this city was in deplorable condition. There
was no connection between the central asso-

ganization. If there had been an executive
committee two months ago we would have
had Mayors election this June. The Repub-

this city for perhaps the next nifty years: The
Democratic party was now dead, and will
never come 10 life II we organize properly.
