Queens and Brooklyn last night that he
had inside information that the Tam

bcrs of men who are on the Tammany
fayron
a candidate gets a lot Of information
from men who do not want their names

Mr. Bannard won splendid attention
that ended in sincere and prolonged ap-
plause in the enemy's camp at the New
Assembly Hail. in briggs avenue. Green

The applause when the chairman intro
duced Mr.. Barnard as "a man of worth

cheers that greeted the candidate later.

I have been a trustee of other peo-
pies money for good many years"
said Nr. Barnard. Il have a kind of an
idea that a Mayor is a trustee for city
mOney-your money. The great big
grab in this city is in the letting of con-
tracts. The way that the business of
the city is done would make a railroad
man or a business man cry.
You have got used to high rents. high
taxes. You are sorry they are high but
when you have made out your check for

worry about il. A business administra-
tion is what is needed. There should
be more reports published letting the
people know just what the city is doing
Annual reports are made 1 know, but
they are got up in such a way that not
one person in a thousand can pick any
thing out of them. When a contract is

necessarily; it should go to the lowest

IF YOUR BOSS CRAFTS.
The system of Tammany is demor-
alizing. If you know your boss is graft
ing. it becomes easier TO pad an expense
account. The majority Of people are
honest but when a lot of men are sitting
in a room surrounding pile OF money
money that is nobody's money-only the
city's money-nobody taking any par
ucular care of it, il is not so easy per-
haps TO keep from picking a little off
the top
The tour included the YorkViiIe Casino,
at No. 21O East S6th street, Manhat-
tan: New Assembly Hall. Greenpoint;
Kreuscher's Hall, in Ridgewood; Dauer's
Han. at Richmond Hill, Lent's Hall, at
Woodhaven; the Young Mems Repub-
lcan Club, at Flatbush avenue and
Ncvins street, and ended with the Acad-
e,ny Of, Music, where, although Mr.. Ban
naId did not arrive until nearly IL
O'clock, a large and enthusiastic crowd
waited.
Mr.. Barnard dwelt on the personal
liberty issue at several of the meetings,
devoting most of his time TO that topic
at the Academy of Music. He said:
The people Of New York are not Of one
