Br. Park hurst on Bossism.
NEW YORK, Feb. ia meeting was
held under the auspices of the city Wig
il"nce league at 222 Bowery. The Rev.
DR.. Parkhurst was the prin cipal speaker.
I'VE do?t want" the doctor said, ito be
run by any religious clique, any political
cl que, any man, nor any body of men.
We want leaders, but we don't want
bosses, / doL't care rap what the po-
litical affiliations of bosses are. 7 would
rather have Tammany hall boss than a
republican boss for the more pretensions
to decency Il Loss makes the more dan
gerous he is. l speak of this with gool
deal of feeling at this time for the pos
sibilities of evil that are wrapped up in
the political boss have recently been
brought home to me-" There are men, ~
he continued, "outside of Tammany
hall, who, Notwithstanding the purely
moral character of this fight for mum
1cipal reform, are doing everything in
their power TO hinder it. | have tried to
control my emotions, but | must speak
plainly in this matter, for my blood has
been boiling all day at the way our at
tempts for thorough investigation have
been fought. Men who appear to be in
favor of moral reform, under the rule OF
Plattism, are doing their best to defeat
this work"
ID =. Parkhurst spoke very sarcast tically
OF the fact that after all the efforts that
had been made the senate, protesting TO
be in favor of the investigation, had
finally allowed them but two months for
it. He desired it to be especially under
stood that he was not impeaching he in
vestigating committee. Bat | wish we
could get rid of politics" he said 81
don't see why the republican machine
or Plattism or the democratic machine
should have anything to do with our in
vestigation of the corruption which every
body knows exists. We have looked to
Albany for help, but instead they have
given us delay after delay"
