MIR. FASSETT IN THE CITIES.

To all that class of people in this city who are
opposed to the rule Of the semi-cTiminal society
of Tammany Hall the candidacy of Mr.. Fassett
appeals with peculiar strength. The same facts
and reasons that can be counted on to move
Tammany Hall to every possible exertion for his
defeat should inspire right thinking citizens to
work for him with spirit and constancy. Mr..
Fassett has been at the head Of several legis-
lative investigating committees engaged in the
practical study of municipal politics. He has
been particularly active in the examination Of
this citys affairs. lie has made Tammany Hall
the field OF scientific inquiry. He knows its
bosses and their ways. He understands the
semi criminal careers which have conferred
political powers and honors upon them. He
understands inst how they work to secure then
rank as bosses and how they hold and use it.
He knows the machinery both criminal and
highly honorable through which they operate
and he knows the colossal frauds they annually
peIpetrate upon the public treasury. All this
is information which the Tammany bosses make
great efforts to conceal and they consider its
possession by any honest man as fraught with
decided danger to themselves. Us possession
by an honest Governor, however, and a man
known to have a well-considered plan to render
bossSm and municipal corruption difficult and
hazardous would be quite intolerable
Mr.. Fassetts report to the Legislature last
spring on the subject of the government of cities
was something more than an exposure Of Tam
many Hall. it contained certain propositions
which, if put into law, would strike a serious
and possibly fatal blow at the whole business
Of bOSsism. 1t traced municipal corruption to
the primary evil of tricky special legislation
IL showed that almost ali great steals were the
direct result OF the Legislatures power to pass
special acts affecting municipal corporations, IA
power continually exercised at the bidding of
corrupt politicians. 1t is only necessary for tho
corrupt elements in any city to secure a sub
Servient representation at Albany to enable them
to paSs almost any job they desire. ANY one
can see how natural and inevitable this must be.
