sensation will be caused.

grand jury for election frauds and as
saults, it is said, are election district
captains in the eighteenth, sixth, ninth,
fourteenth, thirty second, thirty third
and thirty-fifth assembly districts

Hearst Is Bitter.
William R. Hearst says evidence has
been collected against twelve Tammany
district leaders. Two or three Of them,
MI. Hearst believes cannot escape i'm
prisonment on the evidence obtained.
Mr.. Hearst talked bitterly about his
defeat, and said that, before he got
thru he would shake Tammany hall
from top to bottom.
n'There is no doubt whatever" said
Mr.. Hearst, "but that [ will be able
to bring these election frauds home to
high, Tammanny officials. I am getting
plenty of evidence every day, and nu-
merous affidavits come in every mail,
from foes as well as friends. If i
had had fair chance there is no doubt
but that my plurality would have been
fully 10000. I know for a fact that
S,l39 ballots which were marked in
names were not counted. The condi-
tions in this city now are every bit
J as bad as in Tweed's time.''
