Il consider 1t the duty of every citizen. re-
gardless OF party afiliation," said Gustav H
Schwab, Ito use every effort to secure the union
Of all individuals and parties opposed to Tam
many Hall for the purpose Of securing better
city government. I believe Tammany Hall can
be defeated IL all work together. Without such
a combination the effort will be without avail.
Hubert ellis vice-president OF the Germania
Life Insurance Company, expressed himself as
follows:
81 am heartily in favor Of an organization OF
all the forces that opposed to Tammany
Hall for the publication of the city administra-
ton This is not the time TO talk about candi-
dates, but the time is ripe for the organization
Of these forces by the proper persons

Captain Goddard. the leader of the xxth As
sembly District. spoke most hopefully last night
IN regard to the kind Of campaign which should
be waged against Tammany Hall for the pos
session of the city government at the next cleo
ton From his experience as the leader OF
what is naturally Democratic district. the
captain had seen. he said. that the greater part
Of the Democratic party had come to hate their
Boss and to pray for his overthrow. Such an
overthrow. the captain thought. in every
way possible If all the anti-Croker forces could
be haImoniously combined. When asked why
such insurrection had grown UP in the camp
of Tammany Captain Goddard replied:
The Democrats have come to find out the true
character of their boss They have come to see his
bas assumed in satisfying his greed When Croker
testified that he was working for his own pocket all
really understand what he meant But they under Ter

can say with all truth and frankness that among
Democrats the name Of being Croker man has be-
come a stigma Of reproach and disgrace Only a
servilty TO their master will permit themselves to
be called Croker men Fear dominates them. and

II is too early to talk candidates. The putting
forward OF names means the awakening OF
faction.
WOULD FAVOR INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT
Would you advise an independent Democrat
as candidate?" was asked
Yes" was the answer. IF he were not
prejudiced and circumscribed by his party In
deed If man could be found who cared more
for his city than his party himself, 1 should
gladly support such a candidate. But ii is too
early to talk names.
"I believe that If Mayor elected who
stood for clean government and who wtthal was
not crank that the people would in the course
Of few years come to realize the great bene-
fits resulting to them and would not allow the
city to go back to the condition it is in.
Perhaps four years of such government would
not be enough. 1t might take eight years, or
even more. But when our people get accustomed
to good management of their affairs they will
be unwilling to change. Take our Street Clean
ing Department as an example. We have
clean streets, what IN comparison with the
streets Of some other cities clean streets
Under the administration of Mayor Strong and
the supervision OF Colonel Waring this depart
ment was reorganized so that the people soon
saw good results. They would not endure filthy
streets now
Ex-Mayor Charles A schieren was seen last
evening at his home, No. 405 Clinton ave-
brooklyn, by Tribune reporter.
NThe independents" he said, may organize
but as for men and measures ii is rather prena-
trre. We are hardly over the last election. All
the forces. however who are opposed to Tam
many Hall should organize now. the sooner the
better. The matter lies within the control of the
people II they are tired of Tammany rule thew
will turn Tammany down. So far as l can
Judge, there is general sentiment in favor OF
doing that but nothing short of an uprising of
the people and unanimous work In that direction
will accomplish IT.. The independent Democrats
will have TO ally themselves with those opposed
TO Tammany. Thorough organization is wanted
IN every election district. and 1t should be ef-
fected Immediately. 1t is the only way to get
all the disaffected elements together but if work
is conducted on strict party lines the turning
down OF Tammany Hall cannot be accom-
