CANTOR ON TILDEN'S LESSON.
Jacob A. Cantor who made speech in advance
of Justice Jerome, saidrin part:
believe that when the time comes when the
machinery OF the Democratic party is in the hands
Of men who do not recognize or appreciate the
ply for private gain and private benefit, the surest
and only way to turn that party machinery over
ocratic principles. TO destroy corrupt government
fostered under that system, is to come out in the
and destroy it You cannot do il inside the
ranks. And want no better lesson upon that sub
ject than the lesson which exhibited by Mr..
Tilden in 1871. He in the position in 1871
as Shepard was in 1901 before he accepted the Tam
many Hall nomination The Tammany Hall peo-
ple the organization then controlled by Tweed Of
fered Mr.. Tden anything that he wanted if he
only would come He could sLnak of their
grievances. They offered him. everything if he would
only ally himself with that organization in the
struggles of that year. Shepard yielded tempta-
tion; Tilden spurned IL.
Before the close of the meeting Jacob A. Ris
described conditions on the East Side particu-
larly in the tenement house districts as he had
seen them under Tammany administrations
