FUSION SENSATION DIES
Tales of Election Fraud
Prove Groundless.

The sensational stories that have eman-
ated from the Hoboken Fusionists re-
garding alleged frauds at the Hoboken
election have appeared ridiculous to those
familiar with the recent contest in that
city. Nothing was said of 1raud on cleo
tion day or Immediately after it. 1t is
sal dthat Frederick A. Verdon, the de-
1eated candidate for Mayor, never
thought about making such a howl until
last Monday, when his political heelers,
most of whom are discarded Democrats.
explained to him that it might serve
purpose Then they looked over the re-
gistry lists and picked out three hundred
names which they presented to Prosecu-
tor Erwin Saturday morning.
One of the names picked out. it was
stated, was that of Bryan Smith, one of
Hoboken's most respected citizens. Mr..
Smith has lived in the city for fifty years
and he was at one time a candidate Tor
Mayor OF course, his name was stricken
off the fraud list as soon as the intelligent
detectives in the employ of fSthe Fusion
lists were informed who he was. Another
old resident was found on the list be-
cause he happened to be in st. Louis on
business and was registered by affidavit.
One of the startling pieces of evidence
which Lawyers Speer and Marnell have
Included in the bundle of matter connect
ed with the names they have presented
to the Prosecutor is the fact that
woman heard man say to her husband
that he had voted six times and had re-
ceived one dollar each time.
In discussing the sensation with
"News' reporter this morning an old resi-
dent of Hoboken said:-"Any person can
see that if fraud was practiced at the
polls in this city at all it was practiced
bv the Fusionists. The returns show that
the Democratic majority in all of the
wards was not more than half of what
1t should have been. In the Fourth Ward
alone. the strongest Democratic ward in
teh city, the Democratic majority was
reduced 500 in the Mayoralty contest In
the Third Ward it was reduced 1862 votes
All through the city the returns show
that the Democrats lost heavily in the
Mayoralty fight. If returns are any cri-
terion to judge by, the fraud, If any ex-'
isted must have been practiced by the
other side"

He won't ferget his friends. know

This individual and others have been,
since election, licking their lips at the
prospect of the many offices to become
the spoils of the party. There's not
clerkship in the City Han but there's at
least a score of candidates for it, and
the ward leaders are at their wits ENDS
