date for Alderman from the With Assembly
District swung the gavel. and one OF the most
picturesque features of the performance was the
appearance Of Henry W. Unger, leaning on the
arm of big Tim Sullivan, the Great Mogul

his seat on the stage great chorus OF cneers
went UP. and such cries as:

trying to delude voters into thinking that a |
