p. s.-Sorry to have missed Mr.. .Denison
twice, but he did not phone me in time.
NOW IT'S JERoMEs TURN TO TALK.
This letter is sufficiently characterized
by it's text. see in the newspapers much
OF challenges to me to make good on my
various at at ements, all emanating from
-l,, haxr N
fidences in me and who can therefore, with
perfect imp,lnity, insult me by cheap
nlay, I have not found that the many
persons who have conveyed information
to me Of undoubted reliability and upon
which In measure my statements have
been based, have cit her challenE Eed me or
by their improper corduct relieved me
from nv personal obligation to hold In
confidence what they communicated to
mo. But I am prepared to deliver the
goods Just as fast as my inforniants by
their misconduct release me from the OBJ
ligat ions OF secrecy.
1t Ia more difficult than can easily tell
YOU for me to write to you In this way,
knowing as I do your own personal feel
inos and the unselfsh devotion that you
have 80 long given to the Improvement on
political affairs in the city of our home. -,
But fake can't win The false note with
which this whole campaign has started

NAV be- in wider view, to just and ulu-
mately beneficial defeat
l stand to-day apparently discredited
man in our community. The pubic press
is almost a unit in its condemnation and
vet there is, believe, not newspaper In
the city of New York whose reporters on
political assignments have not reported
to their adesks" that ticket with Mr..
Low at its head must lose by plurality
estimated at from 10000 to 5000
With this known to thousands in the city
of New York, the Citiz MS Union is about
to nominate Mr., Low, protesting that 1t
believes he can win. Is there any element
Of truth and sincerity In such profession,
II you or any man Of your standing could
saw that this unpopularity of Mr.. Low
was because of what he had done in the
cause of reform you know without my
saying so where would stand.
You have been sold gold brick. The
profes sionals in conference with you have
scored under the wire like drivers at coun.
try horse trot, and to no ones surprise and
discontinue more than theirs. You have
given the word go when not driver in
the bunch expected to get away.
1t is no part of my character or mood tc
beg but now, as our ways part, bly
for all time since | Judge from the things
YOU have said that the apparently common
Judgment is yours, too, II the memory o.
old times when you believed that Il coulc
he sincere, ana to the limit OF my power
work for nd make sacrifices for a cause ii
common with you--if this memory can still
move YOU to believe that | want way dowT
in my heart the things that you. too. want
for Gods sake pause; stop this business
before it is too late.
An intellect keen enough to see thing!
as they are and courage heroic enough
TO prevent what is imminent will not b'
misunderstood by the people OF the cit.
the polls in November for which 1t nov
seems visionary to hope. Very sincerel.

what do YOU think of the threat con
tained in Mr.. Fulton's last letter?' wal
asked Of Mr., Jerome.
"If the man." he said, had not SO plaini,

but I guess haven't got down to his leve
