bells Beefsteak Dinner, a Notable Feed
District Attorney Jerome started the ball
a-rolling last night at the beefsteak party
given by Tim Campbell's Oriental Club
in Grand street. Mr.. Jerome made q
speech In which he handled political
traitors" without gloves.
The Hon. Tim patted Mr.. jerome on the
back and shouted -Bravo!" every time Mr.,
Jerome denounced anything OF anybody.
After midnight Tim made a speech HIM
self. He looked as young as he did twenty
years ago, and told good stories of his
experiences az q Congressman, Judge,
a. Senator and an Assemblyman
Mr.. Jerome said among other things in
his speech that he would not lift his voice
for ticket two-thirds Of which belonged to
a rival organization:
respect Inthe long run it Is the only thing
of value or worth. believe that somehow
or other telling the truth is better than
lying, II only for the man himself. While
it may seem hard for you and your friends,
l believe it works out right in the end.
At any rate, truth Is more important to me
have the satisfaction Of knowing that you
have announced what many other people
think and daren't say.
aThe last municipal campaign was sue
cessful because Of its spirit OF sincerity.
In former campaigns there was always
big element Of fake. What was said and
done in other campaigns was said and done
their votes. In the last campaign this
wasn't so, and that's what put heart into
decent people.
"The present campaign to my way Of
thinking, resolves itself into this PROPOSE
ton: That if, in the face Of the things that
have occurred. intelligence and courage
are shown and a ticket put in the field which
the people feel is step In the right direction,
the whole position will yet possess this
accent Of truth and sincerity.
But with mongrel leaders OF all kinds we
really don't know where we will land. I
have seen so many amateur professionals
and 80 many professional amateurs that
sincere and II sincere men are put IN the
right places. the people will back them:
But If they're going to wahble all over and
take one slap in the face after another,
why, we can't cast our votes for them.
Personally am going to stand for certain
things wherever the rest Of the outfit goes.
but my voice can't be lifted for ticket
two-thlrds of which belongs to q rival
organization.
Il have no hesitation, as l have said
before. about appealing to the votes Of
number of Tammany men. There are
many loyal Democrats in Tammany, but
as to the organization. as an organization.
why. it q enough for me to run. II I'm going
to run. on one ticket"
The Hon. Pat Connolley, ex-Mayor OF
Poverty Hollow. was at the dinner In a
new silk hat, having come down to his old
district fran his palatial new home In
Central Par-ruk, Whist" as he put 1t.
There were also two or three hundred
x-Assemblymen, scores Of ex-Aldermen,
ex-Judges and Colonies of Tweed's time,
and in fact all Of the ancents and honorablee
who have managed to survive the political
storms Of half century.
Ex-Judge Pittman presided. He told Of
the good qualities still left in the Hon. Tim
Campbell. who, he said, was fit to honor
any place on any ticket Of any party at any
time.
The eating record was still in doubt at
midnight.
= One OF the guests lost time by losing his
watch. Another lost his hat.
Tim Campbell told his friends at the feed
that he bad become an editor: that he had
started The Jdnitor: that he was it's boss
that there were 10000 janitors in New York
City, all in stiff union. and that this union
had formally recognized the Hon. Tins
periodical, which is to be printed once
had 400 subscribers.
The Hon. Tim went on to tell how the
Jan,tor could be Of great service to him.
You see, every now and then the
tenants ask the janitor where to buy
a cook stove or rug, or some, window
shades or a pair OF socks, and things
like that, and the janitor can direct the
tenant, under the union rules, just where
to do business So, the Hon. Tim said
he thought he had struck ar. everlasting
fortune in his periodical. the Jdnitor.
