EAST SIDE CONDITIONS.
Mr. Sulzberger told of the horrible oondl-
tions on the East Side when Tammany ana
Martin Engel were In power, reading parts of
the suppressed report Of Tammanys vice
committee taken from The Tribune of April
II. He went on:
We have succeeded in cleaning up that dis

Tammany Hall; the fault will be with you

he has ever been. Will you allow him at large

which you called upon to decide next
Tuesday.
want to say just one word personal TO my
self. l have never held public office; have
never been candidate for public office You
therefore have a right to know of what
my attitude toward public office will be.
Simply this: If you elect me to the presidency
of the Borough of Manhattan ] shall conduct
business. (Applause.) II 1 place for the Bor-
Ough of Manhattan a dollars worth of con-
tract. rest well assured the Borough of Man
haitian shall get hundred cents worth of
value. And there will be rake-off for any
man. If you elect me- and any of my subordi
ates endeavors to his position for graft"
his case will be in the District Attorneys
office quick to make his head swim. And.
finally 7 want to say to you that Mr. Ahearn

JEROME ATTACKS TAMMANY
District Attorney Jerome. coming in just then.
received with greatest applause. After the
cries of Get at EN-! Soak 'em! had died out,
he began to tell of the clean record of fusion and
the lies which. Tammany had put forth in the
guise OF campaign arguments He castigated
w. Bourke Cochran to the audiences taste. OF
fusion he showed how it had appointed men of
education to the different departments. men
pecially qualified for their work. He told of the
blackmail in the Police Department and the
Health Department, and contrasted those condi-
tons with the clean records OF Greene and Led
erie. He went on:
Seth Low has been attacked and General
Greene has been attacked all through this cam
paign In regard to the excise law, but Mcclellan
has been challenged time and time again to say
what he will do and except to talk about the
blue laws he has not said word. II George
b Mcclellan will stand 4 platform and say
that If he is elected and will instruct his Com
missioner OF Police to disobey his oath of office
and leave the side door or the front door of a
saloon open on Sunday. then we will definitely
announce a policy in regard to it, 1t is like a
question in the great East-it is the question of
the open doCr-and fine words butter no pars-
nips. and until he says he will open or close
the door no one under Gods heaven knows what
his ideas that subject are.
And I'm the year of our Lord 1903 Cock
ran is out for Mcclellan, and he tells us that
II Is not on the basis of the coinage Well il
is a kind of a waste of time to indulge in these
sidelights. but ii does add to the gayety of ma
tons to see man of this type come in and try
to instruct the people of New-York regarding
their civic duties-a man who never had any
conscientious convictions on any subject since
he has drawn the breath of life a man who has
been in and out OF everything, if perchance the
interests of Bourke Cochran might be advanced
and give this degree of attention TO him. not
because of his individual Importance but be-
cause he seems to have entirely eclipsed that
little SldeshoW, Mcclellan and Grout: he
seems to be the campaign I'm some mys-
ferrous fashion other. But apart from
this assertion of his Of this being the
worst administration since Tweed I did
discourses. Mr.. Cochran DEVELOPED this pearl
OF thought the other night-that no one but
"A liar believes the e.' That being the case 7
just want to call your attention to the antithe-
SIS or the contradiction that exists on the SUBJ
Ject OF this being the worst administration since
Tweed between MIR. Cochran and Mr. Grout and
L am going to put IL up to you and leave il IN
you TO say which one is the liar, and which is
TO be believed and which is the only one who il
believing in himself as being the liar.
