Mr.. Hearst, who charges bribery and
ballot juggling by Tammany officials,

ton. Bird S. Coler, the victorious

borough of Brooklyn, declares he can
invalidate enough Mcclellan ballots in
Brooklyn alone to seat Mr.. Hearst

Hearsts attitude is only that of dis
gruntled and defeated man and call
his statement an "audacious published
threat of the defeated candidate to
overthrow the will of the people,
Upon the candidacy of Mr.. Jerome

many. His victory after fight against
such great odds is the spectacular fea-
ture of the election.
