IL was an expensive matter TO conduct political

WHAT Mr. BUTLER AND COLONEL ROBERTS SAY
County Clerk Butler was found yesterday at his
headquarters in the Westminster Hotel converslng
with Colonel Wilian A. Roberts OH the political
situation. 81 am satisfied" he said. that IL
ticket is placed in the field which will unite the OPP
position against the ticket just named by the Demo-
cratic factions 1t will be elected by $4,000 major
ity. This is on the basis Oh loo,ooo
votes being cast, and 1 think there
will be that number refused 10
allow NV name to go before the County Democracy
Convention as a candidate because was opposeu
TO dealing with Tammany Hall; Inc county
Democracy was organized on the basis OF opposl-
TO Tammany Hall and the bOSslsm when prevails
there, and this sentiment will be found 70 pre-
vail with very large number OF Demo
Gratis who have acted with the County Democracy
since it was organized. l do not believe that the
people of this city will vote to place IN the Office OF
County Clerk man VINO can scarceIy VIII WINS MS
own name, and who represents the worst elements
in politics." ~ -. .t,o
Colonel Roberts was very indignant over the
dealD which had placed in nomination some ot
the men on the triple combination ticket. There
is no doubt" said he, that an opposllon can Dc
organized which will sweep the city as com com
pleely as dId the ticket OppOScu W JUG Anc0u 'Ie

County Democracy and Irving Hall is already IN
existence and those who control 1t Will act In con-
junction with the citizens movement TO give new

ganization have associations in every Assembly
District in the city, and IL has been very lnucn
strengthened by the action of the other Democratic
factions in naming such ticket as they have Inc
German organizations comprise large and lntell-
gent body of voters. Then there IS the hepuOlican
Organization, which would probably aid III a move
ment of this kind. 1t would be an outrage on the
intelligence of this great city to elect to the respoh
Pat keenan,, who can barely write his name,
Ii is only necessary TO give the record OF his votes
In the Board of Aldermen to show what KIND OF a
public officer he is. do not believe, however, that
he will be elected He will probably not be COM
