hat also in its selections for members of tho
Legislature The Tammany delegation IN the
State senate and State Assembly covered nSeii
with disgrace last winter. II displayed an an
solutc lack Of scruplc and conscience; II wei
coined eagerly the most dishonest measures
that were sent to Albany, and handled there by
the worst Of the lobbyists. Tammlny does not

Farqtlhar introduced the infamous Election In
spcctors' bill. which was put through the Leg
stature by Tammany Hall with the aim and
object Of increasing the fraudulent Democratic
majorities in NewYork City by the most cor
rupt means. The City Reform Club says OF
this man: Mr. FaIquhar's record for the SOS
sion is thoroughly bad. He appeared to have
sold himself to Tammany Hall! He introduced
one of the worst bills of the session the Elcc-
ton Inspectors bill.' Tammany has rcnomi

Tammany for the Assembly, His record j.
bad also. The club declares that he proved

spiel is selected by Tammany in the now With
District. As rule, he voted for the bad and
questionable bills last winter. James II. South
worth, the Tammany candidate in the XIIIth
District, has similar record. William Sulzer
who was the leader of the Tammany members
in the Assembly, is the Tammany candidate in
the new Nth District. Al times last winter he
displayed a little independence but he intro
duced many bad political bills and defended
Judge Maynard with vchemcnce. Mr.. Sulzcr
