promised Mr. Shepard, not to break up the or

The outcome would be that Shepard would
select Croker's man Now. do you want that
kind OF a Mayor, that's under the thumb of

free will of the people?"
At this moment a roar of applause came from
the street In an instant the audience had gone
wild Men and jumped upon their
chairs Here's Jerome!' they cried. A pande-
nonium followed Mr. Carter unable to
say word. AT last Jerome came out on the
platform, and, leaning heavinly on the DESK
waited for the applause to die down.
The justice spoke in slow but clearly enun-
ciated voice. He was frequently interrupted by
applause The justice drew again the lines on
which he was making his ffght-the cleansing
of the city government from blackmail and the
overthrow of protection for crime. He said that
the other cities of the United States were eager

the defeat of the fusion ticket many would be-
1ieve that the test of free institutions had shown
them to be inadequate to resist the natural
forces of evil. After one burst of applause
which lasted for several minutes, he said:

Otto Kemprer followed the Justice. and spoke
in behalf Of the German-American Union. He
mercilessly flayed Mayor Van Wyck and told Of
the interview between him and his Boss" in
which the latter said: Bob need the money;
1 want 1t bad. You get lot of it these
next four years. and if you can, I'll take care
of you. Bob"
Bob got IT," added Mr. Kempner, and now
Croker is trying to take care of him by putting
him OF the bench. but Van Wycl1 is making
his canvass on an ice wagon, I'm afraid he will
fall behind in the race" Mr.. Kempner likened
Croker TO Roman governor who used his prov
irce only for what he could squeeze out Of it
The arrival of Mr.. Low a few minutes after
Mr. Kempner closed the sign Of a tremen-
dous demonstration. Mr. Low made special ref
