MORE WATCHERS NEEDED.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; Tammanys only hope OF success at the com
ing city election is by fraud and violence at the
polls. TO prevent such outrage more watchers
for the Republican party needed. Business
men living uptown where elections straight
should come down town and along the waterfront
where election work is crooked.
the best places for such men TO serve as watchers
are IN the districts where their place OF business
situated. Such watchers could render signal ser
vice To the fusion cause. They know many OF the
faces or the local residents aud through their ac-
gualntance with business neighbOrs could easily
learn about some OF the suspicious hangers-on at
the polling places.
Volunteers are needed this year more than ever

over night, as he had been in the habit
of doing for some time past. He SEEM
