BOTTY

These candidates were selected in conference by
the Republicans the State Democracy and this COM
mittee.
The Union ticket thus selected manlfestly offers
the only possible means OF delea'ihs id"''''i"! at
the polls this year.
We are satisfied that the character and ability OF
the candidates offer to the city assurance OF better
service IN case or election than any ticket which Is
now before the people and which has the slightest
chance OF polling a plurality OF votes
This ticket has been nominated by the kepuDncah'
the State Democracy ard the Democratic Reform
conventions and will appear upon the ballots IN one
column with the Republican State ticket. and in an
other column with the Democratic state ticket so
that II may readily be voted by members Of both
parties well as by independent citizens.
A UNION AGAINST TAMMANY.
The ticket is in fact precisely what processes to
be-the result Of an avowed effort to unite in the
fight against Tammany behind the same candidates

THE SAME OLD TIGER.
We believe with all the Intensity OF deep convic-
ton that the best interests CT the city call for the
election OF an ant-Tammany ticket. The nature Of
the public enemy has not changed since last year
Under the same or worse leadership. Tammany
still defes the community and treats its best hopes
and aspirations with contempt The nature Of
Tammany use ali the powers OF government to
enrich its magnates and to demoralize the public
phere in this city in which rich and poor alike
trembled lest the machinery of the city govern
ment should be used In one form another to OPP
press them. With hand 1t bought allegiance
by favoritism with the other 1t compelled suffer
ance by fear. With last years victory Of the PEG
pie. rich and poor alike regained nothing less sub
stantial than their liberty ard equality under law.
IL Is now seriously proposed by some. because the
rigid and impartial administration OF an existing
law has produced results which TO them are unWei,
come. to waive all objections TO Tammany Hall
and. out OF resentment TO hep TO return II to
power though the unequal unjust and corrupt
administration OF all laws under Tammany were
personal habits resulting from rigorous but Inn
partial administration In the case OF single law,
and equally though the remedies lay In restoring
bad government TO the city instead OF In changing
that law. Again. IL Is seriously proposed by others
that II is better for the city endure the evil OF
Tammany success this year than to support this
anti Tammany ticket, because this ticket is not
named upon last years platform, and because II
does not In all respects meet their ideals
MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY NATIONAL
PARTY.
The Committee OF Fifty respectfully urge that
this sentiment rest upon the faacy that Tammany
Hall Is no more dangerous TO the city than any
National party organization or machine In the
opinion OF the committee. IL 10 unspeakabiy more
