SIR: Your brief editorial yesterday, under
the significant title, Tammany Republicans" contained
a quotation from late letter OF mine in answer to
communication from "a Reader"-supposed to be p C.
Van wyek, Assessor Of the Fourth Distrct-wherein
aver that with Republicans who opposed TO the
Tammany Ring Republicans You seem to think that
must know these Tanmany Republicans, and intimate in
your article that l ought to give their names. As
shrink from performing plain duty do not hest
tate for a moment in saying that Henry Smith, Police
Commissioner and Chairman Of the Executive Committee
Of the Republican state Central Committee, yce-Presi-
dent OF Tweeds Americas Club and officer OF the Demo
cratic Blossom Club is one of these Tammany Republic
cans and that party never successful in
the Empire State while Smith Is enabled to pedde the
secrets of the State Central Committee to Boss Tweed
don't hesitate say that Mr. Kingsley and the delegates
from the list Assembly District Republican Association
are owned by Smith; that Mr. p c. Van Wyck, Assessor
OF the WITH District (Which Office he has held for
years, TO the exclusion OF better MANI, has al
WAYS been, and is, ThurlOw Weed-Smith Brennan

ecor Of Internal Revenue, and OF the Finance Commit

publican; that John ID. Costa, Tammany Republican
Police Clerk, and Andeas Wmann are associates 4I te
above Tammany Republicans; that o. W. Brennan, Hugh
Hastings James Kelly and hosts OF others are good TAM
many Republicans and that long they continue TO
play into hands ~ the Tammany King there Is no
hope OF the Republican party securing in this
State would be better If the next State Convention
would put the political control Of this city so far as the
Republican party concerned, into the hands OF Juna
with power TO make appointments and run the machine
rather than 10 continue councils these pronounced
inJnb;tabis hangers-on OF Boes Tweed Sweeny Hall

ector Of the PORT, IA has been inmated by James Is
Taylor through his Journal The Times, aud Hugh Hast
