DR.. Frederick L. Marshall, the Republican can

last night in the Gilsey House, directly opposite
those occupied by Mr. Jerome. Dr. Marshall
said he would have a hot canvass and expected
to work hard for election.
Mr.. WINS asked questions points made
by Mayor Mcclellan in his speech last night He
was told that the Mayor made no mention of
holding Office if elected for four years. and was
asked If he wished to reply to the silence. He
said:
MCLELLAN's SILENCE OMNIBUS.
Yes. his silence is ominous. If he intended to
hold the office he would not be afraid to say so
his hesitancy in saying so shows he does not in
tend to hold the office. in which case we will
have one year of Mcclellan and three years of
Murphy, the theory that the only trouble
Tod &c
OF it
The Mayor" Mr.. WINS was told. Says his
administration has been honest in thought and
deed"
$50 far as I can find" he replied, cit has been
confined to honesty Of thought don't see the
deed I have been reading that remarkable
book, Plunkitt OF Tammany Hail. with
preface by Mr. Murphy. I think that Plunkitt
has described the situation during the last ad-
ministration. He says: They didn't steal dol
lar from the city treasury. They just seen their
opportunities and took them. The books are al
ways right. Everything is all right All they
show is that the Tammany heads of de-
partments looked after their friends within the
law, and gave them what opportunities they
could to make honest graft which sentiments
are Endorsed by Mr. Murphy in a preface highly
commendatory."
do you agree with Mr.. Mcclellan in making
no personal ATTACKS!
II believe in nc personal attacks whatever |
in the campaign. 1 have the highest regard for |
Mr.. McClellans personal purposes and for his |
character. but think him entirely incompetent |
to stand up against the system of which he is |
put forward the facade-the cruelIest system |
of organized corruption in this country and one |
that no one in it's service has yet been able
to stand up against In my experience of thirty |
years. II Mr.. Mcclellan sees fit to put him |
self in such a position he abide by the |
consequences and not appeal to lot of official /
Donts' that have place in Tammany Hall" |
DEFENSIVE CAMPAIGN DEMANDED.
The Mayor says he will make his a defensive
campaign. his administration is being at
tackled"
II think he is entirely right the reply
His administration demands very large de-
fence. and I shall make 1T my particular bust
ness to see that he devotes his time and atten-
ton to defending it."
He says he will devote his time to the diff
ferent departments, but make no mention of
gas. Is that Significant"
This is only the first meeting at which he is
about to speak. He will have plenty of time to
talk about these matters later. and also to go |
further in respect to the bridge matters and |
particularly to tell about the police. fire and
about the tenement houses"
Mr. WINS was told that the Mayor condemned
the Broadway franchise in perpetuity
He is entirely right; / cannot commend his
utterances too heartily. At the time of the
grant of the franchise l. with many of my
friends fright 1t with all my might"
Mr. Wins was asked whether on Saturday
1ight he will instruct the district captains.
81 am not going TO meet them with any such
