WON'T BE LED INTO THE LAIR
We meet 20 eisavov the leadership OF any
Shepard that wiz lead his trustful flock into the
lair OF the tiger" said Mr.. Russell shepard
may say he is no mans candidate but we know
him for what he is-Croker's candidate. We
are here TO deny that Shepard is Democratic
candidate, because he could not have been nom-
mated unless Croker had willed II. and Croker's
viii is not Democracy. Shepard may mean WELL
but, after all. he's only Croker's Punch and
Judy show. We here to protest against a
candidate who promises to reappoint Tammany
heads OF departments. but who win not promise
10 remove Devery. We trust the people. but
we do not trust the specially retained counsel
OF the Ice Trust and the Vice Trust. We deny
that the Democratic Club. where Croker walks
on velvet carpets under many colored lights. is
the abiding place Of the Democratic faith
Shepard stands to-day. If he is at heart hon.

While Mr.. Russell was speaking Mr. Low
entered the hall. and stood for several minutes
on the platform while the crowd cheered and
the band played Yankee Doodle" Another
demonstration took place while Mr.. Hornblower
was speaking as Justice Jerome made his ap-
pearance. A large delegation of voters from
the IHth Assembly District. accompanied by
band. made such a din that Mr.. Hornblower was
heard with difficulty. He said. in part:
