RUsSELLs SPEECH LONG.
Mr. Russell made a long speech, closely fol-
lowing the lines Of his letter TO Mayor Low re-
signing his office. The letter will be found in
another column. He was almost in tears at
times. and called on Mr.. Sheehan to stand by
him in certain statements.
The leaders of this organization will stand
by it wherever it chooses 10 60" said Deputy
Sheriff Cronin, while Mr. Russell will be found
Hall He % traitor to a cause that has hon
cred him with high trust. There never was any
doubt about the purpose OF this organization.
II was organized TO destroy Tammany Hall the
vice trust, the Ice trust and the red light trust.
As Mr.. Cantor says the job is but half done.
Why, Mr. Russell, you place q cheap estimate
on the men Of this committee If you think you
can deliver them to Tammany Hall. We have
been bounded and insulted in the last two years.
and yet not one man has faltered in carrying
cut his mission. I believe that when the vote
is taken Russell will stand alone, and that the
news will go cut to fellow citizens that
there is out one Judas lscariot in this execu-
tive committee. You. Russell over year ago
shouted the fiery Cronin. angrily pointing at the
Commissioner, tried to deliver this organiza-
ton to Tammanyt'
Mr. Russell denied this IN the language quoted
above.
MAYOR LOW GENEROUS.
President Fornes Of the Beard Of Alderman
made a brief speech. in which he cited the fact
that Mayor Low had been generous in recogniz-
ing Democrats. He said that the Board Of Esti-
nate and Apportionment stood twelve Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans.
I won't stand by silently and hear Mayor Low
accused Of partisanship or with anything ig-
noble l was Mayor of this city while Mayor
Low was away--Ihe real Mayor If Croker hau
been the dominant power. do you suppose 1
would have been allowed to act Mayor
There are only two propositions before us,
said Sheriff O'Rriea. 1T is 70 stay with the
tlsionists as we are in honor bound to stand,
or 90 over to Tammany. II Mr.. Russell wants
to go to Tammarv that's his privilege. l OBJ
ject however. to his doing it with a brass band
accompaniment. am in favor of the resolu-
ton.
Il Just want to add one remark about Mr.
RusselTs overwhelming love for the organiza-
ton. Re lives in my district, the XxIst. but he
never has put foot inside OF our doors. He
never has been a real member Of the organiza-
ton We have not expelled him. but he never
has paid any dues"
MR.. RUSSELL WINCEs.
Mr.. Russell WINGED under this attack by his
district leader and the others exchanged signih-
cant glances
Sheriff O'Brien called on Mr.. Russell to turn
in his resignation as chairman OF the executive
committee Mr. Russell did so. and Borough
President Cantor elected in his place. amid
great applause. The following were appointed
