Mr. JACOBS. FAssETr. Mr.. JOHN W. vRoo-
MAN. and Mr.. FRANK IIIscoCK arc among
Tire NcN York Republicans who are trying

t"say: I'VE have It ON your own authority
that the city of New York is wretchedly
Misgoverned community. You have said
yourselves that it Is in the hands of an oil
&nychy uf robbers that maladministrntion
and inefficiency perva,lc its Government.
that its streets are In bad condition. and its
police force is demoralized. You have said
that 1t compared unfavorably with Repub-
lican cities. We take you ut your word.
II New York is tho kind OF place
YOU say 1t is. We don't want to trust our
selves to 1t. We should be afraid for our
safety and our health. We should expect
every moment that the Tiger would be let
loose on US In the Madison Square Garden.
We should be afraid Of the policemen. We
should be afraid that town misgoverned
MS you cay New York Is would be unhealth-
full and unpleasant. You said you were afraid
that Tammany Hall would get control of tho
Worlds Fair: we arc afraid that Tammany
Hall would get control OF our National Con-

ask US to 60 to such u wicked and noisome
place rs We have learned from your speeches
that New York Is. No. sirs. the woolly

With such talk the Western Republicans
might fairly confound the delegation from
Now York: and the New Workers could only
explain that the Tiger is Pickwickian Tiger.

most comfortable place In the country And
