solemn. The executioners are mem
bers Of this Board. Democrats are
slaughtered here. The party is as

The Evening Express howls to-

'sThe deed has been done. The

and Roscoe OonkIing, backed by
Benefits corruption fund, has pre-
vailed Corruption Is now triumph

er, elected by a corrupt combination
with Republicans, has now car
ried out the terms Of worse
arrangement than he was elected
upon, turned traitor to his party
once more, committed an act Of per
hdy for which thero Is no name, and
placed unfit men in the most i'm
po,tant municipal Offices, dividing
tue patronage of the ody govern
meht for the next two years among
his own favoites and those Of Conk
ling Cooper ami corruption will
henceforth be synonymous terms
The city has been sacrificed by just
such a combination as that which
placed the Tweed ring in power.
That four Tammany Democrats
voted for the Cooper Conkliug nom
inees shows how desperate we're the
means taken by the unprincipled
managers to carry out the terms OF
the bargain and deliver what had
been sold. These men have taken q
responsibility which is greater than
they can bear They have burned
the brand into their own foreheads.
