republicans
would not turn out TO hear the speeches
He said it seemed almost impossible to
get them uut and so IL does. There is
no enthusiasm among them. They GO

erS 10 arouse them seem to have been in

shake of their apathy that Governor

even he will accomplish anything.

Mr.. Howard was at his best, and made
one OF the most logical and instructive
speeches ever made here, and frequent
and hearty applause was accorded him.
Mr.. Davis. so we'll known for ability
and true Democratic principles, made
most eloquent appeal TO the people, the
effect of which will be seen on election
