When Devery's remarks were reported TO
Justice Jerome the latter laughed heartily. He
had looked somewhat tired and worn from the
oamraign Of last week when he first arrived
al his East Side headquarters, but Devery's
remark appeared TO cheer him oonsiderab bly,

TAMMENY'S BIG CORRUPTION FUND.
-FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS TO EACH DISTRICT ITO
GET THE VOTE oUT' on ELECTION DAY.
-Four hundred dollars 10 an election district
is the unprecedented sum which Tammany has
set aside with which TO man the polls and get
out its vote on Election Day. Never has Tam
many had half the money for campaign that
il possesses this year. -Four hundred dollars a
district means the enormous sum Of S360,0o0
as a corruption fund one week from to-day.
Hitherto 500 10 the election district has been
regarded as ample 10 get out the vote. Two
thirds Of the $400 viii be used 10 buy promises
Of votes
The election law viii prevent any marking OF
ballots for Identification, but the Tammany cleo
lion district captains viii probably trust 10
luck 10 get the promised vote after paying
over the money. There is every prospect OF an
attempted wholesale debauchery Of the voters
IN the poorer districts. The fusonists are count
ing on spending about $40 or $50 to an election
district, and are not at all certain OF getting
mat much. That sum can be expended for ca b
hire in getting invalids and cripples 10 the polls
Anything above 800 10 an election district

propriated by the Tammany election district
captains, who once a year at least emulate
Richard Croker in working for their pockets all
day long.
