How the City of New York is
Being Robbed.
CONTROLLED BY A GANG
CONDITIONS WORSE THAN DUR
ING TWEEDS TIME.
Controller Coler Makes Sensational
Charges - Accuses Corporation
Counsel With Standing in With
the Boodlers-Bnl to Stop Prac-
tees is Defeated in Legislature.

New York. March 3.-Controller Coler
today attacked the office of the eorpo-
ration counsel in a way that is likely
to create a storm. He charged whole
sale robbery, and did not hesitate to say
that bribery is rampant among the city
Office holders. who. he AYERS. seem to
have made the trade Of theft respect
able and thereby avoid the fate of the
late William NJ Tweed.
Robbery of the city of New York is
now perfectly legalized," he began. 4
prepared and sent to Albany a bill that
would save the city from wholesale
theft, bill providing that the persons
selling supplies to the city departments
shall not charge more than market
prices. The officer Of the city whose
duty it is 10 defend such went TO AL
bany TO defeat a bill providing that
those selling goods to the city would
not have to prove that they were over
charging for them
My bill would stop legalized rob-
berry. When I have held I'D bills and
claims because the prices charged were
above the market price. the corporation
counsel confessed judgment on the
ground that the city had no defense as
fraud had not been proved.
Defeated the Bill.
when my bill to stop legaIized rob
berry was introduced, the corporation
counsel hurried to Albany to defeat it.
The city has been robbed outrageously
in the purchase of supplies. There is a
concerted movement on the part of
certain departments to prevent the
finance department from protecting the
city treasury.
In some cases large reduction were
made on bills because they were fraud
ulent, and the prices charged were
more than double the market value, yet
if these cases had been taken TO court
the counsel would not defend because
fraud had not been shown. I must
prove fraud or there is no defense.
ITO prove fraud and actual bribery
is a difficult matter. 1 cannot go into
dark rooms and see the money passed.
In one case safes We're purchased by
the city for $500. The mayor of Mt.
Vernon advertised for bids for the
same kind of safes and got them for
1901.
In another ease carpets were bought
at auction for $l.25 a yard that could be
bought for IS cents. Tweed did not
know how to steal in a respectable
manner and went TO jail in conse-
quence. Localized robbery of the city
is now respectable. Things are worse
than in Tweeds time. Thousands of
persons are subsidized by the city
through the purchase of supplies in
lots that cost less than $1,000. The pat
ronage taken away by the civil service
is distributed in that way.
"My bill would stop all this robbery
and bribery and theft. but the corpora
ton counsel in his official capacity goes
to Albany and uses his influence to de-

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic convention takes
place on Saturday afternoon to nomi-
nate men who will fill the county offices
for the two years following their cleo
ton. Democrats and Republicans alike
concede the election of full Democrat
ic ticket For the offices of superintend-
ent of schools. clerk of court, and regis
ter of deeds no contest will be made.
The men who now so ably fill them will
not only be renominated, but they will
receive the unanimous endorsement of
the convention for the efficiency with
which they have discharged the duties
pertaining to their offices.
For the other offices the convention
will be called upon to make wise selec-
tions and we believe it will All the
candidates VINO have been spoken of III
connection with the several positions are
capable, honest. efficient and upright
men and any one would make an excel
lent public servant The selection of
the various candidates will be acquiesed
in by all the Democrats of the county.
There will be no disgruntled and disap-
pointed men. Whoever is chosen will
receive the enthusiastic and undivided
support of the Democratic party. And
the Democrats will not be apathetic this
year. They will make the most ener-
getic campaign which has ever marked
a political contest within the county.
Though it is generally accepted that the
county is overwhelmingly Democrat,
this fact will not abate the effort to get
the last man voted. Some of our friends,
who are Republican candidates, enter
tain strong hopes Of success. They be
lieve they will win, and they will put
forth strenuous efforts TO realize their
hopes, hence it is incumbent ON every
Democrati party man to show the 9TH
er side the hopelessness of struggling
for success in this county.
After the nominations are made next
let every Democrat Loyalty
seaport the ticket
