TAMMANY HALL REPUBLICANS
VERY MUCH IN EVIDENCE AT
SARATOGA JUST NOW.

Followers OF Party Upstate Disgust cd. With
Their Conduct-Countrymen Also Want
to Know Why They Get so Little Money
From State Committee Under Odell.
| SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 13-The upstate
Republicans began to talk to-day about
| the Tammany Republicans who nfest
| Governor Chairman 0dell's New York Re-
| publican county machine since he reformed
| and reorganized" it in December last
| These up-Staters are not closing their
! eyes one moment. They have made COM
| plete investigation of this machine, and after
| hearing the talk here of the Tammany Re-
| publicans who belong to 1t they are not at
all satisfied with the condition Of affairs in
New York county.
These Republicans from the country dis
tricts declare that they have unquestion-
| able evidence that Tammany Hall leaders
have recently furnished Republican leaders
Of Governor Chairman Odell's machine in
New York county with the money neces-
sary for primary expenses. They also as
sert that the Tnmmany Hall leaders have
given these Republican district leaders
the money for the purpose OF putting a
premium on incompetency.
Tammany Hall, these Republicans pointed
out to-day, has already two Tax Com
missioners in Sam Strasbourger and Frank
Raymond, who are among the most pro-
pounced Odell men in the New York county
machine. Then there Is William Halpin,
chairman Of the executive committee Of
the New York county committee, State
Tax Commissioner whose chief stock in
trade as Republican, 1t Is asserted, is his
ability to get into Tammany Hall on Four
tenth street without being seen. Next
is Armitage Mathews, Abe Gruber's secre-
tary of the New York county committee,
who knows, it was asserted, all about eye
bar cables and Pennsylvania tunnels. Then
in the list are John p Windolph. William
H. Ten Eyck, Abe Gruber himself, ames
Il: March, Isaac Newman, Mike Helms the
"Alienist" and dozen more, all OF them,
it is declared, on the most friendly financial
and personal footing " it'll prominent leaders |

The ,countrr Republicans say, they do not

point ont, though, that it Is a case OF like |
master like man. and recall the days when |
Gov. Odell was himself on the friend

leader OF Tammany Hall. This is only a |
few years since, but 1t is disheartening to |
the Republicans who are approaching this |
State campaign under Odell's leadership |
lican became 80 incensed to-day that he
said:
THE New York county Republican or
ganization is nothing but an annex to

we are talking about"
The country Republicans also got talk

Hackett and George W. Dunn were chair
men OF the New York Republican State
committee. They declared that they were
always literally supplied with money for
legitimate purposes under Hackett and
Dr., as chairman OF the State committee,
they have been scrimped, and yet they are
perfectly well aware that Mr.. OdelI, as chair
man Of the committee had the handling Of
great deal more money than either Hackett
or Dunn. These countrymen wanted to
know where all the money went to under
Odell.
Another interesting point is that mem
bers Of the New York Republican State
executive com mittee declare that Odeli,
when he resigned the craftsmanship to Col
Dunn four years ago. turned over at the
same time a measly amount of money,
from the Craftsmanship, turned over to Mr..
0dell $4,000 The Republican county
chairmen. who are here, call attention to
the fact that they were never 80 literally
supplied with money as under Dunn, and
yet they point to the fact that Dunn was
IN der Odel as chairman they got very
little money and yet odell turned over to
Dunn an insignificant amount. Hackett
also supplied them literally and yet had a
Dig balance to turn over to Odell when
odell took Hackett's place as chairman OF
