lecture the edifce OF the political prosperity OF
this city was to be raised-under that OF Havemeyer
or O'Brien. Said the speaker, your universal con

meyer, who during all his political life has been
ever true ever efficient, ever powerful. The

Counsel, than for the Executive OF this city. The
legal profession had already contributed one OF its
members to that office, and he submitted that they
had better delay putting forward another until

In which everybody had reason TO feel the utmost

SPEECH OF JOSEPH b. vARNCM.
Mr.. JOSEPH b. VARNUM was next introduced. IL was
not, he said, great many years ago since we went
into an election something similar to thls with
Wood Opdyke and Havemeyer as the candidates.
Havemeyer was then elected, as he would be now.
The point to gain then was to beat Wood. He (the
speaker) did not stand there to say anything
against Mr.. Lawrence. But Mr. Lawrence had
never been tried and after the terrible crisis they
had passed through, the Committee OF Seventy
were not disposed to urge anything doubtful. IT a
man were recommended who was surrounded by
the worst class OF politicians they would blame the
Committee. 1t was better in crisis like this to be
beaten than that this should occur. Some of them
would be prepared to dispute about Mr. Lawrence;
but we should judge OF man by his company. 1t
could not be said that Tamnany was reformed.
