why PlatU Gan Never Rule New
York Oi6y.

For some reason the Republi-
oans of New York State regard
Plat as Heaven-sept leader to re-
form and redeem the wicked city
of New York. They do not see
that Plat can never rule New York.
New York is essentially feudal,
and the king must be of the native
blood. Plat is foreigner; he may
make an occasional raid into the
city and dethrone the king; he may
even set up temporary protector
ate or "A heeting dynasty; but he
and all his kith and kin will ever
be pretenders with the populece.
1t will rise and drive them out at
the fret crisis. Plat knows no
more about New York city than he
knows of Lahore, and he can never
learn it. For the spirit of feudal
charity and rough kindness to it's
own people, which is the real spirit
of Tammany with allits corruption
is the spirit of New York, and a
GOLD bIooded, mousey, figety little
man who walks cautiously catwise
across his own bedroom floor, will
never rule New York Clyde
