Tammany majority in the Board of Aldermen
under the present administration had at

where it could make a contract for I'VE. or six.
or seven millions Of dollars at one time II would
not have been possible within a generation tn

That could not have been done unless this adj

The great problem before the voters this wear
is whether they want a system in an ir,5irs,-

they want an administration that wiz admin

imagine that one citizen may be exempted from,
the law by paying somebody and that another
citizen has to take the law as he finds it be-
cause he Will not pay II IS the very essence or
inequality and the very essence Of Injustice ard
Yet the Tammany system is and has been for
thirty years TO make money out Of the control OF
the city government In Tweed's dav they useI
