Devery Gets a Black Eye.

defeat as the result of his attempt 10

maries And in his hour OF de1eat ne

ceased to be picturesque, becoming u
frenzied brawler in the streets, en-
gagged in Il dozen rough and tumble
rows. knocking men down, and himself
beinp knocked down and generously
ncaule(r and cut up. His eye was closed
hut not his mouth. The police even
took a hand-and the trouble at a New
York Democratic primary has to be
nrotty serious when that happens
and the brutal boss who had once been
city WAS pounded and chokcd into
something resembling submission.
After the mix-up was over, Devery
issued a proclamation to the beer
soaked multitude of his faithful fol-
.owers in which he declared that his
Tammany opponents had defeated him
unIairly-which is not at all improb
abIe-and that he still intends to run
for mayor as The peoples candidate"
1t was a vain hope that a defeat at the
primaries was to remove this bizarre
character as Il public and political fac
tor in the metropolis. His name stands
for the vilest official turpitude, and
his continued activity only aids the
cause of good government through be-
ing horrible example of what would
prevail if the fusion forces which
elected Low should lose control of the
city. The Tammany leaders who hate
him and fight him are no better than
he is. lie is simply more outspoken
and more picturesque in his methods
and uttcranccs, and his heart is full
of pity for de down trod' classes of
the city.
