NEW YORK, Oct. 22-Mayor Grants let
ter accepting the Tammany Hall nomina-
tion for reelection to the mayoralty has
been given out. The mayor arraigns the
Republican party for depriving the city of
$500 600, 900 which would have accrued if it
had obtained the Worlds fair and for the
loss Of rapid transit legislation, all because
this is Democratic city. In defense Of
his administration he points TO the de-
creased tax levy, the increased opening Of
streets, the improved pavements, the many
new docks built (the latter insuring the
retention of commerce that might have
gone elsewhere), the work on new school
buildings and the cutting OF overhead
wires and placing them underground. He
points with pride to the police and fire de-
partnsents, and to the Eusion party he re-
plies that the running Of the city by a
political party has proYeS a success,
