Tammanys experience ut Chicago proved
again the truth OF saying among sporting ION
| that no one is 40 soft as q New York man when
you catch him far enough away from the
Bowery. Somehow whom the mon who In New
York are thoroughly ut homo get away they
become an easy prey to overy one who tries to
get part OF their money. At Albany, Long
Branch. Saratoga, and even no further away
| than Coney Island. most Of tho mon who lose
their money como from New York. and the local
storckecpers. BARRIERS. bartendors. and others
whom New York mon are likely to patronize
have learned that 1t is easier to got away the
money Of the Now York man than to fleece a
countryman from Schodack or the wilds Of St
Lawrence county. Tho New York man has a
confidence in his own knowledge and ability
to take care Of himself which makes It easy to
| get him in position whcro no prefers to give
up his money, than to make rumpus. while q
| countryman would call the police.
The Brooklyn and the Tammany men who
| went to Chicago complain bitterly among
themselves OF the treatment they received.
| They do not like to have the stories get In tho
papers with their names. but they are filed
| with mournful anecdotes OF tho way they were
| mnltreated and robbed by tho Chlcagoans.
This does not apply so much to the leaders or
to tho men who had friends at Chicago who
put them up at tho clubs and kept them ut
their houses. but the mass OF Tammany mon
say that they were gathered together in q few
big hotels like q flock Of lambs. and that they
were shorn by everybody.
Convention week coincided with race week.
and the Tammany mon say that the races were
fixed against them. There were some sporting
mon In the delegation who had friends In Chi
cago. and they assert that the Chicago men
gave them wrong tips on every race and that
not ono OF them was allowed to win. Even
when they put up their money without tips
the horse that they bet on never won. as II the
bookmakers kept the horse owners posted
and the races were fixed so that oil the money
would stay in Chicago. Almost all the Tam
many men who attended the races were broke
within three days. and many of them could
not pay their hotel bills and lived on the way
back to New York ON the sandwiches and other
eatables with which they had stocked their
train By raising q fund before the start

Chicago has What is called the cheap cab
The cabmen raised their, fares for the Tam
t. what they thought they could get and tho
Chicago policemen sustained them In the I'm
position. There WAS no use OF complaining to
the policemen. for thoy would give the same

In the ChicagoRn mind this seem cd sufficient
spolosy for any n1sity on the
alon. the streets, and swear at and abuse any
man who had Tammany Or, Brooklyn
badge. The boys would throw things at them,
and 1t required the constant com mands OF Mr..
Croker to keep the Iammany delegations from
crowd and trying. to thrash. tho whole city.
There is great deal OF feeling among tho
Tnmmany men over this treatment-a feeling
OF anger mingled with shame that they per-
