value. Woollen and worsted manufactures fell

municipal history of this country is the career
"of Tammany Hail." He can no more get away
from his obligations TO Croker and Devery than
the creature can get away from its creator. He
Is accepting their support He appears asking
vote of confidence in them. The chairman of
the convention which nominated him said in his
formal address: I'VE meet here again tonight
ito indorse the Democratic administration that
"has been presided over so ably and sue
''cessfully by that answering. fearless Demo
''crat. Robert A. Van Wyck." And the platform
adopted by the convention declares: I'VE con-
'gratulate the people upon the results achieved
under the Democratic administration of our
city affairs. and points with pride TO the record
of the present administration. Mr.. Shepard has
got to stand on that platform. and that means
the Endorsement of Devery, his oppression of
honest men and his partnership with criminals.
Logically il implies the continuance of what
is indorsed. Not only will the people reason
ably look forward to new lease of power for
Devery if Mr. Shepard is elected. but Devery
himself has a right to expect it, and 10 COM
plain that he has been treated with bad faith
if Mr.. Shepard wins this platform, obtains
n vote vindicating the last four years of Tam
many rule, and then kicks down as unworthy
the ladder by which he climbs The only way
Mr.. Shepard can escape that obligation is by a
distinct announcement now that he will not
retain Devery and will not tolerate the particu-
lar corruptons for which the Van Wyck ad-
ministration is notorious. If he does that his
freedom of action may not be utterly destroyed.
If he did it, however Tim Sullivan and the
other Red Light leaders would desert him.
The very fact that they accept his leadership
means that they will hereafter have a claim TO
some measure of his friendship. at least his
liberation.
In the speech of 1898 against Mr.. Roosevelt
Mr. Shepard held that. however good the candi-
date. and however virtuous his party's pledges,
the people should defeat the Republicans TO
show their disapproval of the previous State ad-
miniStratiOn. He said:
Experience has shown that. however good a
great executive may himself be- or however
well disposed his associates, his administrator
will be far safer and more wholesome II ms
party knows that if he it wrong 1t Will be IN
eXorably punished by dismissal This. as have
! said. is a condition far more important thah
the candidate. important as he is.
Let that rule be applied and Mr. Shepard
is found praying for his own defeat. Whatever
the shortcomings at Albany which he then
wished punished, they are nothing compared
with the mspeakable corruption under which
this city has groaned for four years ram
many has gone wrong, Mr.. Shepard pre-
dcted it would in 1897, and. as he says, the
safety of the city. not only for the immediate
future but for all time, demands that 1t be IN
exorabIy punished. Only can the lesson that
the wages of official sin is political death De

Mr.. sHEPARD-s .TNDEPEyDENcE."

Mr. Croker's candidate for Mayor asserts that
he takes the nomination absolutely unpledged.
His opponents will give full faith and credit to
that statement. They will likewise concede
that Mr.. Shepard. by some process of ratiocina-
tion peculiar TO himself and incomprehensible
10 his personal friends and admirers, has per-
suaded himself that he is doing his duty He
doubtless means 10 be good Mayor if Tam
many Hall succeeds in electing him. and plans
10 use Croker. Deyery, Scannell and Tim Sui

theless, he cannot reasonably expect that be-
levers i'm good government will consent TO put
Tammany once more in power in the vague
hope that Mr. Shepard in the Mayors chair
would be more influential for good than the or
ganization which elected him. and which under
such circumstances would probably control most
of the other Offices could be for evil. Indeed,
Mr. Shepard himself knows and has said that
