A DEFENCE OF JUSTICE eAYNoR

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; l wish you to know that at least one Of
your numerous readers does not approve OF all
you say about Justce William J. Caynor I have
known him for many years. and I am, perhaps, in
fairly good position to know something Of his
private character and OF some of his many sides
which do not appear in his public career The
public know that for sixteen wears he has faith
fully served them the bench, and that before
then he did more than most citizens TO right
wrongs punish evidOers and to uplft humanity.
believe there is no man IN public life to-day who
Is better equipped to hold public Office. know
OF no man anywhere whom 7 consider better able
to take hold Of the affairs Of our misgoverned
city and make good It is Just such a stern
bold. fearless. courageous, vigorous personality
that can accomplish what an ordinary business
man could not hope to, and I think The Tribune
Will be surprised at the part Justice Gaynor des
tined to play in the approaching political renais-
sance- You have greatly underestimate his abili-
ties and greatly overestimated the ability OF
strong political machine TO thwart his will
think l see in this movement the beginning OF
a new order of things which will eventually ac-
complish, all along the line the ascendancy Of the
better IN pOhIics. I look for a refrigeration
OF the Democratic party in New York City. I be-
ueve that Justice CaynOr is destined to become the
leader Of the Democratic party after its
instauration and I think The Tribune makes a
mistake in assailtng him merely because he hap
pens to have received the nomination among several
others Of a notoriousIy corrupt organization
Whatever the motives of Tammany in nominating
him. it does alter the character Of Justice Gay
nor, for he will be the same Justice GaynOr after
his election as he was before his nomination
