OF Political Reform:-
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, CITY HAIL.
NEW YORK. March 7, 1873
To Messrs W. p BENsEL SAMUEL HALL, DAVID M.
EARL JOHN II. SEAMAN and FRANCIS THURBER:-
GENTLEMEN-It gives me great pleasure to meet
you, and to thank you for the f1atterng reference
you have made to myself in the resolutions of the
Ninth Ward Council OF Political Reform now sub
United to me.
to the Importance OF the present crisis in our city
affairs, and rightly judge That some remedy should
be provided by the present Legislature for the I'm
prOvement OF our condition. This feeling Is not
confined solely to your constituency, but pervades
the whole community outside of the cliques and
clans connected with the frauds Of the past and
those which claim to control the present dominant
party to extend these frauds into the future Now,
gentlemen of the committee, having for long
this community who desires the continued success OF
the republican party more than myself or who would
more deeply regret the adoption OF any measure
calculated to impair its influence and defeat the
objects which 1t was expected to accomplish But
l confess to fear that II the charter which the
Assembly has passed should become q law it Will
disappOnt the expectations OF the public, and that
As read that charter it simply gives to few
unprincipled politicians the power to farm out the
right to impose and collect taxes from our citizens
without limit and without responsibility, by giving
the right OF fixing salaries and controlling jobs to
those who bid high enough to obtain them.
You are aware of the oblOquy which attached to
the name OF the publican" party which existed in
the early days Of Christianity, when Judea was
under Roman rule, ana who were invested with
simila~ functions. But can assure you that II the
republican party snall far initiate that example
as to invest any cOtere with the power by such
legislation as 1t may dictate to impose taxes upon
the people, by authorizing such eXtravagant eX-
pendtures In jobs and salaries, as to rob them Of
their hard earnings in the future in the same man.
ner as has been done in the past and disappoint
the people in their present expectations OF relief
by its elevation to power, the days OF that party
will soon be numbered and its memory be exc
Grated by every honest member OF society for all
time to come. Very respectfully, your Obediept
servant, WILLIAM +. HAVEMEYER
