Mr. Noonan was very pleasant and
/ pressed the reporter to take glass Of
'niee cool lager" and seemed quite
sorrowful when it was politely refus-
/ ed
At 2S5 Sth ayneue is the saloon
which was formerly kept by Bernard
Cregan. Mr.. Cregan is now dead
but his sou carries on the business,
and he seid to the reporter: ~ haven't
made up my mind as yet" he said,
zone way or another, but it will nG
! doubt be for Cleveland. The Demo
/ cratic party is of course the one we
all wish to succeed" Young Mr.. Gre
gan did not know anything about the
| platform and so could not express an
opinion.
Peter Quinn's saloon is in the 9th
| district, at 1SS Bleecker street. Mr..
| Quinn was in a good humOr. ~ will
give my hearty support to Cleveland,
of course" said he. land as far as
know so will Tammany hall and all
other good Democrats. Besides. we
have positive instructions that there
must DO no swapping of candidates,
no voting fOr friends at the expense
of the general ticket. We will sup
port the ticket throughout. OF course
we have our personal likes and dis
likes. but this stuff about knitting
Cleveland is nothing but talk. OF
course you knew he did not do the
right thing by New York, but when
q party nomiratcs man, why it
votes for him. That's all. Tammany
Hall viii support Cleveland all the
way through Mr Quinn politely
but firmly refused 70 say anything
about the platform OF any plank in it.
Joseph McCann has saloon at 18th
street and 3rd avenne. He said {:
There is nothing at all but talk i'll
this so-callcd anti-Cleveland feeling
among the members of Tammany
Hall. / believe every Democrat in
New York will support him most as
suredly will. OF course he was not
New Iork's choice, but now he's
nominated we can't help ourselves.
We have been ordered to vote for h,m.
If he's elected, why that's glory for
us, and if he's defeated, why We'll
blame Tammany. Yes, the anti
sumptuary plank is directed against
laws interfering with the liquor trade.
The Democratic party is opposed to
all such laws, TO High License as we'll
as Prohibition. The party has never
been in favor of anything which
would hurt my business"
Jacob Geib ''keeps" at 15S Stanton
street. in the 10th district. He is a
great big brutal looking fellow, and
his saloon was so crowded with buns
that the reporter had some difficulty
in getting in. Yes" said Mr.. Geib,
'.of course / will support Cleveland.
| am entirely in favor of him. So is
all the rest Of Tammany Hall. The
platform is all right and so is the an
ti-sumptuary plank. The Democrats
are not in favor OF anything that at
all hurts the liquor trade. If the sa-
loon keepers don't support Cleveland
they will go against their bread and
butter, for that is the party that has
done the most for us. | am captain
and boss of this district and | tell you
Cleveland will get a bigger vote here
than ever before"
Charles Schaefer has dirty semi
subterranean rum hole ut l49 Suffolk
street in Sth district. Said he: ~
will heartily support Cleveland and so
will all the other members of Tamma-
ny. If Tammany didn't, I'd get ont
of Tammany. The plank you speak
of is aimed against any interference
with my business, believe. was
once a County Democracy man, but
now | belong to Tammany, and | say
Cleveland will carry this district.
This talk about New York liquor men
not supporting Cleveland is only Re-
publican talk
The saloon at 80 Sheriff street, in
the 9th district, region of unsavory
smells and unkept Hebrews, is kept
by Gustav Menninger, member OF
the County Democracy. To, the re-
porter, he said: ~ am for Cleveland
every time. hope and believe that
every liquor man in New York will
wheel into line for him this fall o.
yes, the Democrats never do anything
to hurt this business. They know theil
friends. The Republicans are the fel-
Elows in favor of High License and
that sort of thing, but we beat the Ex-
else bill when was in Albany. The
party and all of us have everything
to gain and nothing to lose by tbs
election of Cleveland, and think ht
has better chance than eyer.n

Hall for over 20 years. he said, sant

most heartily. As | understand it
! the 'anti-sumptnary' plank is aime,
against all interference, with the liq

support of New York and he will b
elected"
