sure that Mr.. Goff was receiving the protec-

Mr.. Tyler, who is New York lawyer, has
had the license fee here raised to 81 ,0oO'
the highest in the State, and secured the

saloon area to the business part OF town
Mr. Goff is outside of this district and has
twice failed to get license. Mr.. Bullock
is now seeking a denomination to the Coun-
Gil and is opposed by the Republican ma

WhO've . Right to Vote.
The action Of Joseph F. Prendergast,
the Tammany leader Of the Fifth Assembly
district, in applying to the Supreme Court
to strike from the list OF enrolled
voters of the district about 900 names has
aroused great deal Of indignation among
the men who are supporting George s.
ONeil, who. backed by William Astor
Chanler, is seeking to oust Prendergast
from the leadership of the district.
1t is asserted by the leaders Of the William
Astor Ghanler Association that Prendergast
is seeking to have stricken from the rolls
the names Of men who are known to be in
favor OF O'Neil's election because he fears
the result Of the primary election: When
the orders which have been obtained by
Prendergast come up for consideration
BY the Supreme Court, the O'Neil men say
they will prove that the allegations Of
Prendergast are baseless.
