SAMPLE OF DOG DAY POLITICS.
THIS Is JOKE EITHER UPON SENATOR MAcKAY
OR HIS FRIENDS

THIS Is JOKE EITHER UPON SENATOR MACkAf
OR HIS FRIENDS
Somebody is making game Of Senator ". F.
Mackay. Of Erie or else the Senator is making
game OF the public He passed through this city
yesterday his way 10 Freeport Long Island
and II gravely announced that LOT OF promi-
nent Democratic politicians were going down there
to confer with him and arrange for his nomination
for Governor next year. BY some odd reasoning
Senator John Ford and Senator Elsoerg were
named as those who would take part In the confer
ence Az last account these legislators were Re
pubicans and II they booming Democratic
candidate for Governor Il is likely they will be &C
cused OF the same cardinal crime for which
Thomas r Smith has arraigned John c. Sheehan-
reachery
On the other hand Senator p. H. McCarren Is
named as another manipulation in the conspiracy
The Senator is at Saratoga. and he would hardly
do anything without consulting Hugh Mclaughlin
but the most delicious bit Of information comes AZ
the last II is announced that Senator Tnomss r
Grady is also of the cabal and Will do all ne can
force the nomination Of Senator Mackay. Yes,
terday morning Senator Grady was seen not ana
flushed at the American Line pier staggering under
the personal luggage of Richard Croker ana ne
wouldn't give his support TO a candidate Tor tne
Office OF dOorman without getting instructions from
Mr. Croker. The whole thing smacks or what
ex-senator Hill terms dog day politics, and some
where some one Is having Joke. nut u remains
to he whether It's on Senator Mackay OF
upOn his friends.

SHEEHAN AND THE NTH.

Mr. sheehan will remain leader Of the IXth
District as long as he Is able TO carry II. What
I think or say about him. what anybody else
thinks or says about him. has nothing to do
with IT,
Each district governs itself and chooses It's
own leader That is the secret OF Tammany :
mower II is democratic 20 the core, both IN
theory and I'm practice AS matter OF fact.
the only time / ever violated the general rule
was when | helped to keep Mr.. Sheehan at the
head OF the whole organization against the
wish OF majority Of the district leaders.
At one time | was almost the only man In
Tammany who was IN favor OF keeping Mr.
Sheehan in the leadership. He ceased 70 be the
leader Of Tammany because he could not COM
mand the support of a majority Of the districts
No outsider will he permitted 10 Interfere IN MS
district. 20
"A great many Tammany leaders occupy OF
fees under the city government and II Is right
that they should be appointed, for in sense
they havs been elected. Each leader is chosen
by the vote Of the people Of his district. ana ne
comes to the Mayor Endorsed by the electors or
his own party voting In primaries under the
safeguards of the law.
How wise It is and how much in accord with
the peoples wishes and the theory or demo-
cratic government that the Mayor selects so
many officials from body Of men thoroughly
familiar with municipal affairs, VINO come 70
him as chosen representatives.
con these principles we stand ana are reauy
70 20 before the people at all times.

the country to become a politician II is his
highest privilege and it is his most serious duty
Every good American should be sufficiently in
terested in the affairs OF the community In
which he lives tn give little thought and time
to his duties as a citizen.
There are something like twenty thousand
men in New-York City who disfranchise them
selves every year by neglecting to vote. Those
are the men who are oudest in the cutlery
against machine politics man who has the
right to vote and who wilfully shirks his
sponsibilities as an elector ought TO he treated
as alien.
The one great need OF New-York City just
now is the right to govern itself The charter
under which the Greater New-York was con-
solidated is a most defective law. The more ex-
perience we have of 1t the more plainly are its
faults proved
The various departments of the city govern
ment should he administered by single heads
That is the only sensible way of conducting the
business Of the city 1t gives sufficient power
to the head Of a department to carry out his
plans. and at the same time he cannot evade
responsibility.
ONE POLICE COMMISSIONER.
Take the Police Department. for instance.
The police force Of New-York is the finest body
of peace officers in the world. But. so long as
We have a Police Board consisting OF two Re-
publicans and two Democrats the inevitable
tendency is toward a struggle for patronage and
party power. which wastes the time of the Com
missoners and tends to demoralize the uni
formed force
The splendid condition and economical adj
minstration of the Fire Department Of the
Greater New-York under the direction Of a sin
gle Commissioner shows what can be done by
common sense methods We should have a sim
gle Folice Commissioner with full power But
remember that, while | am in favor Of single
headed Commissioners, | make one exception.
The Bureau of Elections should be bipartisan.
1t is not necessary to give reasons-they are too
obvious.
II have lived for fifty years in New-York. and
what | say IL the result of my constant observa-
ton and experience citizen
In Tammsny Hall the principle Of home rule
is absolute. There are 10000 Tammany Demo
Gratis in the city, and the people Of each district
are free 10 choose their own leaders without help
or hindrance from headquarters.
Il have read in the newspapers a statement
by MI. Sheehan that before | left Newly ork
for my annual vacation | gave orders that he
should be beaten and deposed from the leader
ship Of the IXth District
Nothing could be more false or more rdcu-
lous Every leader in Tammany Hall remains
leader just long as he is the choice OF the peo-
PIE in the district. The strongest man is always
command our only test for leadership is the
We have no theories about it. We count the
vote. and II leader has lost his district and
cannot give a satisfactory explanation he is
deposed The people of each district can be
trusted to see that they not imposed upon
by incompetent leaders.
