tactics last year.
They have taken forcible possession OF our organ

thousand and probably one hundred and ninety
thousand, II necessary, but II they dare (Which |
greatly doubt to nominate q straight Plat ticket.
we can then positively know tho extent OF their
following and know hereafter whether their
brag and buster are really worth the attention
lately given them. ana what proportion OF the
Republican party in tho city really constitutes
their following.
doubt II this rare old twlrer dares TO have his
strength known ! sincerely hope and believe that
Mr. Low ana the union OF citizens VIII stick 10
their cOlors and make no surrender whatever TO
the common enemy. Between Plattism and Tam
manyisn there Is no choice; as well deal with
Tanmdny with III ut.
Let us have chance at last at tho machines.
With open fight between bosses ana people, WHO
can doubt the result:
do not fear: but surrender 10 tho enemy now
would mean certain humiliation and defeat.
We can SHOW these self-cOnstitutcd bosses whht
