ing:
From point of view. the nomination of Mr.
Shepard by Tammany Hall in nowise changes the
situation, which assumed permanent form for this
campaign when Mr.. Low selected by the anti
Tammany forces their standard bearer The
have but little Influence in determining re-
suit on Election Day. As far concerned il
has not one iota of Influence. The issue was made
before the Tammany convention. 1t is plainly
told in our PLATFORM the issue of common honesty
1t is night of good citizenship against bad selfish
and careless citizenship On the side of common
honesty stand Seth Low and all of those who be-
iieve In him. On the other side this Issue stands
Tammany Hall This fight Is not between Seth Low
and Edward NJ. Shepard but Il Is Seth Low-the
candidate OF all who love honesty, their homes and
home rule government for New-Y York-aganst
Tammany Hall
William H. Ten Eyck, chairman of the r.
publican executive committee, said:
The Republican party has little interest in the
personality of any candidate selected by Richard
Croker to head the so-calfed Democra ticket this
fall. | cannot see that the action OF the Tammany
could in any way change conditions or in any way
influence the result We cared not whether Mr.
Croker selected Edward NJ Shepard any ether
man. We have no fight against any private cti-
zen that Mr.. Croker sees fit to select. We are
against Tammany Hall organiza ton and we
are. first, last and all the time, against the CON
tinuance of Tammany as factor In the govern
ment of this city. With Seth Low lead us we
fight Tammany Hall. Edward NJ Shepard is but a
cipher in the contest.
