GOODWIN NOT TO GIVE UP.
SAYS HE WILL BE IN AT THE FINISH
DEVERY INSISTS HE'S WHIPPED
ALREADY.

Frank j. Goodwin. the Democratic leader Of
the IXth Assembly District. for the first time
since "BilI' Devery injected himself into the
campaign, replied to a statement by the ex-
Police Chief last night that it was Goodwin S
plan TO obtain permission to name half the dele
gates on the Sheehan ticket and then withdraw
from the contest and leave Devery and Shee-
han 10 fight IL out. Goodwin was 1ouho III the
Horatio Seymour Club.
I'm going TO be in this fight until the last
gun fires" said Mr. Goodwin. bringing his jaws
together with a snap. And, what Is more, the
people going TO vote for me-
Then after short pause he continued: When
I entered politics I had paying business ana
plenty of money. Now I haven't even mig.
Where has my money gone? I've had my haho
down in my pocket ever since l became as
trict leader. Every district leader. both IN the
Republican and Democratic party, has to do the
same thing. But I haven't advertised my charl-
ties. Devery never gave away five-cent piece
before he entered this fight. Whenever he does
anything in the line Of charity now it is ac-
companied with a. brass band and fireworks
I'm not going to drop out of this tight but
I'm going to stay and win. And I'm not gong
behind Devery notwithstanding requests we
are not asking any favors of Devery- Let him
go to the end of his rope. Wen win just the
same"

the feller with the chip wanted to know what
business it was o mine, an invited MN cow cow
for short spell. an the feller with the emp

That's the way il is with Goodwin. he 5 llcheu
an don't know it Goodwin oughter draw down
an let Sheehan an me fight il out but no. hes
pigheaded. But / know his game Just atore
the primaries he'll get Sheehan to let MIN name
half the delegates on Sheehan's ticket an he'll
not put no ticket in the field hissei He II Try TO
keep all his men in line for Sheehan, but what
a merry time he'll have About nIne-tents

Goodwin amt got no Use for the common
people. Now. take last night for example He
wouldn't go up to that banner raisin' an de-
liver no speech cause it was up in Ninth have,
The people up there amt good enough for him

day. Amt it funny It's pretty near time they
stepped down an out amt it? l think they're

their designations to the general committee an
quit an stop their nonsense. Then the organi-

to bring all factions together an have united

ters that don't interest people in this city.
hear this is the last meetin' them triumfers is
goin' to hold. l hope So
