Hard Work for statesmen to Keep Harry
Rile, Out Of jail on Election, Da,

Harry Riley of 81 Bowery was held for
examination Yesterday in the Essex Market
police court charged with perjury on COM
plant Of one Of Supt. McCullagh's deputies.
1t is alleged that he made "a false affidavit
TO Supt. McCullagh to the effect that he
had signed a challenge paper at the polls
on last election day. On that occasion
he is alleged TO have allowed another man
to vote on his name.
Several Tammany politicians we're in
court in Riley's interest. Martin Engel
Samuel Kahn, proprietor of the Occidental
Hotel, and Morris Brockman offered them
selves a. surety and were rejected by Mag
strate Crane, who said he would exercise
his privilege and take forty-eight hours
TO consider the matter Of bail. Fearing
that they might lose Riley's vote, the Sulh-
vans deposited 500 cash with the City
Chamberlain and secured his release
Lawrence MulliGan, one of Big Tim Sulh-
vans retainers, was arragned Yesterday
before Judge Mcmahon in General Sessions
on an indictment for inducing Illegal regis
tration The complainantwas Joseph Morton
of 276 Forsyth street, who said that Multi
gan had got linn TO register in the Seven
teenth election district of the Sixth Assem-
bly, district. Mulligan wa, held in 81 900

John Nolan, a mine worker who came
here recently and put up at the Standard
Hotel, OK Bowery. pleaded guilty yes

Sessions To having registered when he
hadn't been long enough IN the State. He
said he did il at the behcst of man named
Quinn, who gave him 81, The Judge sus-
pended sentence.

of the arrests are the result of the stupidity

money to be used in swaying public senti-

there is more than 81 vote for every man.

The Addicks Republicans have $50. 600

About s?U.voO of this money has gone to
Sussex county, where the white foatcrs

About $4,000 remains in Kent county.
where the Democrats have a fine organiza-
tion up against State senator j. Frank
Alice, the Addicks leader i'm lower Della
ware, and a business partner of the million
aire gas man. Democrats and Regular
Republicans are working hard to snow
under Alice, believing that his defeat will
mean the elimination of Addck- from
Delaware. The Democrats are making
strong claim, that they have wrested prac-
tiCally Kent and Sussex counties from
Union Republican control and that Addcks
Is beaten on. of his boots.
Guards are stationed tonight on every

tered negroes in keu' county are realizing
that they hold more than the balance of
