Some Of the Tammsny organs and their
allies arc endeavoring TO shield Hoffman from
the damaging effect Of the enormous taxation
under his administration = Mayor Of the city,
BY claiming that he has vetoed some Corpora
tion jobs and that tho expenditures Of the city
commissions are not under his control This
Il AL balderdash. Pollak has told us Of the
nan "who stole the livery Of the court Of
Heaven TO serve the. devil in" and every intel
ligent citizen Of New York knows that the
Puritanical cant Of veto messags Il valueless
when the Mayor puts his ohacial signature %
every warrant drawn against The public tres
sury, and when, without that signature, not !
single dollar could be obtained by the cor
poration robberA Tho expenses Of some Of
the political commissions fastened upon the
city may be heavy enough bat the fact re-
mains that the cost Of the municipal govern
ment uuder Hoffman, excluding the police,
Health Board and othsr important items now
embraced In the commlssions, l. many millions
higher than the whole municipal expenditure,
including oil those departments, under any
former Mayor, except probably, in the last
year Of Gunther's administration. N
There is an old saying TO the effect that .
man b judged BY the company he keeps.
Nothing Is better known than the fact that
every Corporation ring Il to be found on the
side Of Hoffman. The Supervisors' ring has
become notorious throughout the country for
the infamous Court House job, by which over .
million Of money has already been stolen from
the pockets Of the taxpayen Every member
Of that ring Is the warm advocate Of Hoffman's
reelection. There Is "ring" in the Board Of
Aldermen, whose whole business is to put
through jobs Of all descriptions with money
in them, and every member Of that ring Is In
favor of Ho6man's reelection. There is .
.ring" Of Councilmen, who do all manner Of
stealing, large and small, who are willing to
pick up penny belonging to anybody else
wherever they can hnd Il, and who combine
the qualifications Of Dick Turpin and Charley
Bates in their own persona Every member Of
that ring Is friendly to HofKman's success
There 10 Tanmany ring Of leaders, who
exercise sort Of supervision over the Corpo-
ration pickings and stealinss generally; who
control all the city patronage, make AL the
nominations, build up whatever tools hey
plssse, knock down whatever candidates do
mot happen TO suit them, rule the affairs Of
every ward with rod Of iron, assume 10 speak
for the whole democratic party, and divide The
lions share Of the spoils among their own se-
lect circle. The members Of this ring gave
Hoffman bis nomination, packed the city con-
vention that nominated him, and are lAboring
with all their power for his election.
No person who understands the reputation
Of these several rings win seriously believe
that they would give their support TO any cam
didase who was not 10 be relied on as IN ally.
They have reaped rich harvest ont or two
years OF Ho6msn's mayorslty, and as they are
not famous for their modesty, 1t Is cert ain that
their demands upon him for tho next two
years, in case they should succeed in electing
him, will not be less pressing than they have
been In the past The probability b that the
expenditures Of the city government next year
would be ave or six millions moro than the
present year II Hoffman should be reelected
BY the votes Of the several rings whose candi-
date he Ii.
In view Of these facts the taxpayers Of the
city will hesitate before they cast their votes
in unison with the Tammany and Corporation
rings Indeed, It now seems likely that .
grand rally will be made by the respectable
portion Of the community after all upon Oar
ling, despite the treachery Of the Times and
Tribune, and that an earnest effort may yet be
made to elect him over the heads Of bosh Wood
and Hoffman, ~ the safest and most trust
worthy Of the three candidates Such move
ment y the only chance lsft for defeating
Wood, who will beat Hoffman out OF sight
and al who regard Wood as IN unit man for
Mayor Of the 6rst city In the Union should
give their votes to Darling, as tho best means
Of defeating the Mozart nominee. A grand
rally upon Darling by the respectable voters
In body may yet save rs from either the nine
million administration Of the magnificent rascal
with the white mustache or the twsnty-four
million administration Of the Puritan ring
master with the brown. -
p. S.-The interest in this fight Of the
factions ID heightened, and the prospect Of .
good result brightens, with the nsmination
hast night Of John II. Anthon for Mayor by the
Democratic Union Conglomerate party. Now,
gentlemen, come on. ss M
