friends tells how he came from his home
In Harlem one winter night. through the
slush and the rain, to relieve without delay
some Jewish immigrants who had tele-
graphed him that they were stranded up
the State. It is not uncommon for him to
drop everything else and run down to the

THE Issues Of this campaign. said MIR.

We retain these sane principles OF civill-

condition that prevailed Under TaInmanyl
That s the only question at stake.
Here arc a few of the other things that
Mr. Sulzberger said. which are fair samples
OF tho features in his speeches that have
brought hun forward a q clear. forceful
campaign speaker:
II was quite appropriate that the head
OF the Tarnmany Health Department should
have been n Sexton. Five thousand people
we're destroyed in one year. as the reduced
death ruts in Mayor Lows administration
shows
Tammany has issued circulars saying
that the fusion administr alton hasn't con-
victed . single Tammany ofhcial. This II
the first time an appeal TO popular suffrage
was ever made on the basis that the candi-
dates are out OF jail.
Mcclellan says that Tammany Hall has
been al firm as a rock in the advocacy OF
Democratic principles. That's probably the
reason why tho Democratic convention Of
1858 went wild when II was said Of Cleve-
land, We love him for the enemies he has
made.
Here Is Tammany's record when 1t should
nave been partisan: In 1879 1t defeated
Lucius Robinson for Governor by running
John Kelly In 1870 1t knitted Hancock for
President; in 1894 II almost defeated Cleve-
land by supporting Ben Butler In 1883 it
succeeded in carrying the State for q Demo-
cratic Governor and failed for Cleveland
for President. and In 1900 IL didn't even carry
the city. nice record OF Democratic con-
sstency that for an organization that bases
its claim upon Its regularity.
Grout talks about Tammany Hall having
cleansed itself in the past year. Tho people
cleansed themselves two years ago by throw
ing Tammany out OF power
Mcclellan says Of the Van WICK admins
tration that -ws have nothing TO apologize
for-ours is the honor Right. Mcclellan.

the honor OF Van WICK. the honor OF Scan

nobody TO contest IL with YOU. But you give
US at the same time self written record
OF what you regard as good government.
