Big Bill" Devery does not believe IN I
Mayoralty campaign becoming apathetic,
even on the eve Of an election, and yester-
day. while his opponents were giving out
the figures by which they expect to carry
the city, he was making good his declara.
tion that lie was going to fight to the last
ditch. -
! Devery addressed five meetings last night.
making the same speech at each meeting.
He carefully prepared the speech In the
afternoon, and 1t was submitted to all Of his
chief lieutenants before IL was handed TO
the public to digest. Needless to say the
speech was received with enthusiasm all
| over the Ninth district, TO which Devery
confined his efforts last night. The speech
is as follows: ~ -. - ,- ii 5...,,yii -.

When Devery returned from his speech
making tour he was told that the Citizens
| Union people had announced earlier in the
evening that !.e had unearthed big Tam.
many colonization fraud. Said Devery OF
F., this:
Il told THE Sus last Tuesday that 500 Of
Bob Deady's policy gang was coming over
here from Philadelphia and that they were
under contract to deliver 10000 votea for
Murphy. Now for the benefit Of Mr. Cutting
Mr. Low and Mr.. Morgan, the Superin-
tendent Of Elections, want to say that
that lie dy gang is here. Thev got here last
Wednesday afternoon, and thoy are nov
| uuartered at Jake Wunderlioh's In Sixth
avenue and at Wolfert's and Tom Sharkey's.
which are almost next door 70 each other
on Fourteenth street. Just opposite Tam
| many Hall.
'1hey, re. here to vote for, Mcclellan and
theyl do it i they can. know that they
| are here and With this fair notice IL will
be Mr.. Morgan's fault if they succeed in
| voting. Unless something Ia done right
away therell he many a man wake up
early election morning and go to the polls
onlv TO find that his name has already been
voted on.
Deverv followed his talk on Desdy's
gang with little chat on the subject Of
Charles F. Mnrrhv. He said:
II put the Borough Hotel up. to Murphy
and now want to tell you and the public
that Murphy is interested now in some
forty places that need police protection
II Won could get a hold of Murphy's man
| Dempsey and put the screws on him, you'd
soon find out that l am telling the truth.
| Didn't they raid u roolroor just few
doors from Murphy : Yesterday afternoon?
Murphy was behind that room just as he
was behind Stewsrts and Krauchen's
rooms. Saw, don't be surprised il they
find poolroon going full blast right in
the An0wanda Cub before long.
Il che lenged Murphy long ago to show
| where ! ever did anything worse thai,
| stand for some Of lis SC! enies g nd ne hasn't
| made good. Lever iad a finger In the
/! dirty pie, never. but ns head of TIE police
| had to stand for lot from politicians,
You keep the police away from the polite
inns and let them run themselves nd you'll
never hear any kicks about blackmal.
Murphy's been to Inc in my time in the In
terests of his places.
And that fro over in Brooklyn, McCar-
rem. tod the pubic the, other day how
he came around to get sl65 600 out Of the
Police Department for legi lation in Albany.
and how I !howed him the door. But
didn't tell vou die ], that he aid if the police
would raie thb money Brooklyn could be
vide open for gambling, poolrooma and dis

wants toGucceed Mclaughlin. A fine fellow
, he IL. ....
1T ought to interest the Brooklyn voters
to know that he stood readyto sell the town
