MIR. CIRCUIT THE NEXT SPEAKER.
Edward NJ Grout. the candidate for Con-
troler, the next speaker. His appearance
caused storm Of applause, and he was obliged
to stand for full minute before he could
speak. He said that there was distinction be-
tween the Democratic party and Tammany Hall,
and that he stood where he did, not to fight the
Democratic party, but Richard Croker MT
Shepard's intentions toward Tammany. If elect

sentence in his speech of acceptance: Il shall
not use the powers of the Mayor, if they come
to me- for any partisan purpose. whether to de-
stroy or to dsintegrate or to build up any po-
ntical organization. Democratic or Repunlcah'
or of anv name whatsoever" Mr.. Grout con-
tinued:

MIR. HEDGES'S THRUSTS AT TAMMANY.
Job E. Hedges the last speaker. His
speech was full of the sarcasm which he knows
how to use with such effectiveness. There were
many thrusts at Tammany, Croker and the can
didate of Tammany for Mayor. Here are a few
of the whacks that Mr.. Hedges bestowed upon

herd. and il he elected Mayor he would op-
pose his reelection the ground that he had been
inconsistent.
And this year they only claim to be politically
consistent Shepard. / do not know whether
Shepard as a sort of political doctor is prescrib-
ing for Tammany Hall, but If he s he is prescrib-
ing himself sort of political emetic. and If he
