Mr. S. L. WooDFoRD was introduced, and said thai
we all but lost our faith in Democracy, in its con.
troll Of our cities when we see bad men controlling
caucuses, packing conventions and outcountng when

tie same right Government that would
permit this was growing weak. Tuere was stlll az
other why Mr.. Wood should be opposed. A

Our city hsd been governed so long by corrupt msn
that the Treasury had really become dsplsted, and
the city government almost bankrupt. As had bssn
