Nayor Lows letter Of acceptance,
which was given out tonight, reviews
at length the work performed during
bIs official term In the abatement OF
OWLS and in the economical adminlstra-
ton Of the ctys affairs. AS to the
nrospect OF success at the approaching
election he says;
"It Is often pointed out that Tam
many has never been beaten twice I'm
succession; but Il must not be for
sntten that no fusion has ever out
lived single term, Neither has any
genuine fusion ever been beaten"
As result of changes in the fiscal
polIcy Of the city Mr., Low says IL
bas been found possible to carry on
the work of local improvements on a
liberal scale, and still tax the city &c.
10000 less this year than last
Particular credit Is claimed for the
manner IN which the interests of the
taxpayers have been conserved in the
matter of public franchises.
The conduct of the cOmptrollership by
Grout is characterized by Mr. Low as
brilliant contribution to the success
OF the adminstra don" but In view of
Mr. CIRCUITS nomination on the Tam
many ticket the mayor declares that
"Tammany Hall permits no man the
opportunity for untrammeled service
such as he (Mr. GrouD has heretofore
been able TO give"
Summing up, Mr.. Low says. "The
fusion demand now. as in the last cam
plign, is. First, for a government of
law, as distinguished from the inequali-
ties. fayortism ana corruption due to
tolerated backmail; second, for gov
eminent In the interest of the public
treasury, as against government dom
lrated by that mercenary spirit that
breeds dishonesty in the public serv-
Ice" and. third, for a government in
The city In the interest Of its own
existence, against a government that
sEwayed this way or that by the sup
posed interests of national politics"
