Let us get together. press graft and craft ~
one side, and fight for good government and
higher principles
Mr. Jerome's denunciation OF such duplicity
as has been shown by different candidates
expresses my sentiments to the letter. and
pledge him not only my vote for more sub
stantial platform. but my hearty support to
crush the stigma that would rest upon New

lukewarm. crafty and CRAFTY executives,
That candidates for good government. for
a clean. honest municipality. can join with
upholders Of Tammany and her disreputable
administrators without communicating their
good purposes. is impossible. You can't mix

city OF the United States are seeking to es-
tablish principles OF honesty ana righteous

contaminated only by electing officials who
will faithfully observe such principles.

vote for a platform Of builders OF the reform
under Mr.. Low. not OF ofticeseekers.
