Tammany Cannot Destroy the DemOe
racy.

Baltimore Su.
1t may we'll be doubted whether
Tammany has not lost to the national
Democracy more votes than 1t has had
to give. Since the municipal patronage
of New York city has assumed such
enormous proportions, since the city
budget has become as great as that
of a kingdom. it has been the aim and
object of Tammany to control the pub
lie offices and the public funds. and
the general impression is that In order
to do SO it is always willing to saeri-
flee the best interests of the Demo
cratic party in State and nation. Even
now IL Is charged and generally be-
lieved that the leader of Tammany
favors a political alliance which. It is
predicted, will bring inevitable defeat
TO the Democratic party in the coming
campaign in the State. The reason why

answer TO that question. in the judge

in the conduct of Tammany in thls

New York. It is inconceivable to peo-

A useful life and a deathless name.
Boys to shape the paths for men,
Boys to guide the pillow and pen,
Boys to forward the task begun,
For the worlds great task is never done.
The world is anxious to employ
Not just one, but every boy
