resulted IN an advantage to the rniller.s

considering restoring the rates, as they
believe it may result in injury in the

BOOTBLACk TO SENATOR.

Timothy DRY Dollar" Sullivan is a
unique figure in New York politics
who has been brought into public no.
tice lately by his antagonism to the
movement against gambling and other
forms of vice in the metropolis. 1t Is
but natural that Sullivan should not
be in sympathy with such campaign.
He was born and has thrived in the
atmosphere of which District Attorney
Gardiner is trying to rid New York
and he sees no harm in it.
Sullivan began life as bootblack.
Now he is leader in the state senate.
He was born in New York thirty-seven
years ago and his boyhood was spent
around the Five Points, where he
blacked shoes and sold papers and was
a leader of the gamins. AS soon as he
could vote the politicians took him up
and at twentythree he was able to de-
mand a nomination for the assembly.
He has been in Office ever since, never
tasting defeat. Since 1892 he has been
in the senate. He has maintained his
influence by befriending such of his
constituents as ran afOul OF the law,
by organizing relief movements for
the poor, and by giving Dry Dollar"
Sullivan picnics and balls to which the
voters of his district are invited. He
has q host of relatives, all Of whom
live in his district and every one OF
whom receives aid from the senator.
When he moved into the upper house
OF the legislature he had his nephew.
Timothy P. Sullivan, better known as
Boston Tim," elected to the assembly.
Although he is looked up to as very
generous man by his retainers, his
enmity, once earned, attends his vic
tim to the grave. His followers boast
that he unhorsed Byrnes and drove
McCullagh out. They will give you the
names of half a dozen police captains
who have suffered various forms OF
degradation because. as his henchmen
say, they have interfered with Sulli-
vans interests, political or financial.
In his own district they look up to
