King OttO,e Cfts.


At 90 First avenue. corner OF Third street.
on the evening Of July IL, the great move
ment known as OTTo's New York Citizens
Democracy began to move. Due prepara-
tions had been made for an enormous
crowd, nor were the preparers disappoint-
ed. In spite OF the heat, 80 0TTo Citizen
Democrats were present. There could be
no greater testimony to the frantic ravages
which OTTos Citizens are making in the
ranks OF the regular but terrified Democ-
racy. Mr.. HEINRICH FLEGENHEIMER arose.
and. with his sunny presence and sparkling

that vast assemblage. II move you, gen

ninety-elght throats poured forth the cheer
to King OTTO. His right commanded 81
lence; his left was on the oratorical. IL
not the strictly anatomical. position OF the
heart. This gathering" says he. marks
the birth OF an organization which proposes
to recognize the will Of citizens as the high
est law. and to see that the masses and not
the bosses shall rule this city. The Citi-
zens' Democracy has no prearranged pro-
gramme fixed by one irresponsible individ-
ual. Its candidates shall not be the body
servants Of a self-constituted dictator. but
the faithful representatives Of the will OF
their constituents"
Ihe dazed air was groggy with the ap-
plause. So the new dictator was not to be
irresponsible. OTTo is fighty and forty,
passion exudes from his every pore. and
he has Wehschmers the size OF hens
egg; but he is not irresponsible. Our OrTo
knows what he Is about. Then he
explained why he had established him
self at the sign Of the Citizens Democ-
racy. Freedom has been reduced to a
shadow. Let us re6stablish the substance

usurped by BOSSES" 9S cheers. but no

organize the election districts, and weH do
the rest" responsible dictator cannot Or
ganize too thoroughly. King OTTo Of
fered and had passed a resolution that the
Executive Committee be authorized to call a
mass meeting in September to nominate a
committee of one hundred to boss the
organization until the Assembly districts
send representatives to a county organl-
Eation. Here's the crux. The full present

Where will they find him? Will they offer

,hings. King OTTo's Cits. dispersed with
great and cumulative thirst.
