Theo» : dore Cuyler and Others. ‘The citizens of Brooklyn turned out en masse Jast evening, despite the pelting rain and unin- viting condition of the state of aifuirs, meteorologi- caily speaking, to express their Indignauon seainst the alleged frauds perpetrated upon the ballot im the election of Tuesday last. The Academy of Music, the rendezvous of the denunclators of the Outrage, Was crowded to excess from pit to dome fully ati BouP before the “opening of the ball,’ whieh 4 not take place until eight o’clook. ‘ mage was-also crammed by tne leading Vghts of the republican party of Kings county and whe defeated candidates of botn the “reform” republican factions. In the body of the house were hundreds of democratic Politicians, and it was whispered on every site that the elements for a lively row were certainly on hand, whether they were developed in the course of the “big talk” or not. subjoimed 1s a copy of the call which was very extensively circulated throughout (Me city during the da: CITIZENS aROUSE! Shall the clective franchise be defended or aban- doued? Taminany tactics in Brooklyn. ‘The elec- ted candidates counted out. The voters of King’s county, who are determined to overcome the enor- mova frauds which were peroctrated in this city on Tuesday last, and to bring the authors to justice, @re tnvited to assemble en masse at the ‘Academy of Music, this evening, Prominent among those who occupied seats on the platform were noticeable Mr. Henry E. Bowen, ex- Mayor Booth, Colonel Robert Johnstone, Nelson G. Shaurmarf, James Weaver, Colonel Thorpe, Super- visor Harman, ex-Mayor Lambert, Joseph Reeves, Frank G. Kirby, Dwight Jonnson, 8. B, Chittenden, General Jourdan, Josepn J, Couch, Judge Tenny and A, E. Goodnow. When tne full force of the gashgnt was taroed on and Mr. W. W. Goodrich came forward on the stage a loud and continued outburst of applause arose from the muititudc assembled, and swelled again at the mention of Mayor Kalbfeiscl’s name as presiding officer of the meeting. SPEECH OF MAYOR KALBFLEISCT. Mayor Kalbfeisch on coming forward was received with tremendous cheering. When silence had been restored the speaker stepped to tne front and in a very determined tone addressed the multitude. In ; the commencement of his observations he tendered | his heartfelt thanks for the warm and generons feception accorded to hin. This, he sald, was & momentous occasion, bunt =the elective franchise, which the citizens of the United Btates should hold dear, was being wrested from them by men who had violated the trast reposed m them. Ithad been alleged that frauds had been committed, ana the returns from the different dis- | tricts proved conclusively that sumething was wrong. That fact was apparent to all who cared 10 examine into the matter. The Mayor then dwelt severely upon the course the Inspectora of Election bad pursued, remarking that many a man had been bung upon circumstantial evidence, and that tne evi- dence in this case was go very strong that the rope should have been furnished to hang them. This on- servation was received with thundering cheers, The | Mayor seemed to feel pretty good, and, advancing Ike Don Cwsar, toward the footlights, stated that there was a time when a citizen of the little republic of Rome boldly deciared his citizenship; but could an American go abroad at the present time and gain respect in face of the siatements presented in reier, ence to the frauds perpetrated at the recent eiection? The counting business was not by any means a novel thing to him. Te had had some experience in that lie, and if ne had Dot been wide awake they would have counted him out in the year 1:67. Je was then set up for the eee of being knocked down, (Great laughter) (he Mavor proceeded to comment upon the rascall- $ies which characterized the recent election, and eal aiverted to a contest in which he was the opponent of Mr. Archy Bliss. The time had arrived when ali such glaring evils must come to an end, Electioneering frauds would henceforth have bat lite support; for when the people were aroused to a sense O! their duty it was retty certain that the knaves must go to {ue wall, fhe speaker, With some humor and not a littie sar- casm, adverted to the results ag recently returned in some of the election dis- tricts, showing that in numerous instances tlegal votes had been cast. Hoe also enumerated several cases in the elecilons of years past wherein, so far as certain districts were concerned, the votes re- turned exceeded the number oi residenta in the wards mentioned. The Mayor wound up his oration by ovserving that it was time the Legislature changed the municipal government entirely. He advocated the abolishing of commissions, and after fing the members o1 the Water Board a piece of is mind, not forgetting the Fire Commissioners, Mr. Kalbfleisch retired amid enthusiastic cheers. Mr. BENTON, the secretary of the meeting, then read a very lengthy list of names, prominent and influential citizens of Brooklyn, who acted as Vice Presidents upon the occasion. These names were accepted wiih applause by the audience, SPEECH OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY BENJAMIN FP, TRACY. Mr. Tracy then arose and spoke as follows:— Mr. CHAIRWAN AND FELLOW CrTIzENs—Having been appointed chairman of a committeo at the Meeting held at Commonwealth Hall yesterday morning to investigate the alleged frauds that have been perpetrated at the recent election, ana having an almost continuous session of that commit. tee from the time of its appointment unt the present, Mr. Chairman, I shall confine myself in the few remarks which I shall submit to thia meet- ing to a report of the evidence or the facts which have come to the knowledge of that committee showing how frauds have been perpetrated at the | supposed that one poll cierk Keeps tne tal. ballot box during the recent election. On the even- ing of election, Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, those of us who were scanning the returns of the election as the reports came in from the Third, Tweatieth, Seventh, Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fit- teenth, Tenth and Ninth wards, and. in fact, all tho wards where we had @ guarantee of an honest and fair efection, those returns indi. cated that the feeling and sentiment of an aroused people, which had swept over the city of New York and over the state of New York, had veen fett also In Brooklyn—applause)—and wo beheld in the increased vote against the democratio party evidence (he to satisfy us all that the county of Kings bad been swept by an aroused people determined to place the government of its city in the hands of honest and upright ofmiciala, (Applause-) By ten o'clock these returns had been Feceived from 0 many various quarters as wo thought fairly tndtcatea the resuit ie elec. ton, There remained substantially only the ales second, Sixth and the Twelfth Wards 5 heard from, There was 4 silence ‘rom thore wards, it 19 true, that was ominous; ‘US We thought we had heard returns from those Wards betore, and as they bad not imereased in FeRiiation We thought they had done their worst in 0. Giving them the utmost that they contd posst- bly claim, the highest majorities that those wards bad ever been known to give before, we could count Roerrae the election of every man upon our city the it, except, Possibly one, and the majority on Hea caunty leket. But at last we had news Gratien yoecond Ward indicating @ vote, a demo- caine tidings from the Filth ward indicating a democratic Majority of over three thousand, @ knew then ab had hei at work in those wards, an ve were feu: ing their result. Soon attor came tudings from a single district tn the Sixth ward indicating a majority on the 1,000 in a single district in (| Ags gf aE Udings {rom the Twellth ward, and when we got them in late (bat night we found that in every be of those wards {ust about one thousand deme NEW YORK #ERALD, SATURDA eratic votes had, been added tw the highest ma- Joriiies that those wards had ever been known to give. "The uniformity of that increase from nine to ten hundred in each ward was very suggestive that somebody had made a careful cal- caiation as to the precise number of votes needed to swamp the county and city tckets, and those returns have been made to order, (A voice— "That's 80.) Belore the next morning the evidence of fraud in the election had become overwhelming, and it was deteruiined that the candidates who tnd been counted out in this election should meet to devise means, not only of redressing the wrong that had been done to tem as representatives of the citizens of this county, but the wrong that had been done to the entire city of Brooklyn and the entire State of New York, and to every one who 1s interested in the pers petuity of free inatatutions, (Applause.) That meeting was heli and a committee was appointed first to call this meeting to-night, and another com- mittee was appointed, of Which | had the honor to be named chairman, to gather up tue muiutudinous evidence of the frauds and the violence that had been committed at the bal'ot box on Tuesday last. {At this point ex-Mayor sooth entered on the stage ana was received with tumuitous applause.) I will briefly recapitalate, Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, all these frauds, and | begin first by calling your attention to the increased vote of ts county as evidence to prove the assertion whicn your chair- ™man has made, and the assertion which I repeat and am prepared to prove in any Court of law, that popes walked about the streets of this city on Tuesday Seas gta of from ten to fifteen, and voted at every iM certain wards of this city, wherever they pleased—voted with the knowledge and cynsent im most instances and by the actual our police im many tostanves, wit ous fear of succesaful con: 1 10,000 alle led at the recent election in the geet Brooklyn. (Applause.) Last yeur was a guberna- tortal waleotlon. Everybody is familiar with the fierce contest thas ran through this city at that election. only did the democracy have upon their ket the nome gf John T.

We haa a full vote. In the wi which I have alladed we had an enormous }, a8 I said before, we thought those wards their worst against the re sir, at that election, fiercely cont ‘at a8 Was the vote polled at that elec! 5 re Dut about filty-nine thous sand votes polled’ @ tne county of Kings, At this election there are nearly seventy thousand votes polled, an tocrease of 10,000 votes over the last election, whereas, 100gi0g by the rules that or- @inarity prevall at elections, there would nave been aless votes: ag this year than were ed “New, I say that the majority of 10,006 additional votes are the work of repeat- Ing done on Tuesday fast in this city, and as an evi- dence how 1t was dome, I.propose to call your atten- uon to nine el istricts im jour different wards in this city, In election district No. 2, in the Second ward, there Were polled last year, 355 dem: cratic votes. Thi® year there were polled democravic votes @f we are to beileve those vassers), an increasé Of about 11s per cent. Does any man in nis common sense belleve that this 1s a truthful record of the increase of the votes of that ward? And yet there was no decrease of the re- publican vote. In the Bighth district of the Fifth ward there were polled last year 250 votes; this year 403 democratic votes, or an increase in the democratic vote of sixty percent. In tne First dis- triot of the Sixth ward there were polled last year 728 democratic votes. and this year it ts alleged there were polled 1,152 democratic votes. In the First district of the Elgiin ward = Jast year there were 246 democratic votes p.lled; this year 424 democratic votes. In the Second district of the Ninth ward there were 290 last year and this year they preiend to Nave polled 458 democratic votes. Inthe Fifth district of the Twelitn ward there were polled 233 democratic votes last year, and this year there is claimed to have been polled 601, or an increase of 114 per cent. In the Stxih district of the Twelfth ward there were 482 democratic votes last year, and this year it Is allegea there were polled 340 democratic votes, Does anybody believe Unat this ts not the work of fraud and perjury and corruption? ‘The evidence 18 too palpable, and here 1g an terease in nine election districts out of 127, I belicve, m the city of Brooklyn—an increase to the democratic vote of 2,720, or an average in- crease of seventy-elght per cent. It was this enor. mous increase, Mr. Chairman, that first attracted the attention of those who were scanning these re- turns, On investigaticn what do we find? I call your attention to the First district of the Sixth ward. There professes to nave been polled 1,152 democratic votes and 167 republican votes on the day of election, The impossibility of polling that number of votes has already been alluded to, but there 1s an additional fact that has come to the o knowledge of the committee. We heard that the poll ists of that district had been returned to the County — Cierk’s office yesterday, and in company with other of my fellow ‘citizeus I repaired to the Clerk’s ofMice and exawined that poll jist, On examination we found that 1t took two books to contain it. One book Was not large enough. (Laughter.) On looking mto the first book we found nve handred and odd names on that poll itat, written in a clean, uniform hand- writlag, with the eight baliota which each citizen is Supposed to have Voted at Ube election, and every one of them murked ag having voted solid for every Ring candidate, Alter that the handwriting on that poli list changed, and the balance is in a ditfer- ent handwriting. That was very suggestive; for it 1g ee his own, book. But the handwri'/ing in ‘nat poll list cnanges, and then from tuat on it bears the evidence of being @ poll list kept at an election, The writing is such as you would 6xpecs, and every now and then you find citizeas only voting ® portion of the ballots. We took th vote at the “Did you vote ut that poll on clection day? did.” “What time did you vote”? “We voted just as the poils opened and betore seven o’clock.”” We have the afidavit In our possession of a voter Who swears that he voted at that poll before seven o'clock on that morning and a very few moments after the poll openca, and yet his name stands the 528th on the list, thus demoustraung, fellow citizens, that the poll clerks ot that district deliberately wrote down five hun- drea and odd names on that poll list before the vot- ing began, and thenstuffed the ballot boxes to make the ballots correspond with the names on the list, (Hisses,) Another instance of fraud occurring in that ward in another district 18 this:—At one elec- tion district your honored candidate for County Judge, Mr. Colt—(applause)—baving been elected an inspector of election last year, declined serving this year because ho was & candidate, made an alrangement with the democratic authorities that a vacancy which bad occurred in their inspec- tors and the vacancy which was to occur by nis resignation should be flited, each naming a candi- date of thetr political party, 80 that the political status of the inspectors should not be cnanged, being two democrats and one republican. On the morning of the election he repaired to the polls with his friend whom he wanted to have appointed iuspector, and when he came theré he found that they relused to carry out the agreement and had named a democrat, making the inspectors three democrats and no republicans. Then the three demo- cratic Inspectors aud the two democratic poll clerks proceeded to business. — I will not stop to tell what transpired during the day; but at the close of the polls everybody was ordered out of the room, and they were shut up with those ballot boxes for forty- two minutes, when the doors were opened and tho public was again adinitted. Judge Coil, on goin, into the room, found the poil cierks busily engaged in checking on the poil list opposite names that had been written upon It, He asked how in the world they could tell how peovie voted so long atter they had yoted—low they fill those blanks; but they paid no attention, and kept filling up the blanks opposite those names, clearly indicating that names had peen added to the poll listing hurry, and they bad not time to fill them up aud were then filling at random. ‘Two hundred addi- tional democratic majority in that district over its usual democratic majority is the result of that fraud. Mr. Tracy asked if the men who committed the frauds shouid not be punished, Would the peo- pie be content in merely driving these democratic cauvassers to give the certificate of election to Colo- nel Morton, who was counted out in the Seaenth As- sembly district? or would they insist that the Grand Jury, the District Attorney and @ petit jury should do_ their duty? In charging we police with having connived at fraud, Mr. Tracy stated that the Alderman of the ‘lwenty-first ward had asserted yesterday that a certain police officer im that ward had voted in two diiferent precincts, and tnat hig captain was aware of it’ and dia not arrest him, He charged that an inspector in the Second ward had been approached by the Alderman of that ward with a bribe to betray the trust reposed in him, and having declined to do s0, he was at- tacked when he went to the polla bya g: of ruf- fians, who knocked him down, and then the police arrested him for betng knocked down. When the re- publicang protested the captain released him. returned to the polls and found them swearing in another man In hig place. Mr. Tracy, in reterring to the charge that the republicans had repeated at the election, sald if this was so they would pro- secute them as well as democrats, In closing he sald that the committee had other evidence in their possession which he did not think itprudent to dis- close Just now, THE RESOLUTIONS, ‘The following resolutions were then read and adopted py acclamation;— Resolved, That we, the citizens of Kin asvembied, representing all shades of political Lellefy aban. joning for the moment all those questions on which we have en accustomed to differ, have come together for the pur- one of asserting our manhood and of prociaiming before Dod, and with a deep sense of our responsibility as members of the Commonwealth, our inexorable determination to re- aalp, seour med as ie gar Tights, erolved, at the election held in this Tues last fairly reeked with infamy, and every appliance wi which rogues are familiar wad ‘used, with very general suc- cess, tu stifle the voice of the people, and aliens were permit. ted to vote, Large numbers of names of persons who dki not vote at all were added to the poll lists, “Ballots were ex- changed by inspectora and against the candicates for whom they Were given, Challengers and peaceable citizens were driven from the polis by rufli isted in thelr devilish wor!

SLOCUM. General HENRY W, SLOCUM, on being introduced, spoke as follows:— FEeLLow Citizens—I have been absent from home most of the time since the polls closed, and have known but little of what was going on. I have heard more this morning than I expected of the alleged frauds, I was invited to attend this meeting late this evening, and I came here With no intention of making @ speech, but with an earnest desire to place myself among those who de- sire not only to correct those frauds, but to punish their perpetrators, (Applanse.) I was a little sorry to hear my triend, Mr. Tracy, speak of them as democratic frauds. They may have been perpe- trated by demucrats, but I speak the truth when I say to you that I believe the [Speng mass of the democratic party will condemn em as strongiv as any man in this. house. (Ap- Plause).. He pledges nis District. Attorney to-prose- cute them | pledge bim that | will secure as much money to prosecute these frauds from democratic sources as he will from his own political friends, {Appianse), I say this because J believe that every sefsivle Gemooras, every man wno has any ambition, every man who has any property must see that it ts to his interest to condemn them, It 13 to bis interest to preserve the purity of the ballot box. (Applause.) Whenever it comes to the point that four or five men can eiect our oillcers In a back room by themselves character 1s worth nothing, and property becomes of |ittie value, You nave no hold on it. I pelieve that every sensible democrat will unite most heartily and cordially with the people who are here assembled, in prosecuting to the bitter end every man who has becn engaged In these trands, The Legislature which is about to assemble is in sympathy with the mass of this meeting. I believe that it is composed in the main of honest and good men. Let us ask that Legislature to give us jaws which will preserve the purity of the ballot-box. (Applause.) For one, I say now, as T have always sald, that you cannot make too strin- gent a registry law to sult me, (Applause.) I don’t care how stringent the law ts made. It would be better to put every man in the city to the trouble of going to some place to register his name a dozen times over than to have our mghts stolen from us through the stutling of the ballot box, (Applause.) I will join ima petl- tion, I will lift up my volce in ‘favor of the most siringent registry law that can be en- acter (Applause.) Having once secured a pure ballot, then let us make every man who handles our money come before the people. (“fhat's so!" “Good !’) Let us have none of those boards where & man can slip benind somebody else. Let them all ike our representatives in Congress and in the State pgislature be compelled to come before you where you can say “Weil done, Foot and faithtul ser- vant,”’ or else the reverse. Let the man who paves your streets or the ian Who consteucts your sew- ers come before you and submit to the same thing, Give us a chance to step up to the baliot box and say by our votes “We find that you have been an honest man.’’ Give us that and give us a pure batlot, and then Brooklyn will bea Place worth living in, aud it won’t be witnout, (Ap- Plause), Loud calls were then made for ‘‘Woodford, Wood- ford;”’ but Mayor Kalbfleisch announced that that gentleman was uot present, He introduced instead CAPTAIN A. W. TENNY, who arose and addressed the assemblage as fol- lows:— Mr. CHAIRMAN and GENTLEMEN—I am not on your list of speakers here to-night. I am here simply because Jam an American citizen and in full sympathy with this meeting. (Applause.) But as you have drafted me into the service by pulling me over the bannister I will briefly respond to the calk In the first place, I congratulate you, the citi zens of Brooklyn, for this magnificent out- pouring of our people, who have come here this in- clement night to put into shave and form their righteous indignation against the frauds of last Tuesday. (Appiause.) I furthermore congratulate the good citizens ol this city that we are here, not as partisans, but as American citizens. (Applause. ) I furthermore congratulate them that there are men here who voted for Powell for Mavor, that there are men who voted for our respected Mayor Kalbfleisch— (a volce, ‘Good !’)—and there are those here who voted for Booth for Mayor—each and all demanding the samo thing and with the same purpose, and that is that the men who have stuiled our bailot boxes, the men who have written their names) over and over ugain on the poll list shall be driven to the wall and punished for this fraud, (Appiause.) When the city of Chicago Was on fire and the forked flames were leaping from biock to block and from square to square the people of that ciiy did not stop to ask which punding it was, or whetuer it belonged to a democrat or a re- publican; bat they fought the flames inch by inch and foot by foot until God in ths infinite mercy poured out the vials of heavea and put out the flame. (Applause) So, when we are writhing in the coils of political vipers, when American Insti- tutions are on trial in thts city as they never were before, it 18 time that we came ‘as citizens to fight this thing inch by ineh, and square by square, and foot by foot. (Ap- plause.) And, what is more, we find that iittie Irishman who drew the sword at Chicago and his gallant cohorts did more. When marauders there were plundering and getupg rich out of the exigencies and necessities of that citv, what did they do? They hung them tothe lamp posts, (Ap- Plause.) And 80, when we cannot get justice In our Courts, when we cannot get justice in the Legislature, hang them! (Applause.) There is @& power greater than Legislatures and that ower 31s im the ‘majesty of the omnipotence of the people. (Appiause.) Tnink of it, Six months ago the Ring of New York city was omnipotent, Then the will of One man was the law of that city. (ttsses.) Councils and Legislatures were awed by the (pse divit ol oneman. But to-day ti Ring is broken and its supporters pow. erjiess a8 an infant in the cradic. (Ap- plause.) You have ail heard, I suppose, of Tom Ledwith, (Laughter and applause. ‘There was such a man. Little in stature, little in soul, little In princtpie and small in manhood—(laugh- ter)—this Ledwith, where ig he ¢ He Ls gone to that bourue from which no traveller like him ever re- turns. 4Laughter and appiause,) Where 1s tne whole Ring that robbed the city? They have gone down beneath the green pool of their own corruption, to rise never again—(applause)— put down there by the people and not by partisans, (Applause.) There is a lesson which the good men of the city should gather from the recent election. It is this: we should take an example from tae earnest men in New York city, We ought to have gone ito this canvass with two tickets instead of three, (Applause) We ought to have united, no matter what name headed the ticket, taking the old starry flag of the republic, and on it ‘retrenchment and refo:n’—on that we should have gone Into the canvass, (Ap- piause.) I care not who the man should be, whether our present honored Mayor, who, 1 say here asa repuolican, has been the faithful guardian of the mterests of the city and of this peopie ever since he bas been Mayor—(applause)—or whether Samuel Booth—(appiause)—I care not, Had we made a Teform wicket, a8 We Ought to have done—had we put our best men upon that ticket and gone into the fight you would not have been here. There could have been no frauds, for I teil you we wouid have carried the city by from ten to twenty thousand majority. (A voice, That's so.”") But, gentlemen, 1 find Tam making @ speech, andl Wilbid you good night. (Voices, “Go on, go on.”) SPEECH OF MR, EDMUND DRIGGS. Mr. Eamund Driggs followed and remarked that he had heard a hiss in the audience, and he had not known that there were apy geese among them until that moment. He was in favor of adopting the principle enunciated at the meeting for the war on Fort Greene, in 1861, when it was advocated that party be ignored, and that all unite in prosecuting the frauds on our last election, The democrats, he was confident, would vie with the republicans in furnishing the means to ferret ont and punish the ballot box — sturters, He held in his hand a letter from a gentleman in one of the Fifth ward districts certifying that hé had the names of sixteen citizens wii voted in said district for Mr. Kalbfeisch, whereas the inspectors had returned only one vote for him. If you guard not the sanctity of the ballot what rights have you? You have none; and the man who studs the batlot box ts worse than an assassin, a robber, or any other criminal, for he strikes at the heart of our contitutional liberty, He concluded by assuring them of his support In the contest, REMARKS OF REY. DR. CUYLER. Dr. CUYLER then spoke and said he understood that this meeting was not in the interest of any party. He would address them as a citizen and tax- payer of Brooklyn. Of the great political reform victory in New York they were cognisant, an‘ of the fact that the northwest wind of Tuesday last swept up everything there except one rank weed— Uat was Tweed, It benooved us now to 100k to our own dwelling place, We have erred quite toolongin bringing national partisan feeling into our toval governmen It was a matter of no importance What @ man’s politics were as regards the custodians of our city’s affa.rs, provided he be but honest and just. We meet the nobie democrats—Charles OConor and Mr. Tiluen—with open hands, and congratulate them for their seif-sacritice aud the taleuts they are Lestowing upon tle *.

The evil lies at the root— the primaries, which respectable men pass by un- noticed, ‘hey are sutfering now for their sins of omission, What avails it us for an honest man to 0 to the polls and vote once If a rogue can go there and voie three times?

B, Chitienden, A. A.

What Ex-Mayor Booth, General Jourdan, District Attorney Tracy and Ex-Assemblyman Gooerich Have to Say ou the Situation, THE ILECTION LAWS DEFZCIIVE, Facts and Figures for Honest Men and Repeaters Alike to Contemplate. What the People Propose Doing About It. For the purpose of ascertaming what the leading republican politicians of the usually quiet “City of Churches” think of the late election in their “village,” or, in other words, for the purpose of feeling the republican pulse of that city, a HERALD reporter called on several of the parties—leading lghts—yesterday afternoon, and had a few minutes’ conversation with each, the substance of which is given below. A TALK WITH EX-MAYOR BOOTH. A reporter of the HseaLp found Postmaster Samuel Booth, the republican candidate for Mayor, at Assessor Jourdan’s office, in Court street, and proceeded to interview him with reference to the alleged frauds. Mr. Booth did not feel like being interviewed, but sald he would not object to making a statement of facts for publication, In re- Sponse to the reporter's question Mr. sooth said:— “We charge enormous frauds and claim the election of our entire ticket. Take, for instance, the First district of the Sixth ward, where 1,319 votes are reported, 1,159 of which are for Powell. Now, that of itself ts prima sacte evidence of fraud. Our Committee of Five went to the County Clerk’s OMice yesterday and got the poll lists of the Sixtn ward, from which they found that the inspectors in the First district re- turned 500 bogus votes, The names represented are fictitious. The committee have been waited upon by crowds of mea who have given testimony in proof of fraud, The committee siteach day uatil five o’clock.’? Mr. Booth referred to the Fifth ward, and asserted that for every three inhabitants of the ward (men, Women and children) there had been one vote cast. The vote for Governor in the Filth ward last year, continued Mr. Booth, was 2,900 in round numbers, This year they reported 4,200 votes, and so on to the end of the chapter, “I tell you, sir, the people are fully aroused here, We will endeavor to get Uie Board ot Can- vassers to throw the bogus votes out, Good men, irrespective of party, are anxious to ferret out these frauds, and I understand that in the Ninth and Twenty-first wards the excitement ts intense,’” RerorTER—What for will the prosecution take, Mr. Booth? Mr. Bourn—Well, we cannot tell at present, This is our first day for taking the testimony, We will present the testimony to the Boards of Canvassera next week, The County Canvassers meet on Tues- day next. The Common Council will canvass the city Seon and the soard of Supervisors the county 1cke' Rerorter—If Mayor Kalbdetsen had not run, do you not thing, Mr. booth, that you would have been elected? Mr. bootn-—Several of the democratic leaders concede tuat I would have beaten Mr. Powell. Viere 1g Mr. Bartl (pointing to a gentiem: sitting in the rvom), who can propably tell you as much about the election as J can, STATEMENT OF AN INSPECTOR. The reporter then accosted Mr. M. ©. Earll, who Was an Inspector of Election in the Fifth district of the Twenty-first ward, and had a brief conversation with him.” Mr. Earil said:—[ know the workings of the canvass pretty weil, and I do say that, though I have heard men question the honesty of dir. Powell and Mr. Kalbfeisch during this can- vass, | have never heard anything reflecting upon Mr. Booth, In my district Powell received 156, Kaibfeiscn 201 and Booth 437 votes, and this In @ district slightly republican in majority. We polled in one district 607 votes last year and 927 votes this ear. never before saw sdch earnestness mant- ested in an election, I saw church members actually come outto the polls and peddle tickets all day—men who were never seen at such places vefore. Democrats as well as republicang say that the people will take this matter in hand, and If they cannot get redress in any other way they will organize vigilance committees and take the law into their own hands. { believe that our whole city and county ticket 1s elected by 4,509 majority, EX-ASSENBLYMAN W. W. GOODRICH. A representative of the Hea@Axp yesterday met ex- Assemblyman W,. W. Goodrich, the ‘one star’ of the republican party of the Kings county delegation in the House last year, and asked him what he knew concerning the alleged election frauds in Brooklyn on Tuesday last. He replied, saying, “Weil, air, I will be most happy to tell you, We believe that entire republican tickets of city and county officers have been elected here, and the certificate of eleo- Yon has been detained from them through an or- ganized system of repeating and frauds carried on throughout all the river wards of tue city of Brook- lyn. By the river wards { mean the wards vorder- on the river front, Fraudulent votes have been cast against the repndlican candidates, and a sys tom of ballot box stuMng has been resorted to to the extent of about five thousand votes,’ RerorreR—From which you argue—— Mr. Goopricu—That every one of the republican candidates 1s elected, For instance, the jority of Seller, democrat, for Commisstoner of Charl ties, 8 given at 1,63: a 3 t, repub- lean, for County Auditor, ts beate by only 788; Powell’s majority for Mayor, as against Booth, 18 given at 4,291 The majority against | Burrows, republican candidate fer Collector of | Taxes, was sv The majority oO O'Brien over | Shaurman, for City Auditor, is iven at 4,002, If we can show that 4,300 fraudulent, votes have been cast it will Insure the election of all the repudl didates now reported as beaten, The Committee Five are at work, actively engaged in securing testimony upon this matter, Why, my dear str, in tho First district of the Sixth ward, for fmstance, not only were re. peaters at work voting all day, but the ballot box was stuffed actually pefore the voting commenced, before sunrise, An examl- Nation of the poll Ist, now on Mle in the County Clerk’s office, shows that, frst, 500 names were written ina clear, round, clerkly hand, and not m the running way usual to an election, ‘The rest of the names are in an entirely diffe. rent handwriting, The parues whose names are written on the list, between 600 and 600, are ready to testify that they did not vote within half an hour after the opening of the polls, giving proof positive that their names were wriiten before the polls were open, During the day 1,328 votes were received in this district, Now, we charge that tt 1 & physical Impossibility to cast that number of votes during that tine, even if voting was continuous, which it was not, ‘There are persons who were present during the entire day at this polling place who state that there were lengthy intervals when no voting was ‘olng on there. Then, again, a resident of tho Hleventh ward district, Who was at a polling lace on Myrtle avenue, near Hudson, was standing in the line awalting his turn to vote when he ob- served some half a dozen repeaters standing 1n the same line, Knowing these men to be re ts of New York he asked them what business y had tere. They replied by saying, “What the hell busi+ ness have you here?” “i reside tn this district, and have a legal right to vote here,” was the an- awer. ‘We live here too,” said the gang; and with that they hustled the honest voter up to the poll and told him “to get his vote in and ciear out.” He voted and the line was again formed, and the crowd got around him, so that tt was impossible to interfere with the re- peaters, ‘This shows a regular system of repeating, to keep people from seeing what was gomg on. Itshows an organization to protect r peaters and to prevent honest yoters from inter! ing to stop fraudulent voting. At another aistrict the police were requested by citizens to arrest repeaters, and they refused to do Jn the case of Dennis Metall tt was only afier uch dimeuity that Luke Ryder su tn effect- ing the arrest of that repe: . He » hia resi- ce ag in a house in the vicinity of the polls, un- 19 Calahan, In many distri ‘ds the poling: places were inside of a smail kK room, where those outside could not see the lot boxes, ‘The ballots were handed tn through a pane of ghiss, where the burly form of a rough obscured the vision of the boxes in which the votes were to be deposited. At this juncture the interview Was interrupted by the appearance of Juage Pratt, who saluted Mr. Goodrich, aud, after the exchange of a few com- monplaet remarked, “ There is considerable of @ funeral going on here, T observe.’ Mr. Goopxicn—Weil, yes; there nag been a great deal of cheating and ballot box stung In this elec- ton, Judge Pratr—Why, tt does appear that there lias Lode Cheating, and it has been on both sides, evi- ently. Mr. Goopricr—Well, Tam for smoking It ont, no matter what side it is on. 1 say, down with re- peating. Judge Pratt—Just so; of course, In the Tturteenth ward 1s not the oan ma jority unusually large —in exceas of the average ? Mr. Goopkict—It 18 within one hundred or two hundred in excess of last election, I believe. Jake Bergen will not accept lis election, 1 feel satistiod, if he finds he has been counted tn, The Judge here withdrew. Keporrer--Mr. Goodrich, were there not reprblt- Smoke tt out, Can canvassers as Well asemocrats ? Mr. Goupk CHO, yes; but these wauds occurred at dis.rict polis where there was no reptwican tn. spector, or, if there was one, he proved false 3 party and his duty. But what I have told you only a sample of What frauds have been committed, and enough 13 Known to establish tne fact of the eleciion of many of the above repubilean candidates for office. Urgent attempts will be made to secure an honest canvass hereafter by the next Le; lature, In 1870 there was & compact tween Tweed and the republican party in the Legislature which was well understood and endorsed by ‘Tweed in a speech deliverca in the Senate in 1871, by which, as a condition of passing the New York chart the ection law should remain unchanged, aud this compa broken vy the democrats In 1871 and the registry law amended so as to prevent any person desiring, to procure an honest yote to become familar with the names on the registry lis The meeting which Will be neld to-night was not considered until yes- i. seninieaniieintneiesitaammt ae 3 and last Tueeday It was almost as much as a reptihe Hean'’s Dead was worth to be found within tts pre- cinots, Again, in one of tne districia of the First ward—the First distrtet, I believe—tie pols were situated in Atlantic sbri he ferry.

F, TRACY. United States District Attorney B, F, Tracy wae found tn his oMee about uwo o'clock yesterday after+ noon by # representative of the HERALD, Mr, Tracy announced tniself very happy to give hia views om the election and retorm questions, “Tt commences to look as though you were going to have a rather lively time of it over here, Mr. Tracy,” remarked the reporter, “Do you think you will be abie to prove all you charge against the democracy in this election business? * “Well, we are going to have a lively time of it, ana we will prove every singie charge we have made against the set of scoundrels who are ruling this city, Why, last year there were 50,000 votes cast in this county, and, 1f you remember, that wat considered @ large return, and so it was, too, for that was an exciting canvass, aud now this year we are told that 70,000 were cast, It is not even alleged that republicans have repeated, aud the demo+ cratic cauvassers allow them from 29,000 ta $2,000 votes, We claim vat there were not more than 58,000 iegal votes cast in unis county; therefore every candidate on the republican ticket is elected, In every democratic ward where re- publicans were not protected by the police—and the police protected republicans very litue, I assure you—-gangs of ten or twelve repeaters travelled from istrics vo district and voted all day, Last yeas there were 1,300 votes cast In the Second ward, and this year the democratic canvassers make It appeat that there nave been 16 cast, an Increase of seventy per cent, The Filth ward returns 1,000 more votes this year than last, The Sixth and ‘Twellth wards have done the same thing, making more chan four (housand e tra votes in these wards alone. In none of the republican wards hag {ue increase been more than five to eight per cent, Inone district of the ward the inspectors, all of democrats, refuged fo canvass the x until the next morning; they knew just | many votes they wanted to elect their caudidate—130 were put in.

UNITED STATES ASSESSOR JOURDAN. Genera! Jourdan, the United States Assessor, was. called upon by @ HERALD reporter yesterday and | asked to give his views on the situation. “I believe you republicans charge the democrats | of this city with having ‘staffed’ the ballot-boxes In | nearly every district during the election on Tuesday last. Have you proof positive that they did so, or Js it merely heresay ?”? “We have the most undeniable proof that they not only ‘stuffed’ the ballot boxes, but that they perpetrated frauds of almost every kind. They kept gangs of roughs about the polling places, who | made it their business to intimtdate republican voters In every way possible, and whea they could not do this, to forcibly eject them from the boots when they persisted in carrying out their right to cast their ballots; they gave up the boxes to this same gang to deposit as many votes as they saw ft; they refused to cauvass the batiots as required by Jaw, and in some cases did not canvass them at all until the morning after election; and—well, in | fact, they did just as they pleased. And we not only make these charges agaiust them, but we will prove them in the courts, a3 you will s09n see.” “Where do you get your proof of wiese things having been done?” “From respectable citizens all over the city, Tiere | is a committee im this very bullding now taking | testimony from persons who saw these things of | which I have told you perpetrated, and every word of this testimony is being sworn to, Besides what citizens come here voluntarily and swear to, we | have other proof equally as strong and as undenia- bie. For instance:—The Filth ward, which 15 and bas been for years solidly built up, and therefore | allows no chance fora marked tacrease In popu- returus 1,800 more votes at Uns eloc- than it did at the last, white the Twentieth ward, which contains a jarge number of vacant lots, Which are consiautiy being buiit on, shows an increase of but 140 votes. In a district of the Tweifth ward, where there were tt demo cratic inspectors, the ballot boxes were placed on a stand as high as aman’s head, and when a ballot | ‘was handed in there was no chance for tho persoa | depositing it to see what was done with it—whetner it was put in the boxes or not. In the lower por- tion of the Twenty ond ward Alderman Kich- ardson challenged a gang of seven meu whom he knew lo be repeaters, and forthwith the gang of roughs in attendance, assisied by the police, hustied hun out of tue butiding.”” | “J believe you said that in some cases the In- spectors abandoned the boxes?” “Yes, sir, Ldid, In the Sixth district of the Pour- teenth ward the inspectors, all of whom were denio- crats, abandoned thelr boxes for nearly two hours. The police on duty reported the fact to Police Head. uarlers and asked for instruc'lons, and they were directed to take charge of them; but just as they got back and were about to do so the Inspectors re+ turned. On their retura they commenced canvasa- ing the ballots, without first counting them to see | if they corresponded with tie number of names on the poll books.” “Have you proof that thera was any violejce used towards republican voters in any Cf the Waris, | ox that any of them were prevented depositiyg their | yotes by intimidation of any kind ?? “Most assuredly we haves We can 9°44 will prove by several witnesses that at the Poll, situated at tie coruer of Baitic aud Nevins sires a colored man Who persisted In depositing % straient repuolican ticket had a hanafal of fyaf unrown in hls face, aiter Which he was struc jn tne face by one of the attendant roughs; ang that turee colored men who attended him, seeing the treatment he had received, hurriedly left Without voting.’” “L have heard it said, General, that In some of the wards tne polling places were situated in such posi- tions that @ respectable inan could not very well reach them, Is this true?” “it is, Inthe Sixth ward, for instance, which 1s bounded by Atlantic avenue, Hamilton avenue, Court and Degraw streets, and the upper portion of which claims a# respectable people as any other ward In the cit je polling places were ail situated in Columbia sireet—one of the most disreputauie | localities in the city.
