Tammany support. they manifestly
could not assail Tammany or take
active part in the campaign. So
they were bounced, and have now
come squarely out for the tiger.
The canvass is waxing warm.
Greater New York is strongly Demo-
cratic. With the presidential cam
paign imminent. there is pressure for
all true Democrats TO get into the
ranks and restore the city to Demo-
cratic rule. The trend is evidently
toward Tammany now and the
chances seem to favor Murphy. If
Low is reelected. it is conceded that
the margin will be small.
1t should always be remembered
that in the city of New York there
are thousands of voters to whom the
worst kind of government is the most
acceptable. They want opportunity
for graft. The rum power, too, is
always favorable to the side that will
look with most complaeeney on its
shortcomings. In spite of this. let us
hope that the forces in favor of good
government may prevail and that
Tammany may be kept cut at least
another two years.
