It comes them because James OBren has opposed
their infamous cOrruptons for years. ana me- WIN
has brought ruin down upon them He has been charged
with all sorts oenses Of which no Is entirely innocent
When lie ran for Sheriff they undertook 10 lnpusn ms
character Some OF his friends then answered tbe
charge made against him. and although they were then
answered, these charges again made now.
What is the career OF James OBrien Z Then 1t was
that he undertook break down that cursed ring tnat
has been a scOurge of this city, the Tanmany KING re
organized an opposition to that Ring Iamnany, by
means bribery procured the passage OF chaIter Hhlch

nent reform. Mr.. Tweed when Interviewed Dy re-
porter. said that he had offered Mr. % Brleh laIie

Mr. Roosevelt said to the Committee Of Seventy that he
found James OBrien bearing the brunt OF the battle or

him By not paying his bills shern-sad tuey were eA-
obitant. But other bills, carpets, furniture elcp were
paid ~ very large amounts. II.
