MONEY TO HUNT REPEATERS.
XxTH DISTRICT-TAMMANY IN
TIMIDATION.

Captain F. Norton Goddard last night at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel announced that $4,000 had
been placed at his disposal to be used re-
wards for the arrest OF criminals or for evidence
leading to the detection of crimes against the
franchise In the XXth Assembly District, In
which he lives.
THE excessive registration in the XXth dis
trict is due to some extent to colonization. said
Captain Goddard.
"As an example of how things are. take
certain corner in Thrd-ave., where there are
thirty-five men registered from one Raines law
hotel The average number of guests in that
building which is four stories high and built on
a 25-foot lot, is twelve Right across the
street, on the opposite corner. is another Raines
law hotel where we have information there
are to be sixteen men registered Nine of them
have already registered. These men come from
such places as No S5 Elizabeth-st- and No 81

''I am glad 10 say that a man living in the
XXth Assembly District has put up $4,000 to
nav for rewards and for evidence leading to the
detection of crimes against the franchise and
to nav for prosecuting the cases. am to dis
pose Of this fund.- and I hope I shall not have
to spend any of it; but if all the criminal voting
that is planned for is actually perpetrated the
fund will not be anywhere near adequate.
Lots of householders in our district are IN

If it becomes generally known that they are go
ing to vote for the Republican candidate. they
are visited right off by the Health department,
the RuiIding Department the Fire Department,
and all kinds of extraordinary repairs are or
dered on their houses. To-day two storekeep-
ers who were thought to be Republicans, have
been visited by the police, who have ordered
them to take in their showcases. Their neigh
bors who are thought to be Democrats, are al
lowed to keep their showcases out.

Every poolroorn policy shop and evil resort Of
every kind pays its tax TO the Iammany Iuno.

HANNA REPLIES TO BRYAN.

BRIBERY IS FALSE AS HE'LL"

BRIBERY IS FALSE AS HE'LL"
Lincoln Neb, Oct Ex-senator Hanna spoke
at some length in the Opera House here to-
night, taking up the silver and anti-imperialism
issue and finally referred to the charges which
he said had been recently made by Mr.. Bryan
that the Republican campaign managers had
entered upon extensive systems of bribery in
order to secure the election OF the Republican
ticket.
In regard to that statement" said Senator
Hanna, before audience in Lincoln. Il want
to hurl it back in his teeth and tell him it is
false as hell When it comes down to personali-
ties am willing to stand before the American
people on my record business man, and let
him stand on his. I have been in business forty
years; 1 am employing six thousand men, pay
the highest wages, treat them like men, and they
all respect me- and when Mr.. Bryan or any other
man charges upon me-and am willing to APP
propriate it all. 1 am chairman Of that Board
of Managers of this Republican campaign-any
such methods as those. propose, as said. to
hurl it back and denounce him as demagogue-
in his own town"
Senator Hanna then referred Mr.. Bryan's
alleged reference to him as a labor crusher,
made first during his Senatorial campaign in
1897, and continued:
1 want to remind every man that a man who
in contest will drag honorable name into
the mire for the sake of making votes IS not
worthy TO be considered for the high office Of
President Of the United States. And l believe
that there thousands of people in the state
of Nebraska who resent 1t as an insult 10 thelr
intelligence and their ideas Of fair play and
justice: because when a man has the oppor-
tunity through newspapers or from the public
rostrum TO make charges too trtfing to De de-
MED, and those charges go undenied and enter
into the minds of the people whom the man so
charged has opportunity 10 see, saw any
