The following address from the Nominating Con-
vention was presented by Mr.. JORDAN. We be-
speak for it the earnest scrutiny OF every Tax
Payer and Laborer Of our City:
To The Democratic Wze Electors Of The CITY and County
ofNeo York
FELLOW CITIzEss-The General Committee for
Nominating Mayor and Aims House Commissioner
have proceeded to the discharge OF that duty deeply
nnpreensted with the importance Of the subject In
behalf Of themselves they have only to say that their
endeavors have been to promote the public good and N
presenting to you the names Of WILLIAM v BkApi
for Mayor, and JOSEPH r. TAYLOR for Alms-House
Commissioner they feel confidence that their proceed
ings will be sanctioned By the voice OF enlightened and
patriotic freemen Mr BRADY 10 private life is without
reprosch as public his minute knowledge Of sll
the concerns of our City and particularly It's nnancs
asars-his sincere desire for sautary reform his en-
lehtened and faithful service In the Common Council
as tho Representative of the Fifteenth Ward ample
guaranty of bis fitness for the more responsible duties Of
the Msyoraty Mr. TAYLOR has often been honored oy
the confidence of hs fellow citizens and In various pub
lie capaces has deserved and received the appreciation
fbis constituents Should these candidates be elected
their past history and present position promise well tor
the future.
Prodgalty in our City Expenditures seems to have
become the order OF the day. II is indeed time for the
People to awaken and if mistake not the signs Of the
times the coming contest will prove that they have
awakened glance Of existing facts cannot fail "a
show that the aim and end Of those who have the City
Government in their hands to minister TO their own
tifcston and reward mercenary psrtizans Our ex
nenses have increased and are still increasing with
alarming rapidly The tide OF corruption is rolling in
heavily upon u.s. and unless ts progress is arrested must
Lead TO bankruptcy and ruin Our public debt is epor
mons The funded debt Tor the ultimate redemption Of
which sinking fund Of but doubtful reliability Is ere
sted amounts TO Sl45sO19l. There is also farthei
funded debt redecmabe by taxation alone 10 the amo1n
of s25OOOO: and the Common Council have power IN
Der the act Of the Legislature Of May lsi6 to create
su farther debt of $4,000 to be funded and redeema
Bile by taxation making aggregate indebtedness eN
ceedipg fifteen millions Of dollars. Upon the first an In
terest over and above the standing revenues applicable
TO that purpose the amount Of 100000 to be amt
sly raised by taxation and beside this the interest
pncipe of the funded dctt already created and TO b.
created under the act OF May 1876 redeemsbe By
taxation. -
These together with the annual amounts raised io
Common Schools State taxes former deficiencies, ans
the ordinary expenses OF the City Government amour
10 the exhorbant sum of s252Ol9 a. TO be raised BY
direct annual taxation about twothrds Of the whole be
ms CITY expenses Those expenses amount TO sl'132
GA annually and rapidly increasing as will sppes
! by a comparison Of the present With the past
Let us take for example the year 1912, under WINS
Council and lsiG when our opponents were IN power
