sell. t''in the last campaign lacking in every
thing but feaIty 70 Richard Croker and John F
Carroll. The day Of Richard Croker as leader
of the Democratic organization in this city has
passed. never to return. John c. Sheehan made
it impossible for him 10 return to power. l am
not afraid ashamed to say that Senator Hill
is of the greatest Democrats in the nation
(AppEause) We viii rally next fall with the
avowed purpose of giving him the leadership in
this State. / believe that shall elect ma
jority of the members of the executive commit
tee of the Democratic organization in this city
and that John c. Shehan. not by Croker's will
will soon stand as the leader Of the Democratic
organization in this city
While George Lincoln was speaking Mr.. shee-
han entered the room, and cries Of The real
Tiger" and The only one!' greeted him.
Il am not going delay you yong with a
speech" said Mr. Sheehan. We are assembled
here on the of the birthday of Washington
About 125 years ago Washington struggled
against great odds for the liberty Of the colo
nists. He fought for liberty. Lincoln nearly a
century later fought 10 strike the shackles from
millions of slaves. On November last there
memorable struggle in this city. 1t was
a struggle to relieve the people from oppression
and tyranny and blackmail under which had
lived for four years. The first shot of that
campaign fired by the Greater New-York
Democracy. We appealed to every self-respect-
ing Democrat to line up the side of decency.
1t was a desperate struggle, and resulted in the
overthrow of the gang which disgraced the
municipality.
4 am a Democrat, and 1 propose to remain
a Democrat The struggle for decent conditions
in this city is still on. 1t must go on till those
in control of the senior Democratic organization
i'm this city are permanently driven from power.
The primary elections will determine whether
\ this can be accomplished at an early day. All
EIover the city see gatherings like this one here
- Tonight II is an amazing sight TO the
Democrats Of this city rallying nights like
these. without solicitation, and inspired only by
the hope of better things in the Democratic or
ganization in city and State. Bear in mind the
date Of September Is next. I believe that the
NXVth District will return different ex-
ecutive member from Mr.. Scannen Mr..
Mayer will redeem this district if you will rally
around him and stick by him. On night
