The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1902-02-08

Mr.. Richard Croker, in taking his
farewell of Tammany Hall, confessed
that "the times have changed; New
York has progressed and politics
should progress in the same way"
Does this mean that Mr.. Croker and
the rest of Tammany Hall realize
that the day of official blackmail is
done? He is out of politics., he says,
for all time. Is it because he is sure
that never again a political party can
be maintained for private plumber, and
that public robbery and thievery have
been put on the same plane with sim
lar conduct in personal life? If Tam
many has foresworn fred light" meth
DDS and blackmail and rakeoffs be-
cause they can no longer be en-
ployed successfully in municipal gov
eminent, the Fusion campaign of last
sall has done more for New York city
han it ever dreamed it could do. A
blackmailer is blackmailer and a
thief is thief, but if the most power
ful political organization in New York
has learned that the people of New
York have made progress beyond
blackmail and theft in their munich
pal government there is proud his
tory before that city. i. " =
But the people of New York are
not likely to forget that since re-
pentance has come to Tammany Hall
through the punishment visited upon
it for its blackmai, the safer and
surer way to confirm it in it's repent
ance will be to keep it deprived of
the power to relapse into old prac-
tees. The sick devil will stay re-
formed more easily than the well
devil z. G.~ S
