JACOB A. CANTOR'S BAD RECORD.

The fight I'm the Xth Senate District between Crane
aud Cantor goes on with undated vigor. For the
first time in Cntors experience, his record while in
the Assembly and Senate has been brought to light
and the Official record shows that he must answer to
his constituents to-day for the following votes
He voted against giving the Labor Party Inspectors

lie voted for a bill which, had IL become q law.
would have placed bridge Of the Harlem River at
the head OF Fourthave, blocking the cross streets
from one hundred twenty fifth to one-hundred and
thrtieth SITS.
He voted for bill relieving the elevated roads from
paying damages to property injured along their lines
lie voted against bill for transfer tickets and
5 cent fares on cable roads IN NewYOrE CITY,.

He is also charged with advising Sheehan, who Is
now his law partner against receiving the petition

only shows his intense desire to help Tanmapy Hall
first last, and all the time.

day that he would appear before them last evening at
the Fassett and vrooman meeting that WIS held there
On Thursday evening at the Lenox Lyceum meeting
IL was observed that Mr.. Depew hoarse and spoke
with difficulty at times. This was attributed to the
strain he had undergone in his ten days canvass OF the
state. But on Friday he realized that he had con-

caution to forego any attempt at public speaking Mr.
Depew was greatly disappointed because of his ina

ANOTHER TAMMANY TRICK REVEALED.
TRYING TO PERSUADE VOTERS TO SUPPORT !

TRYING TO PERSUADE VOTERS TO SUPPORT A
CANDIDATE WHO Is NOT RUNNING.
Tammsny Hall has been practising one of its con-
stantly occurring tricks in the With Senate District
At time Henry S. Sprague intended TO run as an
Independent candidate in opposition to Senator Stewart
But harmony has been entirely restored In the Re
publican party In the XIIIth Assembly and the With
Senate District and Mr.. sprague has withdrawn from
the contest in the interest of the Republican candi
date. But Tammany Hall has been circulating an
appeal among those voters who it was thought might
be induced vote for Mr. Sprague against Mr. stewart
and has been secretly circulating sprague pastors in
order to deceive some Republicans who might be per
suaded in this way to give their support to Mr. Sprague
and not Mr. Stewart. Now the truth OF the matter
is that Mr. Spra9ue is not running la this or in any
other district He has retired entirely from the contest
and IS supporting Mr.. stewart.
No Republican should be deceived In this matter
duty Of every Republican in the district to vote
for the regular candidate OF the party for the state
senate the regular candidates OF the party for tho
other offices. Mr.. Stewart mas been faithful and
valuable member Of the State Senate. No Republican
can have any excuse for not voting for him.

LIE ANOI4i H1NDr-NI LEADER SAYS THAT TAM
MANY'S SUCCESS WOULD BE NATIONAL
DISGRACE.
From George William Cutiss letter to L. E. Chttenden
No question at this election takes precedence of the
restoration OF Tammany Hall to political power I'm the
State That organization has been described nv a din
tngulShed Democrat AS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST
HONEST GOVERNMENT and it is declared by other
eminent Democrats TO be already IN ABSOLUTE CON
troll OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY The character
OF its management and It's methods have been courGe
ousy and accurately exposed In detail and all good
citizens Of the city have been summoned more than once
to unite against Its MALIGN AND DEGRADING,
POWER. This year the call is even louder and morn
imperative. as Tammany Hall has shown its supreme
Influence in the state Convention OF its party and NOW
AIMS AT THE CONTROL OF THE STATE GOVERN
MENT AND OF THE STATE PRESENTATION IN
THE NEXT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Whatever may be our party sympathies the success
OF such an effort would be n COMMON NATIONAL
DISGRACE. Let any intelligent and patriotic Amerf-
can acqualnt himself with the facts In regard to the
leadership OF Tammany Hall and imagine that leader
ship representing the power OF New York in National
Convention In such situation THE PARAMOUNT
ISSUE IN THE STATE AT THIS ELECTION Is TRULY
DESCRIBED BY MR.. FASSETT AS GOOD GOVERN
MENT AGAINST TAMMANY HALL. There Is no wise
reform In the state to which Tammany is known TO be
friendly and whose poets would not be harmed
BY its aScendency. HONEST DEMOCRATS DISOWN
IT As A PllATICAL ORGANIZATION FOR PLUMBER
AND WITHOUT POLITICS. But they cannot DENY
that now as always, Its power is sustained by Demo
cratic votes. The way To make opposition 10 II eectua
at this election Is for such Democrats and for all those
WHO agree Win Them not TO support It's candidates
but to vote for Mr.. Fassett and the candidates as.
