1t is well to recall that this is what Mr. Grout
said OF Tammany Hall before he got a nomi-
nation from that concern:
Tnmmany Hall is an organization for the
purpose of enabling some people to make |
money. The Democracy of the United |
States will rejoice il Tammany II brought |
q the dust. when 1 entered upon the |
performance of my official duties 1 was |
brought into close association with Tam |
many Hail. and 1 breathed the stencil of |
Tammnny Hall at close quarters.
In his letter to Mr.. Cutting saying he would |
accept the fusion denomination Mr.. Grout said |
Mayor Low:
While the main contest must logically be |
made upon the achievements or lack of |
achievements of the present officials, there |
seems to be effort coming to inject into |
the campaign other issues to which, |
equally with the main one. find upon me |
n direct personal duty. by those who do |
not know Mr.. Low L do, who have not |
worked side by side with him for two |
years, and who have not seen his breadth |
of view and strong grasp upon municipal
questions, and his marked ability TO get
results, attack is made upon his PERSONAL
fly. and his patience and care and conscrv-
stism distorted into weakness.
President Fornes accepted the Tammany
nomination. and paid several tributes to the |
noble words of the Tammany candidate for
Mayor.
